Stripping screws on small electronics is a big worry. These screwdrivers are designed with that consideration in mind. Both screwdriers have a spin cap on the end, which allows you to apply more pressure with the palm of your hand while you are turning the screwdriver with your fingers. And, with the high quality steel we use, the tips will not bend or warp under pressure. These are both of the tools you need to open Nintendo hardware, like the wii, ds lite, wii remote, nunchuk, sensor bar, etc.

The right tool for the job
I ordered this to open up my daughter's 2DS to try and sort out a random problem (cover had fallen off CPU). I only needed the Philips but it was well worth it. It fitted perfectly and the freely rotating end did what it claimed, allowing me to keep downward pressure on the screw while turning it. I'd previously tried for over 10 minutes to undo one of the screws with another screw driver and had to stop when I was worried about wrecking the head of the screw. But with this set I got it out first time. You won't need the tri-heads for a 2DS but it's worth it just for the good quality Philips head

Fully functional and did the job just fine.
It's difficult to review a product like this. It either works or it doesn't. and in this case, it did the job just fine. I smashed the screen on my Wii U controller and decided to fix it myself (which was fun!). These scredrivers were great, and I couldn't have done it without them. however, I feel like the handles could be better. Not very comfortable atall on your fingers, which you can probably tell by looking at the photo. But, hopefully, I won't need them again. So for a one off, they did the job perfectly and I certainly can't argue with the price.

Works perfectly with Macbooks
These are well made and reasonable quality, certainly good enough for the low asking price, and work very well.The plastic is a little slippery and the drivers are a bit thin so if you have large hands then they will not be good for extended use if you want to avoid thumb strain.I used mine to remove the tri-wing screws holding in the battery in a 2013 MacBook Pro, which in turn allowed me to access the trackpad adjustment screw which had come loose. They worked perfectly for this task.The carry case is handy and keeps the drivers together in my tool bag but it's not that robust so don't treat it too harshly.Overall I'm very happy. I've probably saved a couple hundred pounds in repair fees by getting these little fellas so I highly recommend them.

Nice bit of kit, this.
I never expected these screwdrivers to be so darned good at their job. Having to replace my DS Lite touchscreen, I set to work by locating the screws which consisted of Tri-wing and Phillips types (Which you get in this set)They are sturdy and well made. The coloured tops are not only for you to determine which is which, they are also able to swivel just incase you need to put a little more pressure from above while turning the screwdriver for those reluctant screws that you may get.All in all a great product to have, especially for those repairs/replacements for your Nintendo gadgets and handhelds.

Affordable and did the job!
I bought these to open up my old Gameboy DMG unit. The biggest one was a perfect fit, it didn't chew up the screws and it made it extremely simple. They came in a nice little pouch and you get three different sizes in the set.If you are looking to carry out some modifications to your Nintendo consoles then I'd recommend picking these up.

Great price, great buy.
Needed to change the shell of a GameCube controller with another in order to switch the circuit board out for a newer one. The largest growing screwdriver (the yellow-banded one) worked perfectly, and the process was both quick and easy. Would definitely recommend for anyone doing a similar job. Postage was quick, and the price is cheap.

Does what it says on the tin!
Ordered on the 2nd of April (at 11pm I might add). Product arrived on the 4th and in good condition.Opening the wallet (as pictured) I was delighted to see not only the three screwdrivers but also a bag of replacement screws and a anti-static cloth of sorts. Much more than I had expected to be honest!Drivers work great and like some of the other reviews, the coloured top spins which makes it easier to keep the screw in place.No problems with quality of drivers, just make sure you use the correct size when loosening screws. One top tip that I would add, grab a magnet off your fridge and attach it to the screw driver in use for a minute or so. Saves loads of hassle especially for deep screw holes!For a fiver.. It was well worth the money. Highly recommended.

Screwdriver set for DS Lite
Bought this set as I needed to replace the worn touch screen on my girlfriends Nintendo DS. Larger of the 2 Tri Wing drivers worked perfectly to remove screws without slipping or damaging the screw heads. Really the only one required in the set for dismantling Nintendo DS Lite but I'm sure the others will come in useful at some point. Found the head of the small philips driver a bit to small for practical use but found a small general purpose Phillips screwdriver from my tool box worked better on remaining screws. Overall, helped accomplish the job it was intended for.
