Mako Driver Kit

As the "tech support" family, our relatives come to us asking for repairs of various electronic devices. As simple as desktop PCs, and as complex as MacBooks or iPads. This one product has been the single best investment I have ever made in my tech repair career. You can teardown anything that is thrown at you, with the large variety of high-quality bits that are very resilient.The various sizes of standards like Philips, Flathead, and Torx help ensure that you will be suited for any situation. But the advantage of this kit is in the obscure bits. You can count on those Tri-Wing/Y bits to get you into Nintendo consoles and controllers without stripping the screw or the bit breaking. The Gamebit security screws helped turn a broken Virtual Boy into a fully-functioning unit. There are even Triangle bits which can help you fix kids toys. The tips are all magnetic, too, which is a plus in not losing screws to the abyss and having to shake them out of your device. The magnetic cover and sorting tray is an absolute GAMECHANGER. For years it was a hassle to keep screws organized and not misplace them during my repairs; especially so in taking breaks from a teardown. Now, I can sort them easily within the tray and visually remember the order they came from. If I am interrupted, I can simply place the bit set over the cover and not worry about screws becoming misplaced or out of order from a bump on the table. If you have a "tech support" family in your life and they don't have one of these yet, do them a favor. They make your life easier by setting up your printer, fixing your internet, removing viruses, replacing dead hard drives, fixing broken power ports, and so much more... now it's time to make their lives easier.

They make a great product. Magnetic box is perfect for opening and closing. Everything inside stays in place. The bits are easy to remove and replace. Every bit is labeled and the place where it attaches is labeled in the box. I have seperate precision screw drivers and this replaces all of them. You get what you pay for and this is worth the price. I used it to add an 8tb ssd in my PS5 Pro wich has 2 different screws. I didn't want to risk stripping them. This set handled it perfectly.

This little kit is top rate. With electronic devices having such a variety of screw types and sizes, I've already used this several times. In my case, I needed to remove a security screw on a video doorbell. I've only used a few of the bits, but it makes me confident that I will be prepared the next time I need to open or adjust an electronic device, without having to make a trip to the store. Everything including the case has a premium feel and appearance, and it's easy to close and store. I am very happy having this on-hand.

Very good, durable, the bits came in handy many times, doesn't strip screws, genuinely amazing product that's meant to last. Highly recommend.

I have had this set for about 4 months now and want to take the time to do a proper review. I was impressed with how sturdy the driver, case, and all of the bits were immediately. However, with things like tools, I feel like looks can be deceiving. The only way to tell the true quality and comfort of them is through use on various projects and time. Well 4 months isn't a long period of time, but I feel I have used these on enough projects at this point to give an accurate opinion on their true quality. For starters, everything I've used in this kit has fit perfectly to its designated purpose. There are no loose fitting bits stripping out the heads of screws and no oversized ones needing to be filed down. I am just as happy about the ease of use and comfort. The driver is well made, perfectly weighted, and just the right size to fit in tight areas while allowing me to still have a full grip when I need to break free a tight screw. The layout of the bits with their angular placement is the most functional on any kit that I've used. They're easily identifiable while allowing constant access to all of the bits. There's no need to shuffle around others to get to the desired one. The entire kit is well thought out and a breath of fresh air with its simplicity. The lid is thick, heavy, and spacious enough to make the perfect parts' tray when I'm working outside of my normal workstation. When I'm working on things, I feel like everything flows from one step to another so much smoother now that I have this kit. I no longer am stopping and going every few minutes to change bits, replace my previously used bits, and to juggle my parts tray into the mix so I don't lose any parts. Finally, I'd like to address the lifetime warranty. Let's face it, there's hundreds of kits out there. You'd probably need a dozen of them to get all the special bits that come in this set. Who knows how many of those bits would be a one job and done tool. I've had bits in kits that didn't make it through the disassembly of a single controller, let alone multiple projects. This kit is made to last, and they stand by that. I speak based on experience. I recently had my first bit failure and decided to reach out to the iFixit team. I will add that this particular bit seemed to be a one off, mismanufactured piece as it portrayed none of the quality I've come to expect from this kit. The company responded to me post haste, and within 24 hours sent out not one, but two replacement bits for the one I had an issue with. Within two days, I received the well packaged replacements along with a pleasant note, and I couldn't be more impressed. I will not hesitate to purchase any other products that iFixit offers in the future. I am happy that I found this product and this great company that stands behind it. I highly recommend this toolkit to anyone, from those who want to try their hand at repairing their own electronics, to the avid electronics modifiers who need tools that last.

Really good quality driver and bits with broadest assortment of sizes. Worked great for a phone repair where cheap screwdriver sets were stripping heads.

Excellent tool kit to have if you work on small electronics. Has just about every bit you would need for things like controllers, phones, laptops, and other devices. The handle feels comfortable, the bits fit well, and everything feels high quality instead of cheap. Definitely one of those kits you end up using more than you expected.

I bought this kit for three reasons: 1: the quality of the driver handle 2: the case 3: the bit selection Overall I am very pleased with the kit as is... but I would like to see it improved in the future if they revise it. Anyone that works on electronics or computers is very familiar with the fact that not only do you need tons of different types of bit drivers, but that often times those fasteners are buried deep down in little plastic holes and you need a long thin driver to get down in there. I really like the handle that comes in this kid. That was one of my primary reasons for buying it. However every time I turn around the bit that came with this kit are not long enough to be used in the application because they won’t reach down into the hole. They really should have designed all of these bits to have a shaft section about twice as long so that they would be a lot more useful. There would still be plenty of room in the existing case for the lid to shut with a bit that long and there would be way more utility for the set. I also need to add some insulated bits with a plastic tip for making adjustments to components on circuit boards were you don’t want to adjust them with a metal driver like a trimmer cap. That would be a nice touch. The flexible extension is handy but again it’s a little use if you’re trying to get the bit down a little bitty hole because if the head of the extension won’t fit down in there then it doesn’t matter. As far as the case, I think it’s great… I really like the way that the inside of the lid has a little ridges to keep passing or separated so that you can divide things up as you take them apart. I actually wish that the ridges we’re about twice as tall as they are although it works the way it is.

Even though I don’t use it as much as I originally thought that I would. Part of that has to do with how many tools that I own. If this were the only set of tools that I owned I would use it a lot more. If all that I did all day was work on computers then it would be a fabulous set of tools and I would be constantly using it so that’s why I gave it four stars as a good value for most people. again.

El producto llegó en la fecha prevista, previo envío por parte de iFixit de la factura correspondiente el día antes, por lo que un 10 en atención al cliente, tanto por Amazon como por iFixit. Nada más ver el estuche se nota calidad, tanto en la tapa, que se fija perfectamente gracias a unos imanes, como en el interior. La base donde colocar las puntas es de goma eva y cada punta se mantiene en su posición perfectamente. Debajo de cada punta hay grabado el tipo y número de ésta. Es cierto que es difícil verlo a simple vista, ya que el el fondo completamente de color negro, pero eso no supone un mayor problema como algunos usuarios han reportado, ya que cada punta tiene grabada también la numeración y en la parte trasera de la caja hay una infografía con todas las puntas contenidas en la caja. Además en la página web de iFixit del producto, se puede encontrar esta misma infografía para descargar y/o imprimir si se desea. El destornillador es de aluminio liso y rugoso en la zona de agarre. Hay que recordar que esta es una herramienta de precisión, por lo que no es necesario un agarre de goma. El imantado es suficiente para sujetar los tornillos en la punta antes de su inserción o tras retirarlos. El extensor cumple su función, si bien es cierto que podría ser algo más flexible. Las puntas son de metal de gran calidad, con las formas muy bien definidas. Nada de puntas mal definidas, deformadas u oxidadas. Se nota que aquí han puesto todo su empeño en hacer un producto de calidad. Tiene todas las formas y medidas que cualquier aficionado o profesional de la electrónica pueda necesitar para desmontar y reparar cualquier aparato. Mención especial a las dos puntas para desmontar consolas antiguas de Nintendo, ya que son difíciles de encontrar. Es cierto que el precio puede parecer caro, en comparación con otros productos similares que se pueden encontrar, pero si se leen los comentarios de esos productos se pueden ver reportes de puntas oxidadas, deformadas o incluso que se rompen al primer uso. Por lo que recomiendo gastar unos pocos euros más y tener un producto de gran calidad.

Has (probably) everything you will need, great quality

I purchased this toolkit to upgrade the RAM in my 2018 Core i5 Mac mini. The unit was getting incredibly hot when updating the photo library (40,000+ images), and after OS-X Catalina update and the plethora of issues I suffered it just got worse and worse. RAM usage was showing at 5.5Gb so I thought there was plenty of RAM left for general tasks, but now the unit was 12 months old and effectively out of warranty period I decided to upgrade the RAM as I couldn't do any harm. On Apple's website it states this is a service centre only task on the latest machines, if you have any sense of logic, mechanical sympathy, and patience trust me, it's not a difficult job as there are plenty of online guides. I got my toolkit out from my old MacMini that I'd bought from iFixit and low and behold the first 6 bolts I encounter have security heads which aren't in my old kit. I found a bespoke MacMini RAM upgrade toolkit on Amazon for about £16, but it only has 3 tools in it. This comprehensive kit at £29 makes much more sense as it's got your bases covered for so much more. One day later it arrived, and I'm pleased to report it's really decent quality. So I stripped the Mac down in about 10 minutes which wasn't hard. Put the screws/bolts in a labelled box to help with reassembly, the hardest part is getting the logic board out which required a bit of a shove, but there are no more than 12 or so screws/bolts to remove to get to the RAM. Ensure when seating the RAM you push it until you hear a positive clicking sound and it will go no further. It seats at 45 degrees on the board so don't try and push it beyond this. Re-assembly wasn't hard, the hardest part was re-seating the wifi antenna cable & accompanying screw. I used the plastic Uspudger from my old Mac mini kit, but any thin plastic pry bar with a flat end would do. Ever since completing the upgrade even with minimal tasks my Mac mini has been using 7-10Gb of RAM so there is clearly RAM throttling going on when using 8Gb as it was using 5Gb for the same tasks previously. The highest use I've seen to date is 12Gb with quite a few apps open (Photo/Music/Safari/Mail). If you do a lot of video editing in 4K I strongly recommend considering 32Gb upgrade (2x16 as there are only 2 slots), or you ca choose to max out at 64Gb (32x2). Overall the upgrade has been very beneficial, but the toolkit made it an absolute breeze. The bits are solid, don't round off, and if they are anything like the old kit which I've had since 2011 it will be a great investment that I've already used on for other jobs on an Acer desktop and an Alienware Laptop. I only ended up using 3 of the attachments in the Mac mini TR6 / T5 / T10, but I strongly recommend you search for the plastic spudger kit (you can get 2 for £1.50) to go with it as it makes the electrical connectors far easier to remove.
