Wera 73675 Kraftform Micro Precision Screwdriver Set, 12 Pieces

Product Information

Most precision screwdrivers come with various bits and head types. Bit versatility is essential for electronics repairs that use many kinds of screws different from the most common types. Shaft type The Wera model’s handle uses a combination of durable plastic and rubberized materials to improve the gripping power for a highly-ergonomic precision screwdriver. PC and laptop repairs: Phillips, slotted, torx, and hex screws are commonly found in desktop PCs and laptops. The most basic maintenance can be completed with only a Phillips screwdriver. But more in-depth, warranty-voiding repairs use other screw types, including tamper-proof screws. As for the iFixit Pro model, the all-metal design, knurling, and swivel cap are well-designed to hold the precision screwdriver in different orientations and for different hand sizes.

Precision screwdrivers come in three different forms. All-in-ones are the most portable and convenient since they include several swappable bits stored within the tool. There’s less risk of losing bits, and you’ll need to carry only one tool for different jobs. All-in-ones like the Megapro Precision Screwdriver are super convenient though you don’t get as many bit options as most precision screwdriver sets like the iFixit Moray or Oria Precision Screwdriver Set.

The extendable shaft can also be swapped out for a flexible shaft if you need to drive screws in tight corners. What’s also different about the Wera Kraftform Precision Screwdriver Set is that 12 different screwdrivers are included, versus all-in-ones with a single tool with swappable shafts and bits. While you will need to carry more tools to complete various tasks, the upside is that these precision screwdrivers are less bulky and have fewer moving parts. The category of precision screwdrivers spans DIY and electronics jobs. So buying the best screwdriver for your specific needs is important. Below, we cover the essentials so you can make the right buying decision the first time. All-in-one or setSome precision screwdrivers have swappable shafts that can be extended or flexible, which is great for versatility. Extendable shafts are great for reaching deep corners, and flexible shafts can turn screws in awkward positions or tight areas. Electronics repairs iPhone and smartphone repairs: Phillips screws are commonly found in various smartphone models. Apple iPhones use a mix of screw types, including the P2 pentalobe design, a five-point, tamper-proof screw.

We couldn’t find any standard or specialty bits this set doesn’t include. You’ll also get flexible and extendable shaft options, plus a wide array of electronics repair tools. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a bit or electronics tool the Shared Precision Screwdriver Set doesn’t include. Credit: Nathan Hamilton Also, we wish the end cap was designed differently. We found it hard to seat the end cap into our palms and twist the screwdriver handle with our fingers smoothly for one-handed use. The end cap tended to rotate with the screwdriver instead of staying in my palm. You can fix this by seating the end cap into the outsides of your palm. Adding a rubberized material or a differently-shaped end cap that isn’t as smooth could also fix this problem and make it easier to use one-handed. One feature that stands out is the rubberized bit holders, which are pliable, easy to grip and hold the bits well. Other precision screwdriver sets with similar rubberized bit holders can feel cheap or don’t hold the bits securely.The Xiaomi Electric Precision Screwdriver is the best electric precision screwdriver we tested. What stood out most to us is the thoughtful design and build quality. The precision screwdriver is made of metal and has a good weight in hand without being too heavy. Mac computers and laptops: Apple desktop computers and laptops can be repaired using standard Phillips and slotted screwdrivers. Different Apple computers also use the pentalobe design.
