Tools and Hardware Reviews of Anytime Tools AT200430 101 Piece Tamper Proof/security Screwdriver Bits and 1/4" Square/hex Reversible Mini RatchetCustomer Review: Important Torx Bits Missing! Summary: 2 Stars
When I received this product I was initially very pleased. The case is solid heavy-duty plastic molded construction, and there are quite an assortment of bits inside, and they look to be of good quality.
However I began to realize all too soon that many of these bits are "filler" bits. I.e., they have no real utility in consumer electronics devices. For example, in each class of bit (altogether 15 types of bit) there are a couple and sometimes several giant bits in sizes 30, 35, and even 40. These bits are for large mechanical devices, certainly not consumer electronics. They have no place in a consumer electronics kit.
But I wouldn't complain if the kit at least included the bits that are very common in consumer electronic devices. For example, the smallest Torx bit is size T-8! This is absurd. Practically the entire Apple hardware line uses Torx-6. In fact this is the reason I originally bought the kit--to service a failed harddrive in my PowerBook G4. Well, the purchase ended up being useful after all: I now have a $30US (after all shipping etc.) door stop.
Anytime Tools could at least have listed the sizes they do have within the kit. Saying "9 torx" and "9 tamperproof torx" is misleading, as most that do any serious servicing of electronics (especially Apple products) would immediately assume it included the most popular sizes, specifically Torx-6. Only now do I realize I should have gone with Anytime Tools' Micro Precision Toolset.
Annoyed,
Dalmazio
