Tools and Hardware Reviews of Boxer 30 Pcs 4mm Precision Screwdriver Set
Customer Review: My others sets are going in the trash.....
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to open up my iPaq handheld device, to repair its speaker. To do so I needed two very small (T5 & T6) torx heads. I have several sets of small screwdrivers, that I have used over the years for many small jobs, but none had a T5 head. So, after looking at various sets on the Internet, I bought this one. I am glad that I did. The case is about 7 inches long, sturdy, with a nice sliding lock. The locks on my other small sets are overlapping bits of plastic that either got so loose that they're useless, or were so tight that when you tried to open the box you had to exert quite a bit of force -- sometimes the darn thing opened so suddenly that the drivers came out. In this case, you slide the lock, and open the box. Simple. The handle and the bits are well-secured in snap-in holders. These work fine but, I suspect, might loosen (or break) with time. We'll see. The red/black part of the handle (see item photo) is about 3.75 inches long -- long enough that (at least in my hand) the top part of the handle sits comfortably in my palm, while my fingers grip further down. You don't feel like you're holding a teeny-weeny tool - it feels quite robust. The top part of the handle rotates, and the lower part (where your fingers grip) is rubberized; these two features make it very easy to control the driver when you are working. The metal part of the handle is magnetized. This not only means that a bit stays put in the handle, it also means that a screw "magnetically attaches" to the tip of the bit. This makes removing & re-inserting these tiny screws so much easier. I used the tool to open up, and re-close, my iPaq - it worked like a charm. My only regret is using those other sets of small drivers for so long. Never again. They're going into the trash. This is a 5 star tool.Customer Review: Very Good Micro Set
Summary: 5 Stars
The price makes this set an excellent value. As other reviewers have noted, the quality is not pro-grade and would not stand up to heavy use over time. For home and hobby use, however, it is great.
The kit comes with a micro driver and a good selection of hex, Torx, Phillips, and slotted driver bits, from small to tiny. Note that none of the hex or Torx bits are of the 'security' style, with a hole in the middle. All the bits I have used so far have been for work on computer components and logic boards and have fit well in the fasteners.
The bits live in a usable plastic box with a clear cover and sliding plastic catch. The catch on mine had red arrow and green arrow indicators for open and close- for those of us who struggle with that kind of thing. The bits are nicely arranged at an angle in plastic grips that make it easy to select them and put them back where they belong. The case and driver on my kit came with badly misaligned logos and letters... Doesn't evoke a feel of quality but given the price, I rate this product the full five stars as my expectations were met and feel this was still a good buy for the money.
Customer Review: Good product.
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently received my set from Amazon. Id had a cheap set of mini screwdrivers, but wanted a set that was magnetized... as the tiny screws Id tried to put in were too small to handle well with just my finger-tips. The magnet in this one holds the small screws in place very well, and also holds in the tips you put into the handle.. very securely. None of the previous reviews seemed to mention how the swivel handle works. It works well; the top part (the Red part) of the handle swivels, so you can push down on the top of the screwdriver with the palm of your hand, while turning the lower part with your fingers, to screw-in your screw (one-handed); or, you can do it with 2 hands. Either way it works well. Based on previous reviews, I hope my tips dont bend, but I dont plan to disassemble computers or any big projects, just eyeglasses, and small electronics. The insert gives a California address for Boxer, but says made in Taiwan, this is 'free' China, who has been a modern and well-developed country, and strong ally of the US, for many years, I have a lot of trust in workers from there.Customer Review: Lots of sizes, but missing a few key security bits.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought these as part of a combo, and they were only a few bucks considering that I was already paying shipping from the seller.
They've got all the itty-bitty torx bits needed for my motorola phones, as well as the tiniest hex bits I've ever seen (anyone know what actually uses a 0.7mm hex drive head?)
There are 2 things I would prefer to be different however. Firstly this is a 4mm drive set, meaning that the only tool I have to hold the bits is the one that came with them. It's not a big deal, but 1/4" drive would have been great (although it would probably encourage overtightening of previously-mentioned super-small bits and would result in breakage).
The second thing I would have liked would have been some tri-wing bits. These bits are used on a good number of electronics and are hard to come by in the super-small sizes needed. In my opinion this kit should replace some of the Philips or Flathead bits with other less common bits as it's pretty easy to find the Philips and Flatheads in very small sizes.
Customer Review: This is precision all the way
Summary: 5 Stars
This set of bits and a holder is done as nicely as anyone could want. It's precision all the way, from the case, to the tools and the holder, and the nice way everything is arranged.
The case has a sliding colored lock that insured all these small tools won't get spilled and mixed, and the case reveals just what's inside. Once opening, all the tools are snapped securely in place, as well as the holder. The bits are easily removed, and replaced. There is little chance these will jar loose traveling. The way they are slanted makes for very easy removing and putting back. The range of sizes and types will certainly cover a multitude of items.
This whole package "feels" good, you know you've not just bought a bunch of something to have, you've bought a fine quality item that the folks were interested it just doing right.
