Tools and Hardware Reviews of HOMAK HT06801700 17-Piece Precision Pliers/Screwdriver Set
Customer Review: Cheaply Made | UPDATE: Almost Garbage
Summary: 2 Stars
This product is cheaply made. I haven't used it all that much, so I don't know how long it is going to last, but I was disappointed in the quality. For example, I couldn't even get the case to zipper up.
Product details:
There are really only 16 pieces included. They count the case as the 17th piece.
There are 5 assorted pliers, and 11 screwdrivers. These include 2 flat-heads (3mm and 2.5mm), 2 Phillips(0 and 00), and 7 torx of various sizes. There is also a fabric case about the size of a thick notebook that has slots for each tool, and is supposed to fold up and zip shut.
UPDATE:
After using this set several times, I've realized that the quality of this set is terrible. The magnetic paint on the tips has started to chip off, and stubborn screws have completely twisted some of the heads. In addition, I've found that having only two size flatheads, and only two Phillips, really limits the uses of this set.
Customer Review: Poor Craftsmanship
Summary: 2 Stars
This set is not manufactured to quality standards. Two of the screwdrivers (a philips and a flathead) had shafts mounted off-center, leaving a devastating wobble in the screwdriver. I have not worked with the pliers or the torx drivers, but I won't get a chance to, either. These are going back.
My recommendation is to look for higher quality. I have enjoyed Wiha's precision tools like those linked below, and intend to pick up a set to replace this junk.

Customer Review: Handy Techie Tool Kit at a Great Price.
Summary: 5 Stars
This kit is perfect for working on computers and other electronics. It is always useful to have screwdrivers this size and I was really impressed with the set of pliers that came with the set. They fit very comfortably into your hands and provide maximum control.
The case is nice as well to make sure that you do not lose any of the tools. It could be stored easily in an office desk drawer or on a shelf near your computers.
I would definitely recommend this product to others who are looking for a solid set of mini tools to work on electronics.
Customer Review: Great Price & Great Quality!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was honestly kind of worried that these would be a waste of money because the price is cheap and normally tools that are cheap in price are also cheap in quality.
But not these!
These are great quality!
My husband has every tool and almost always buys craftsman tools since you can rely on the quality..and he says these are great
(these were not a gift so its not like hes saying they are great to make
me feel better.. lol... he bought these himself)!
They also come with sturdy handy case!
Customer Review: Well Made Product, Good Price
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good set for those looking for a well-made set of precision pliers. While the bit selection is limited, the drivers are of fairly good quality, so you still have a good product here. The pliers are great though and perform quite well. I would go with another set if you are just looking for small torx and hex-type bits, but you would be hard pressed to find a better set of precision pliers for this price. That alone makes this set worthy of purchase.
