Wera 73675 Kraftform Micro Precision Screwdriver Set, 12 Pieces

Product Information

Sets that comprise a universal handle with many interchangeable tips are popular because they’re light and easy to carry, but once you lose one of the tips it tends to stay lost – they’re not very big and are often dull in colour. Lose too many and you’ll have to buy a new set of tips, or potentially replace the whole set. Can’t I just buy any old cheap screwdrivers? There’s also an eight-piece precision screwdriver set that includes four Torx drivers, perfect for taking laptops apart, and even a pair of offset screwdrivers, with a different bit at each end, for those really awkward spots. 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.

Regarding materials, the Wera Kraftform Precision Screwdriver Set, the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit, and the Xiaomi Electric Precision Screwdriver all have a wow factor when opening the box and using the screwdriver for the first time. But this feeling is for different reasons. The Sharden Precision Screwdriver Set is the kitchen sink of precision screwdriver sets with 120 total bits. This is the precision screwdriver set to buy if you don’t want to ever worry about having the right tool for your precision tasks. 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.

Part of this comes from the oval-like sections surrounding the grip, including a rubberized material for added grip. The grip’s curvatures also form nicely to your hand and fingers. 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. 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.

Extendable shafts are great for reaching deep corners, and flexible shafts can turn screws in awkward positions or tight areas. Electronics repairs 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. 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.

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.Wera’s Kraftform handle has great curvatures and materials for exceptional ergonomics and gripping power. The grip is designed in a way that there are three zones, the top for fast rotation, the middle for gripping control, and the base near the shaft for precision twisting. But you won’t get everything with the Megepro 25-In-1 Precision Screwdriver. Some other models include swappable shafts that can extend or are flexible. The Megapro model doesn’t include either feature. The best screwdriver sets you can buy in 2023 1. Rolson 58-piece screwdriver set: Best cheap screwdriver set Everything about this set is sensibly designed, from the shot-blasted tips that reduce breakage, to the ergonomic shapes and smooth domed ends to the handles that allow them to spin easily. Colour-coded ends mean you’ll soon be able to identify the tool you want without having to peer at the tip.

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 Electric Heater Accessories Gas Cylinder Storage Gas Heater Accessories Propane/Butane Hoses and Regulators The single-blade drivers are a nice range from larger ends down to tiny precision models, in both flat and Phillips configurations. They’re magnetic and have a weatherproof coating that should save them from rusting if they get wet. This is both an excellent first screwdriver set and a bargain too. 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.The Sharden model can’t match the iFixit’s build quality, though it is still a pleasure to use. You also won’t get a separate bit carrying case with the Sharden Precision Screwdriver Set – the tools and bits store in a carrying pouch. Before you buy the biggest set you can find, ask yourself what your priorities are – if you just want a set for occasional DIY, then you don’t need a 100-piece set with every possible head. Equally, if you need a set for specific technical jobs, in addition to everyday home DIY, then it pays to make sure you buy a set that covers every eventuality, and has a suitably wide range of head types and sizes. It’s worth noting that metric bits have almost completely replaced Imperial-sized ones, but screws put in 50 years ago haven’t heard about this. Still, it’s possible to use a driver that’s slightly too small to loosen a screw, so it’s not worth worrying about having every possible size in your collection. A choice of the most common sizes, in both flathead and Phillips (cross-shaped) will do for most day-to-day jobs. A halfway house between the Stanley Fat Max set and the cheaper ones, this set from Draper Tools offers a good range of different blades. 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.
