Aimed at opening things inside computer cases and electronics cases than anything else. Useful if can get mini socket heads with it too. Probably 50-60 different heads total. Snag is all the ones I've seen are based on a 1/4" hex drive system which means the shank is too big to allow access to deeply recessed smaller screws. Heh, I've cut a slot in the rear end of the bits before so they'll take a conventional slotted screwdriver with a long shaft. So long as the screwdriver's magnetised, the bit comes out happily with the screwdriver... (it was that or I was finding places were charging ten quid or more for long-shaft drivers which had the more oddball tips to them) |
