Complete garbage you’d find in a Fry’s checkout line retail display
Don’t. Just, no. Every single object, right down to the velcro, is complete shit. Not worth a single fart’s worth of a second glance. Buy a proper iFixit kit for a little more dough and never regret your decision, like I, an unfortunate owner of the loathsome turd featured in this Drop, once shamefully did.

Kris_KI suppose I was hoping for torquing surfaces to hold their edges and shape a lot longer than my kit did. Simply loosening a Phillips headed thumb screw nut from my PC chassis rounded off one of the Phillipshead bits like it was made of melted butter. Reminded me a lot of how malleable a substance like tin or lead can be, and instantly turned me off from ever using the kit again. Perhaps I got a dud, and admittedly It’s an okay kit for newcomer DIYers, but I’d obviously pass for more resilient built-to-last tools that will be just as excellent 30 years from today as they were for a project I just completed with them. Going cheap on tools is among the most costly of mistakes in the long term a person could make.

akarsnerThat's usually a good indication you're tightening it way too much or have tightened it too much and tying to undo that. For a PC, it there really isn't any advantage to putting too much torque into screwing something in, you're not building a bed or a table..
