Platinum Tools Precision Screwdriver Set

When working on a desktop or notebook computer, it’s alway advisable to use quality tools. There is nothing worse than having to do a screw extraction because you used an inferior screwdriver and managed to strip the screw head. It’s definitely time and money lost.

I’ve been looking for a quality screwdriver set, particularly for working on notebooks. During my search I came across what looked to be the answer, the Platinum Tools screwdriver set – 33 piece.

I bought it at   Cyberguys, and it was reasonably priced at $27.44 with shipping.  Here’s what you get:

Pozi Drive PZ1 and PZ0

Phillips 000, 00, 0, 1

Slotted 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0. 3.5, 4.0

Torx 4.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20

Hex 0.7, 0.9, 1.3, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0

M5 Socket, M6 Socket, M4 Shaft

The screwdriver itself has a soft handle (which I like), and the tail end rotates, so you can hold it there and stabilize it even while turning the screwdriver. As you can see from the pictures, the screwdriver itself can be extended to a 9.5″ length. None of the pieces in this set look or feel cheap and look to last a long time. I’ve already used it during a couple of recent projects and was impressed with the quality.
