iFixit Mako Driver Kit – 64 Precision Bit Set for Electronics Repair

The best value and quality kit for your money.
As the “tech support” family, our relatives come to us asking for repairs of various electronic devices. As simple as desktop PCs, and as complex as MacBooks or iPads. This one product has been the single best investment I have ever made in my tech repair career. You can teardown anything that is thrown at you, with the large variety of high-quality bits that are very resilient.The various sizes of standards like Philips, Flathead, and Torx help ensure that you will be suited for any situation. But the advantage of this kit is in the obscure bits. You can count on those Tri-Wing/Y bits to get you into Nintendo consoles and controllers without stripping the screw or the bit breaking. The Gamebit security screws helped turn a broken Virtual Boy into a fully-functioning unit. There are even Triangle bits which can help you fix kids toys. The tips are all magnetic, too, which is a plus in not losing screws to the abyss and having to shake them out of your device.The magnetic cover and sorting tray is an absolute GAMECHANGER. For years it was a hassle to keep screws organized and not misplace them during my repairs; especially so in taking breaks from a teardown. Now, I can sort them easily within the tray and visually remember the order they came from. If I am interrupted, I can simply place the bit set over the cover and not worry about screws becoming misplaced or out of order from a bump on the table.If you have a “tech support” family in your life and they don’t have one of these yet, do them a favor. They make your life easier by setting up your printer, fixing your internet, removing viruses, replacing dead hard drives, fixing broken power ports, and so much more… now it’s time to make their lives easier.

A Quality Tool Set
I have had this set for about 4 months now and want to take the time to do a proper review. I was impressed with how sturdy the driver, case, and all of the bits were immediately. However, with things like tools, I feel like looks can be deceiving. The only way to tell the true quality and comfort of them is through use on various projects and time. Well 4 months isn’t a long period of time, but I feel I have used these on enough projects at this point to give an accurate opinion on their true quality.For starters, everything I’ve used in this kit has fit perfectly to its designated purpose. There are no loose fitting bits stripping out the heads of screws and no oversized ones needing to be filed down. I am just as happy about the ease of use and comfort. The driver is well made, perfectly weighted, and just the right size to fit in tight areas while allowing me to still have a full grip when I need to break free a tight screw. The layout of the bits with their angular placement is the most functional on any kit that I’ve used. They’re easily identifiable while allowing constant access to all of the bits. There’s no need to shuffle around others to get to the desired one.The entire kit is well thought out and a breath of fresh air with its simplicity. The lid is thick, heavy, and spacious enough to make the perfect parts’ tray when I’m working outside of my normal workstation.When I’m working on things, I feel like everything flows from one step to another so much smoother now that I have this kit. I no longer am stopping and going every few minutes to change bits, replace my previously used bits, and to juggle my parts tray into the mix so I don’t lose any parts.Finally, I’d like to address the lifetime warranty. Let’s face it, there’s hundreds of kits out there.You’d probably need a dozen of them to get all the special bits that come in this set. Who knows how many of those bits would be a one job and done tool. I’ve had bits in kits that didn’t make it through the disassembly of a single controller, let alone multiple projects. This kit is made to last, and they stand by that. I speak based on experience. I recently had my first bit failure and decided to reach out to the iFixit team. I will add that this particular bit seemed to be a one off, mismanufactured piece as it portrayed none of the quality I’ve come to expect from this kit. The company responded to me post haste, and within 24 hours sent out not one, but two replacement bits for the one I had an issue with. Within two days, I received the well packaged replacements along with a pleasant note, and I couldn’t be more impressed.I will not hesitate to purchase any other products that iFixit offers in the future. I am happy that I found this product and this great company that stands behind it. I highly recommend this toolkit to anyone, from those who want to try their hand at repairing their own electronics, to the avid electronics modifiers who need tools that last.

Amazing for the Money
Great toolkit with all the bits you could need when working with tech. It’s all very easy to use and the addition of walls in the top make it usable as a screw tray. Great investment and well worth the money.

Overpriced, High Quality.
Although it is quite overpriced, it is very high quality. The enclosure is made of durable plastic with a magnet on each corner, the magnets go all the way to the other side, so you can have the lid attach to the back as well. The screw driver feels very premium as it is made out of aluminum. You also get a few stickers hidden in the pamphlet.

I’ve used this kit for everything from upgrading my PC to fixing a loose screw on my glasses. The bits are well-machined, and I haven’t had any issues with stripping or poor fit. The driver feels sturdy and comfortable in hand, and the magnetic bit holder is strong enough to keep everything secure while working in tight spaces.The case is compact and organized, which makes it easy to keep everything in place. I also appreciate that it covers just about every bit type I’ve needed so far — Torx, Pentalobe, Tri-point, you name it.It’s not the cheapest kit out there, but the quality really stands out. If you do any kind of electronics or small repairs, this is a great investment.

Además en la página web de iFixit del producto, se puede encontrar esta misma infografía para descargar y/o imprimir si se desea.El destornillador es de aluminio liso y rugoso en la zona de agarre. Hay que recordar que esta es una herramienta de precisión, por lo que no es necesario un agarre de goma. El imantado es suficiente para sujetar los tornillos en la punta antes de su inserción o tras retirarlos. El extensor cumple su función, si bien es cierto que podría ser algo más flexible.Las puntas son de metal de gran calidad, con las formas muy bien definidas. Nada de puntas mal definidas, deformadas u oxidadas. Se nota que aquí han puesto todo su empeño en hacer un producto de calidad. Tiene todas las formas y medidas que cualquier aficionado o profesional de la electrónica pueda necesitar para desmontar y reparar cualquier aparato. Mención especial a las dos puntas para desmontar consolas antiguas de Nintendo, ya que son difíciles de encontrar.Es cierto que el precio puede parecer caro, en comparación con otros productos similares que se pueden encontrar, pero si se leen los comentarios de esos productos se pueden ver reportes de puntas oxidadas, deformadas o incluso que se rompen al primer uso. Por lo que recomiendo gastar unos pocos euros más y tener un producto de gran calidad.
