Pros:

Decently comprehensive set of tools. The included tools are generaly on the side of higher quality.

Cons:

There are some really weird choices on inclusion here. The pencil soldering iron is bizarre, and toes the line of minimum wattage to melt solder.

The inclusion of magnetized tools baffles me to no end. I was expecting triwing bits that would be smaller (electronics repairs usually require much smaller screws), but the included ones aren't exactly going to fit into tiny places.

Overall Review:

I don't get the product, and that's why I'm having trouble with this.

If it was for PC techs, you'd focus on getting into the PC and cracking open any modern tablet devices. If the thing was for electronics \, then you'd focus on fabrication and soldering tools.

What you get is a smattering of fabrication tools (tweezers, part pickers, soldering wick, etc...), another hand full of maintenance parts (light, screw drivers, bits/drivers, etc...), and no unifying logic that I can determine.


Between the odd assortment of tools, and varying quality levels on some components, I don't know who to recommend this to. If it's on sale, pick it up for the fabrication parts; if it's more than $30 just buy what you need.
