- Case is sturdy, well constructed
- Great tool and bit selection for the price
- Love the mini-hammer; has a dampening rubber foot on the head.
- If you've got a little plastic goodies-holder for your screws and things and it's small enough it can fit comfortably underneath the hammer and the flashlight
- Nice price for what you get.
- Precision screwdrivers: There's an extra-small slotted head, but no extra-small phillips head to match it.
- Soldering Iron is a little on the cheapo side, obviously: Mine was sparking and smoking in a bad way on first use.
- Flashlight is terrible. It's a screw-on-cap activated light that has no limiters on the screw-on-cap, so you can over-screw the head and pop out the lens easily during use. Annoying. Doesn't seem to want to stay on when turned to the "on" position.
- Wire stripper only goes to 0.75. - can't strip fan connector wiring with the stripper because of it.
- Feels like I'm going to snap the brush in half every time I try to take it out of its slot - which arguably, isn't very often.
- Very little clearance on the case, so you're not jamming too much else in there other than what it came with.
This case is pretty much what you expect it to be: The cons are mostly associated with buying a 250-piece computer repair kit on the cheap: You don't expect these things to work at professional level or quality, but it sucks when they break out of the box or are poorly planned.
But, for the computer enthusiast, you can't really go wrong here. 4/5 - -1 because of the broken iron, crummy flashlight and lack of small precision 'drivers.
- Cheap
- Covers to majority of my use cases.
- Anti-static wrist band is nice.
- I've made use of the IC puller many times for pulling SOIC-8 BIOS flash chips.
- I've gotten a cheaper pair of the same wire strippers from another company , the one included was slightly thicker and doesn't bend as easily.
- Case is made of durable plastic.
- Cheap (double-edged sword)
- Came with a soldering iron that was recalled with listed UL Number , the red plastic handle melted the first time I plugged it in.
- A tiny, lightweight, hammer that isn't good for much of anything, let alone driving a nail.
- IC puller is flimsy and you will drop whatever IC you're pulling. I've had to flip my computer case to find what I dropped.
- Plastic case can be difficult to open and close in a hurry as some tools dislodge, requiring finesse to close properly.
- I wouldn't recommend this to anyone due to the dangerous soldering iron alone.
- If you're handy but broke, it makes a good start but expect to slowly replace everything with better tools.
- I'd never buy it again nor gift it.
