Initially I needed the T-5 torx bit, but I use this set more and more lately.
The driver part has a metal shaft and a plastic/rubber handle with a swivel top. It is more stiff than I thought, and while not a professional product, I doubt this will break anytime soon. The bits are not standard 5mm bits but a reduced 4mm size, so they are not interchangeable with most drivers.

There is a huge variety of bits and they are all magnetical. The case is very durable along with the screwdriver that comes with it. The problem is that the bit tips are very weak and bend REALLY easy. I understand that you should be gentle while using small bits like this, but these tips just hardly have the strength to take out commercial screws and they bend way to easily. They should have coated the tips in something stronger. I probably wouldn’t recommend these to a friend.

I wanted to open up my iPaq handheld device, to repair its speaker. To do so I needed two very small (T5 & T6) torx heads. I have several sets of small screwdrivers, that I have used over the years for many small jobs, but none had a T5 head. So, after looking at various sets on the Internet, I bought this one. I am glad that I did. The case is about 7 inches long, sturdy, with a nice sliding lock. The locks on my other small sets are overlapping bits of plastic that either got so loose that they’re useless, or were so tight that when you tried to open the box you had to exert quite a bit of force — sometimes the darn thing opened so suddenly that the drivers came out. In this case, you slide the lock, and open the box. Simple. The handle and the bits are well-secured in snap-in holders. These work fine but, I suspect, might loosen (or break) with time. We’ll see. The red/black part of the handle (see item photo) is about 3.75 inches long — long enough that (at least in my hand) the top part of the handle sits comfortably in my palm, while my fingers grip further down. You don’t feel like you’re holding a teeny-weeny tool – it feels quite robust. The top part of the handle rotates, and the lower part (where your fingers grip) is rubberized; these two features make it very easy to control the driver when you are working. The metal part of the handle is magnetized. This not only means that a bit stays put in the handle, it also means that a screw “magnetically attaches” to the tip of the bit. This makes removing & re-inserting these tiny screws so much easier. I used the tool to open up, and re-close, my iPaq – it worked like a charm. My only regret is using those other sets of small drivers for so long. Never again. They’re going into the trash. This is a 5 star tool.

more useful than I thought it would be,

My set has:
torx 20, 15,10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3
hex (allen) 4mm, 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1.3, 0.9, 0.7mm
flat screwdriver 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1.0
PZ1, PZ0
Philips screwdriver PH1, 0, 00, 000
and the driver.
