If you're looking for a deal don't buy that whole big set buy what you need.

 There's so many knock-offs for quarter of that price.

Most phone replacement screens come with a whole variety of such tools.

I bought a two cheap set. The screwdrivers weren't machined well as you can see here

That's supposed to be a star shape
I needed a T4 screw to come out and I literally had it put my whole body weight on it to get the screws to turn.

I decided to not risk breaking the phone I was fixing and bought a brand name screwdriver (this https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-8-in-1-Precision-Torx-Screwdriver-Set-70381H/302735271). It worked perfectly.

You can also use it to get into his phone. You know, that phone that was just opened that has stress marks from too much pushing on the screws...

Lol.

 But it did general rule of the thumb when it comes to tools that are precise the more you spend the better they are.

  But then again you don't have to spend $80 on a tool that should cost $30.

As of now I have yet to find a good quality one for cheaper, if someone does that would be great! (I've had bad experiences with cheap ones, good quality is especially important for a precision set)

That looks great, but I'm looking for a set that I won't have to worry about having the right bit when I need it.

Seems like my best bet is to get this, and get any other part separately.
Perhaps it's worth waiting for prime day for it to go on sale.

I got this on sale for $138 https://www.amazon.com/Wiha-92191-Precision-Screwdrivers-Storage/dp/B0098RB3SY

I'm using it everyday for work, and the lifetime warranty is actually real.

Do you change phone screens for a living? Because I know someone who needs it done today...

No, I'm doing data recovery.

Is there a reason why that one is so expensive and has poor reviews (compared to the iFixit one)?
