i-RuiQi micro-screwdriver set (Top Quality!)
The i-RuiQi screwdriver set I received surprised me because it contained a much higher quality, precision formed, set of interchangeable drivers than I ever expected, especially for that price!Please note that I included several close-up, macro shots, of these driver bits to help you see and understand the level of quality in this set.The i-RuiQi screwdriver set has 48 driver tips neatly stored in each row. Each row includes six driver bits and one of seven hex head sockets ranging from 2.5 to 5.5. The row of Philips drivers, however, includes one 2.0 ‘Philips socket’ that I can only describe as an “inverted Phillips head driver”.In 25+ years as a machinist, I’ve seen hundreds of different style fasteners from standard straight-blade screws to box-head bolts and a huge variation of each. However, I don’t ever recall ever seeing a screw or bolt fastener that required a ‘Philips Head’ socket.That certainly doesn’t mean there isn’t one, and if you suddenly find you need it, well, there it is!I looked at each driver bit with a high-powered magnifier and compared them to several small screwdriver sets I already have. The i-RuiQi driver set was superior in every way to all of the sets I owned.Under the magnifier, (please see macro shots), I couldn’t find any burrs or flashing from a molding process. Each bit appears very cleanly made and I found no flaws. The ad gives a rundown of the driver bits styles & sizes in the set so I’ll leave that info out of this review.I will say that you can rest assured that the sizes cover many of the micro-screws & bolts that I’ve ever had experience with.In addition to the 48 driver bits and 8 sockets, the set includes a very well made, 5” long flex-drive extension, (for getting around parts that may be blocking you from a more direct approach), and a 2” straight extension.The i-RuiQi screwdriver handle (as well as all the extensions), has a magnetic insert in the end of the receiving socket (and the handle’s collet), which helps to pull the bit into place.The shank of each bit and the extensions is a 5/32” (3.95mm), hexagon. The handle has a collapsing collet, which tightens down on the hex shank as you turn the ‘chuck-like’ tip of the handle clockwise.The handle also has an 11/64” hole in it that could be for a strap to hang it on a tool peg. i-RuiQi thought of everything when they created this set!They added a 2” long ‘torque driver’, meant to ‘crack-loose’ stubborn, overtightened, fasteners. The torque driver can accept all the same bits and extensions the driver handle can.However, the torque-driver’s shank must be turned with a wrench or ¼” socket driver; it will not fit in the driver handle’s collet. In this way, it keeps you from possibly placing too much torque on the driver handle’s collet system, which certainly can be damaged with that much force.I can say that this set is appropriate and even a ‘must-have’ if you plan to work on your DSLR, eyeglasses, tablet, etc. You can bet that it’s just as useful for cell phone and watch repairs. I build my own desktop computers and I think most of these drivers are too small for that application. That’s how small they are! (Please see scale comparison pics).i-RuiQi’s choice of steel (S2), is certainly not the least expensive selection for making this kind of tool. A 1050 carbon steel is a very inexpensive material with relatively low heat treat temperature requirements.Some of you may have experienced the level of quality in a 1050 carbon steel tool, if you have ever bought a set pliers and/or standard size screwdrivers at your local Dollar or Grocery store.Even I was forced to buy a small, 3/8 drive socket set from a grocery store make a repair on my car while I was out of town. Yes, the socket set lasted just long enough for me to get the job done before the ratchet’s gears stripped and the ½” socket cracked. That’s 1050 carbon steel.It’s significantly less durable than S2 and the fact that i-RuiQi selected a more expensive steel for their set of drivers, strongly indicates to me, that i-RuiQi’s primary goal was to make a durable, long lasting, quality, micro-driver set.I think this also means that they intend to be around for a long time and if they continue to maintain quality as their primary goal, I believe they will be.In my search on line, I didn’t find any other micro screwdriver sets that offered such a wide range of driver and size selection and included some very USEFUL accessories, (instead of a lot of useless ‘bells & whistles’).All too often, these kits provide one or two sizes that you can use and the rest are for applications in places and/or countries that you’ll likely never, ever find yourself.I included a few pictures of some highlights in this set. I don’t often write reviews on the products I buy and I include pictures with those reviews that I do write, even less.The quality of i-RuiQi’s driver set is much higher than the price would suggest. Of course, I strongly recommend it to anyone dealing with the tiniest of screws, nuts, and bolts! Don’t hesitate, you found what you were looking for!Rich

You don't think you need this... but you do.
I purchased this thinking that I'd probably use it every once in awhile (maybe every other month at best), but lo and behold. I've already used it 7 times in the short time span that I've had this. I never realised how much I've needed this in my life until I got it.I've already fixed a couple of glasses for some elderly folks at work (and my own!), taken apart a laptop and reassembled it with new parts, used it on my desktop computer (and built one for my parents while I was at it) for the same reasons, and used it for other small things. This thing has seen a lot of use and it still looks brand spankin' new. I'm amazed at how well it has held up and the quality is there. It is resilient and versatile, and the flexible extension is very much appreciated for those hard to reach places.The case itself is really 'innovative' as well, in that there is a small button that you push in order to make the screw heads 'stand-up'. I didn't realise it at first and wasn't happy with trying to fish the screw heads out until I smartened up and realised the button was there to push. I mean, it does say "PUSH" but I was silly and completely ignored it.The only problem I have, but don't know if this is normal, is with how greasy the screw heads are. I'm not sure if all tool kits come like this to maintain quality (I don't purchase tools often), but it was pretty greasy and my dog's hair ended up getting stuck on them.If you think you don't need this, think again. You're going to need it eventually and it's amazing to have for a rainy day. It's priced really well, is made of quality material, and comes with all sorts of screw heads (good for phones, computers, eyeglasses, you name it). You can't go wrong with this toolkit set.

A screwdriver with all the amenities
As an electrical/computer engineer, I wanted a cheap yet versatile screwdriver set that would open pretty much anything I needed to take apart. I was not disappointed with this product. The bits seem to be of high quality and the ergonomics of the case suggest quite a bit of thought was put into it. For the price, I doubt you could find any better.I do have two slight critiques though (though none that warrant a downgrade in stars, as I realize I only spent $15 on it):a) First, while the bits fit snugly in the included driver, both 'extension rod' and the 'flexible shaft' seem to fit a bit loosely into the driver. This makes it a little wobbly/clumsy to use and at times I feel compelled to hold my finger on it because it can feel like the only reason it stays inserted is due to the magnetism of the driver.Fortunately, neither of those attachments are necessary to use unless you're accessing something in a hard-to-reach place. It is slightly annoying though because in order to store the driver, you have to insert the extension rod, so when you take it out of the case, it's attached by default and you have to remove it every time.b) Because of (a), you're (or at least I am) liable to want to use just the driver and bit without any extensions. When the description says the driver is light-weight, they're not kidding. The driver feels almost awkwardly light by itself. I suppose it's a matter of taste, and it doesn't affect functionality, but I'm pretty sure the bits actually weigh more than the driver (which is saying something because the bits aren't standard size).I'm sure I'd get used to it if I invested myself in it. In the end though, I'm probably going to end up using a different driver with the included driver adapter (because the set is badass enough to include one of those).

Decent
Arrived on schedule. All parts there. Thin film wrap on front I guess to give appearance of new product. Debatable whether it’s new but looks new.Outside packing taped with electrical tape. I think a ten year old must have packaged the product. I guess for the price it’s doable.

Great set!
The only negative is that the plastic case does hold the bits as well as I would like so do get loose bits. But love the set anyway!
