Wiha all the way. I use the PH000 all the time for computer work, the tip is as good as new still.

Wiha. If you do go wiha spring the extra for the pico finish. I have both and both are great but the pico versions are easier to use

Thanks to this post I JUST NOW ordered a set of the metric and inch hex (allen) driver sets.

It was the only two sets of the Wiha micro tools I didn't have.

They sure are cute in their little green pouches.

DARN YOU GJ, for feeding into my addition.

I use bit drivers instead of the above screwdriver sets. This set in particular. I recently got some ifixit sets (I had given away my last one) and been trying to use it as much as I can recently. For the money, especially the BF sale price but really even the regular price, you get what you pay for with them just like you get what you pay for with that wiha set I linked. They are both very good sets.

HF has several precision bit driver sets like this are very good for the money. I have a mix of all the bits from my ~8 precision sets that I go through for the common sizes. You can definitely put more torque on nicer bits, but if you have a small ratchet or an adapter for this size, you have the ability to use even crappy bits without worrying about breaking often.

Don't they mostly have specialty (security) screws. It's like that with most electronics (even some of the old stuff). I just buy the bits for those applications and use a decent bit driver. Just kidding, I use a crappy bit driver I picked up from hodot for something like 50 cents on clearance.:lol:

But in reference to your question, I've never seen a philips head go that low but to tell you the truth I just eyeball those smaller sizes anyway. If it fits and turns it's good.:lol_hitti Might strip the head though.

Can't vouch for quality - because I haven't used it yet, but I recently got a very well designed 26 bit set from IFIXIT. They seem to specialize in tools to repair Apple products.

PH000 - PH2 included

They lurk on here and are VERY responsive. So far, very good people to deal with.

do any tool manufactures like wiha, wera, felo etc make the pentelobe screwdrivers like used on the iphones?

The previously mentioned ifixit offers three Pentalobe screwdrivers. The Pro/USA version is made by Moody. I'm not sure who makes the Ifixit version.

Wiha is supposedly going to start offering the Pentalobe screwdrivers as well. I'm not sure that they're in stores yet though.

I didn't really take the time too look at their site, it seems they do have a wide selection of tools, as for wiha producing them il look forward to that. however my Chinese ones seem to be holding up fine as these screws are never torqued particularly high. but would be cool to get a set of well made German precision screwdrivers with a pentalobe version aswell

PB Swiss without a doubt!

I know a lot of folks rate the Wiha highly, and that's only fair as they are fairly good, but I have both Wiha and PB Swiss and the latter are much higher quality!
