I wouldn't recommend buying a cheap tool set to work on electronics, at best it will slow you down, at worst you could damage parts/components.
iFixit has a great, affordable and quality kit I would recommend (That this set is so desperately trying to copy) and a user below recommend the brands Wiha and Nanch, both make great tools as well.
Unless you only want to take a retired electronic device apart to see how it works inside, and not worry about whether it works if you put it back together, don't cheap out on tools.

dead_pixel_designAnd how do we know that iFixit doesn't just buy the same OEM items as in this kit? I mean my iFixit 54-bit set has the same handle as posted below by Epic_Enkidu, and all 3 use the same plastic case, just different inserts. The only real big difference between my 54-bit set and this one in the drop(other than the number of bits) is the handle, and plastic insert that holds everything. Edit: That last statement referring of course only to that held within the plastic case, as I didn't buy a larger iFixit set that has anything extra, just the cheap old 54-bit set.
dead_pixel_designFunny that you mention iFixit and that @MooTaters responded as so....
These come from the same factory and are built to the same quality spec as the iFixit kits. This factory where these are coming from has been the OEM for many iFixit products.
Cheers.
Tex-ArozziSame factory, lower grade materials. I’m sure they use the same machines to make them, and the same lasers to measure them during QC but they are not the same, as much as this brand is trying to emulate the design of the iFixit kit to cash in on their success I did my homework when I picked up my kit. All products made in one factory are not created equal.
MooTatersiFixit has their tools made specifically for them by their factory, with higher quality materials. I have their kit amd I can tell you ever piece shown in the picture is different between the two sets. But where it counts is the quality of materials used, not where they are made.

dead_pixel_designI bought this kit on Amazon, and have used it many times with zero issues including building the computer I'm currently typing on.

dead_pixel_designI'm really wondering if it's worth buying this item over products such as iFixit, Wiha and Nanch. The price is comparable if product guarantee is taken into account. In your opinion you mention these would be better items could you tell me more please
JR81What is your use case? Is it just a casual thing that might come in handy sometimes? Or is it something you need to be a reliable kit you are going to use often?

dead_pixel_designits something that i would need to use often and it would need to suit small electronics and computer components, i have been told ifixit tools are really worth getting and Wiha tools are also very reputable as well. I don't mind spending a bit more on tools as long as they are durable enough for the job at hand.
JR81Then I definitely recommend not buying cheap tools like these.

JR81Wiha is a german company, I am a professional electrician and I try to get all my tools from Wiha and Knipex. German steel is just superior to any other tools I have ever used, and the pricing on German tools is now a bargain, they used to be far more expensive than they are now.

Glen8Its worth spending 3-5x more and getting a good one like the German ones, than to use this and have the bits and the screw heads destroyed
