I couldn't find any review that said this, so I'll say it: anyone that's interested in taking apart old hard drives for the magnets/curiosity or whatnot will really appreciate these. They will work perfectly on the screws used on hdd enclosures and the smaller torx screws used inside to keep the small components (and platters) together.

The coloured bits at the top of the screwdrivers are not attached to the body, merely molded around the top, meaning you can hold the colured bit and turn the body with your fingers to make removing screws very easy. Well worth getting. After 15 drives completely disassembled the heads of the screwdrivers aren't looking deformed either.

If you feel a burning need to go rummaging around inside your out-of-warranty Xbox 360 (or your in-warranty one for that matter if you're going to be all cavalier about it not remaining that way) for whatever reason, this is a cheap and effective kit to make your desires a reality.

I noticed other Torx sets were thin on mentioning this in their blurbs and some other reviewers have had problems or bad experiences with some of the other kits out there.

Rest assured this one works.

In this video review, you'll see the size, design, and durability features of this product ( LINDY Computer Technician Precision Torx Set ).

It has been used a few times and held up very well with no tip distortion.

The last use was for a Macbook Pro SSD upgrade that was completed successfully with the help of this product, but please note that to actually gain access to the inside of the Macbook Pro, you'll need these: LINDY Computer Technician Precision Screwdriver Set, and then the Torx set to actually remove the HDD/SSD.

The screwdriver set came well-packaged, it also included a nice plastic case where each screwdriver stays put until you need it.

For an affordable price, you can't go wrong. This included Torx T6, T7, T8, T9 and T10 with 20mm-long bits.

I recommend this product based on its quality and price.

It's worth noting that this is NOT Torx Security (with a hole in the middle of the bit), this is Torx only, therefore it won't go inside Torx Security screws (that have a pin in the middle where the hole in the bit slots in), as an example the XBOX 360 controllers use Torx Security screws therefore this set won't work if you want to use it to open the XBOX 360 controller.

The product is great, don't get me wrong, but I was looking for a set that would be small enough to use on Hard Drive screws. What I need, it seems, is a T5 size. Annoying, but it's my own fault for not researching properly. I just thought I post this as a warning to anyone like me who sees "computer technician set" and assumes it'll be really small drivers.

Bought these to install a bigger hard drive in a Macbook pro, they feel very good quality, did the job asked of them and will come in handy for other jobs.

These are amazingly high quality for the price. Exactly what I needed to replace my laptop hard drive. Great product

I had a set of Lindy screwdrivers for computer work so when it came to getting a set of Torx's drivers I opted for the same make. They seem very well made and work very well. What more can I say?

I originally bought these to open up my XBOX 360 console when I needed to clear up the dust from it, and it's a fantastic set of screwdrivers. From what I've seen, torx screwdrivers are notorious for breaking after just a few uses due to using metal that's too soft, but these have opened up hundreds of screws since and they still work perfectly. Very high quality, and the case to keep them in is rather handy (I quite often 'misplace' tool - this makes it far harder to do). If you're looking for a cheap set of torx screwdrivers, you won't go far wrong with these.

Nice and cheap, look like they'll last a lifetime, I may never use them again (got them to get a PCB out of a hard drive) so why waste money on an expensive set?

Needed to take the motherboard out of the Xbox 360 These have all the sizes you need for workong on the xbox 360
