Top computer tools...iFixit 64 bit driver kit is superb quality


I recently purchased an iFixit 64 bit driver kit and I have to say that the build quality is absolutely superb.

NB I have no connection with the company whatsoever. I am just one very happy customer.

I researched the market closely and soon discovered that the quality of screwdrivers and kits on ebay and elsewhere was generally very poor and a total waste of money.

Here is the link to the kit on iFixit:
https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Parts/6...it/IF145-299-1

I purchased my kit in the UK from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/iFixit-64-B...ds=ifixit+tool

iFixit's Home page:
https://www.ifixit.com/

iFixit also does a whole range of excellent Repair Guides for laptops, Macs, tablets, PCs etc:
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide

The above guides are first class and they came in very handy when I stripped down a friend's Macbook Air which had suffered liquid damage.

The Pentalobe P5 and Torx T5 bits had the Mac's SSD out within a couple of minutes.

And people say 64-bit drivers aren't needed in Linux ...

That's why I looked ...
As it happens, I recently needed a T5 and had trouble finding one quickly. Wish you had posted a couple of months back.
