banditosway's Full Review: Farberware 6 Piece, Precision Screwdriver Set, Con...
As a non-mechanical person I seem to have this strange fetish for tools. Maybe its a gene I inherited from my father who spent a lifetime as a "tinknocker" (sheet metal) or maybe its just because I'm a guy, but I can spend hours in Sears or Home Depot in the tool section and there's not a job around the house that I start that doesn't involve me, at some point, heading down to the local hardware department.
The only problem is that I'm a computer guy and am not very good around the house. But so be it.
One a recent pass through Home Depot to pick up some wood cleaner, I spotted a set of Stanley Precision screwdrivers in a nice little carry case. I did know that I had planned on upgrading the hard drive of my Macbook Pro soon and would need some small philips screwdrivers. I already had a T6 Torx at home and this would give me what I needed to tackle the job.
In upgrading the hard drive of a Macbook Pro, there are approximately 27 tiny screws to disassemble in order to unfasten the case, remove the keyboard and get to the hard drive itself. The #0 Philips screwdriver fit perfectly and was a pleasure to use. The wide grip near the base of the screwdrivers felt comfortable in my hand while allowing me to quickly and easily spin the screws loose.
The job was complete in about 25 minutes. It could have been quicker, but this was my first Macbook Pro disassembly and I wanted to follow my instructions carefully.
I'm not sure when I'll need thse small screwdrivers again, but one thing is for sure, they're already tucked into my computer repair toolbox that I take with me on computer repair jobs.
