    Wouldn't it depend on the intended use?

  • It screws, and it drives.

    Depends what you want to use it for.

    Looks like a cheap version of the Xiaomi to me.

    • The Xiaomi one has done well for me. I'm not sure what metal they use or if they've hardened it, but the tips of the screwdrivers don't look like they're going to "round off" any time soon. If the set you're looking at is indeed a cheap copy, then they probably have cheaped out on the metal. It'll be hard to tell the difference until you use it.

      I have put some heat shrinky on the handle to give it a bit of grip.

      • You and few others on this page have actually used something like this. Others are just passing time.

        • One set is showing as USD7.91; the other USD6.23 - USD9.64. Either way, not a large investment.
          You don't seem to have shared what you intend to use the set for, so even the experiences of bobbified may be irrelevant to your future experience.

          To me, it is more like you are just passing time.

          • @GG57: Nothing decided for now. It is just that I like to have the bits for all types of devices I come across. Last week I had to open a xiaomi zigbee hub.

            TBH, it is you who is passing time makes weird comments on others posts. Screwdrivers sets are for opening things. These smaller sets are for opening smaller sets.

  • For the price of the Xiaomi wiha collaboration set, I doubt you'll find much that compares.

    I've tried countless cheap sets, and almost all seem to be made out a soft metal that strips really quick. I've had the wiha set for about 19 months I think, use it quite often, and the tips barely look used - even the largest Phillips head, which I misuse out of laziness.

    Can't fault the set
