Tools for upgrading a Macbook Pro 13"

[Belm]

I know that all I need is a #00 Phillips and a T6 torx but I thought I'd save a couple bucks by buying this. It looks looks kind of cheap to me. Does anyone own it or have another set they'd recommend?

Should be fine... does it tell you exactly what the tools are that are included?
I doubt you will be using them on a daily basis, so if they do the job, why not?

* Includes tools necessary for most Macintosh/apple computer applications
* Made of high quality chrome Vanadium (CRV-6150) hardened steel
* Includes T6, T8, T10, T15, T20 Torx as well as a phillips screwdriver
* Works on many versions of macintosh laptops and desktops
* Made to last a lifetime

It's cheaper than buying them separate and I'll probably only ever use them once. I'm just worried about them being of cheap quality and stripping screws. They already have a bad review and that makes me leery. I'm a paranoid shopper 🙂. It seems like a nice deal though...

One review and it's a poor one. Not looking good.

Well, I will tell you, I had no problem finding kits with the 00 Phillips, but the T6 was a bit harder. I found nothing at Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc. I ended up buying a Kobalt kit at Lowes that had way more than I needed, but did have both the 00 Phillips and the T6 Torx. It wasn't cheap, but it worked flawlessly on my MBP.

When I went to college last year I bought a whole toolset to use for various things it had a knife, sissors, a magnetic screwdriver with 24 bit heads, etc for $20. Best $20 I ever spent.

It had everything I needed to remove the display assemibly from macbook and put it back together.

I found these Husky screwdrivers at Home Depot that come with changeable heads that store themselves in the barrel of the screwdriver. They're like $5, I bought a Phillips and a Torx version, and they come with a good amount of heads.

Good quality.

I have a few tools but I love this stupid $8.00 stanley precision screwdriver set. That f'er has come in handy at least once a month since I've moved into my place.
