   I've used this product for several years, and it's fine for times when your pocket knife or fingernail isn't appropriate. However, most small screws are set tight enough that trying to loosen them with this set will disappoint. I snapped BOTH edges off of the larger screw bit on tough screws. Now that piece is only good as a flat phillips bit!! The pivot head on the knurled base/handle is fine - again for LIGHT work - but lacks any means of getting a firm grip on the screwdriver. I've actually had to clamp a pair of Vise Grips on the handle, in order to get enough grip on a tough, tiny screw!

   A friend on mine has a set of these in his workbench. They are descent quality and are fine for items like glasses or small appliances

   I have some electronic equipment I was trying to disassemble, and I was disappointed that the phillips heads were not "precise" enough. The set should be adequate for most purposes, but if you are looking for very small phillips heads, they aren't here. But to be fair, I don't think other offerings are any better.

   The Craftsman small screwdriver set is for everyone. It is handy and comes in a convenient little case. It uses are endless and for the price I think it should be a staple of any man's tool set.From watches and glasses to those small screws on computers there is a screwdriver in this set that will fit. It is reasonably priced and remarkably convenient. I highly recommend making this a part of everyone's household.

   You may not need these types of screwdrivers often, but when you do need them, nothing else will do. They're great for tightening eyeglass screws or opening up the cases of small electronic devices. This is a nice set. It comes with 4 slotted and 2 philips style in a variety of sizes. They seem to be well made and I suspect that they last a long time. The swivel heads allow you to put downward pressure on the screwdriver as you turn it to minimize the risk of stripping the head on delicate small screws. The case has a labeled space for each screwdriver. It's your typical plastic case with a snap top and should hold up as long as you don't step on it or drop something on it. This set is a nice value for the price.
