About this deal

The screwdriver bits are made of hardwearing alloy S2 steel with a heat-treated nickel-plated driver, providing maximum quality and durability. We’ll be posting one a day leading up to the launch of the Manta Driver Kit and Mahi Driver Kit on Tuesday, April 24. Back in 2010, we couldn’t find a single reputable supplier that sold the screwdrivers Apple technicians used. FIXITOK Screwdriver Set is a versatile tool kit that includes 18 pieces of screwdrivers and tweezers, which are perfect for tightening or loosening tiny screws on various devices.

In response, inexpensive pentalobe screwdrivers, manufactured by third parties, have become relatively easy to obtain. The pentalobe is a five-pointed, flower-shaped screw—and it’s famous for being Apple’s tiny security screw of choice. Apple would never use a real Torx security screw with a post for two reasons: they’re ugly, and the posts break off easily with screw heads this small. A compatible Tri-Wing bit is included in our toolkits, so you don’t need to worry about this if you have the latest MacBook Pro. We’re quick to adapt, and the rest of our teardown team got their hands on one of these early units.The screwdriver is made of industrial quality chrome vanadium steel, PP handle, non-slip durable, scratch-resistant, and has a long life.

The last five versions of the 13-inch MacBook Air (late-2010, mid-2011, mid-2012, mid-2013 and early-2014) use eight 2. Most other security screwdrivers will strip the miniature heads, effectively locking the user out of their device.

Much to the dismay of thousands of Japanese with similar intentions, my mission was thwarted: FedEx delivered hundreds of iPhone 4 boxes in California two days early.

It’s certainly better than what I came up with, which was “Evil Proprietary Tamper Proof Five Point Screw.The set is specially selected to meet all your repair needs, including battery change, SSD cleaning, and upgrading LCD assembly, etc. Pentalobe screws were adopted by Apple starting in 2009, when they were first implemented in the 15-inch MacBook Pro. It is possible that ambiguous "TS" nomenclature is the same as the "PL" designation when referring to Pentalobe screws. There are dozens of different kinds of security screws, but the pentalobe is perhaps the most famous of them all. Huawei used pentalobe screws for the Huawei P9, a decision criticised by Kyle Wiens writing for Wired, because using pentalobe screws instead of standard screws like Torx makes electronics more difficult to repair.

The set comes with a 600D Oxford cloth bag packaging, which is convenient for storage and intimate protection. And back when it first started popping up, the pentalobe was pretty good at locking down Apple devices. I spent over an hour trying to remove them with security Torx, and security hexed bits, working blind, as I could not even get a proper mirror into to see the nut head.

This screw is the primary reason the 11″ MacBook Air earned a lousy repairability score of 4 out of 10 in our teardown last October. The oGoDeal Pentalobe Screwdriver Set is designed for repairing Apple products with 5-star shaped security screws. The pentalobe security screw [1] (Apple nomenclature), or pentalobe screw drive, is a five-pointed tamper-resistant system used by, but not limited to, Apple in their products. JAKEMY Screwdriver Set is a professional repair tool kit designed for various electronic devices, such as mobile phones, laptops, cameras, and eyeglasses.
