I like the way ifixit extender miss magnet (shrugs)
going from a cheap chinese screwdriver set to iFixit most basic tool kit was light and day. Cheap bits are really fragile and the smaller philips bits ended up rounded with normal use. iFixit bits are super durable and it has been the one screwdriver i use for everything since. I do keep the cheap one around since it has more bits variety than the kit i have and the screwdriver itself has a better grip for thighter screws
with this kit you can fux up your stuff instead of fixing it!
I have the exact same chinese kit. Event in the same colour. Been using it for camera repair for the past 9 years.
It also depends on who you want to spend your money on. Ifixit for right to repair, or some random business person that the money just goes in their pocket.
Screwdriver link is broken. Shame I was going to grab that.
0:43 Ok iFuxit but why does youtube closed caption know this word?
The problem with ifixit if I order it internationally they charge me 40$ !!!!!
Can you imagine that!!!
So I prefer the cheaper
I tried to buy but i will not accept to be charged 40$ for delivery
Anthony lookin clean with the short hair
iFixit vs iFuktit
Would have liked to see them actually try to use the tools to test them. How about showing that the suction cups are crap instead of just saying so.
I bought a kit from Temu and the bits were backwards compatible with iFixit’s. It actually has come in quite handy with some of the things I’ve fixed
Great video. I’m constantly working on expanding my kit with professional grade tools that are not cheap chinkware. I’ll be replacing my current set with iFixit!
The rubber and the metal will soon detach and when you try to unscrew you just rotate the rubber part without moving the metal part. Complete garbage
Are Jakemy and Jackly from same company ?
This is bullshit review. You didnt compare the quality of the screwdriver bits. The chinesum ones will tear apart after screwing one harder screw. The ifixit ones will last you years. And yes, before ifixit, I had numerous chinesium precision drivers kits. All of them ended after few uses in trash, cause both flat and philips bits got destroyed by two uses.
I still cant get over missing "uFoxit" as the name for the selfmade kit…. wonder how it holds up to the actual LTT precision screwdriver 👀
I miss Emily. Should show your self on videos again!
Well with the LTT screwdriver kit in mind Would the review be the same in 2023 ?
Imho i think ifixit are slightly overpriced, slighty better than cheap kits, all the pry tools are very overpriced and using a black lid to hold black screws is stupid. Also the bitset box is nasty. The bit selection is very good. 6-10
You say that iFixit kit can disassemble anything. But I didn’t see any tools that can unscrew the bolts holding together a floor mounted 19" rack or a Tesla car.
Anyways, being in Europe, I have used a lot of tools from hardware stores, including a screw kit that’s only slightly more upmarket than that Chinese kit, a professional bits kit using 1/4 " bits and matching handles (bought at an electronics parts store that’s like a 1980s Radio Shack), plus of cause regular screwdrivers, bits holders, wrenches and knives. Only in the past year or so have iFixit branded kits become available locally.
Yeah, a bunch of chinesium cheap tools see how long the iFuxit kit lasts, even the iFixit driver bits aren’t that good of a quality I can’t imagine how something from Aliexpress would fare in comparison.
The orange kit i bought it in Hobby Lobby for $8 lmao
But one of the main reasons I always suggest to buy from. I fix it is because they promote and they fight for your right to repair items and they’re one of the biggest people that do that out there. So that’s why I suggest purchasing it so the money can help them do that
Paid 15 bucks for a 150 kit. I ain’t spending 75 on ifixit
I love how they have a Gamers Nexus mod mat!
Linus can we please have a 2023 update on tool kits please.. can we get a low budget medium budget and the most expensive thanks
I just received my Ifixit Manta kit today. MADE IN CHINA.
Oh boy, I’m here 5 years later after just ordering the new LTT precision driver set. I remember watching this one!
I personally based my kit around an ifixit kit and then supplemented it with other tools from various brands
7:20 bro I’m a dentist I have those in every corner of my house lol
iFixit Kit vs LLT precision driver
I love I fix it
This was elucidating. I appreciate your candor. It seems the links are missing. Thanks for your time on this.
iFuxit💀
I can attest to the lifetime warranty. I broke the tips off of those those ESD safe tweezers, and they sent me 3 replacement sets of tips *and* a new pair of the same tweezers. All they wanted was proof that I actually had the kit (they just wanted a picture of the kit)
How does this compare with the strebito toolkit?
jakemy are best cheap tools
"The Chinese tools we shill vs other Chinese tools" Fixed the title.
I bought a $2 mini screwdriver set in Chinatown once, the bits STRIPPED off the screws on a smartwatch. I’ve just sanded them down and kept going lmao
my sad old man eyes thought Linus was wearing an inflatable lifejacket 😝
Jakemy also have a suction tool that is better than ifixits
4:54 its magnetic and recessed so when you’re starting a screw, it doesn’t fall out/off
I have a $10 set of precision bits from Ali, 2 years of daily work and still going strong
So weird to see Linus promoting someone else’s underwear looking back.
You didnt test the quality of the bits.
Can I use a security torx on a normal torx screw?
You had me at, ifuxit kit!
That AliExpress screwdriver kit sucks
Can anyone tell me where to find the mat they have on the table please?
