If you are a person who loves to DIY, most of the time you would prefer your devices to be repairable and upgradeable. However due to most of the manufacturer hardware designs, most of them are hardly repairable due to the complexity of the hardware and not to mention the implementation of specially designed screw bits.
So if you really want to get into your devices, you probably want to get your hands on one of these multi screw bits screwdriver set. Today here we have one from XiaoMi, the Mi x Wiha screwdriver set.
Some of you out there may recognize the brand Wiha. It is one of the most reputable hand tools manufacturer from Germany. So when Mi collaborate with them to create a screwdriver set. I get quite excited to check them out.
(Warranty notice for screwdriver set? That's rather interesting)
The Mi x Wiha screwdriver casing is really well made from a solid aluminum piece of metal which have the similar design to the XiaoMi 1st generation power bank, and the best part of it, it is in "space grey" color. This kind of design is not really usual for tools like this.
The tray that holds the screw bits and the pen is made of plastic. To get the tray out, you just need to press the tray from the top and it will pop right out. The tray is magnetic too, so as you slide the bits back to it's location, it will snap right in to place.
As you may suspect, the pen is magnetic as well, it hold the screw bits very well and there are no loose fit.
The top of the screwdriver have a rotating top, screwing with a finger held on top is very comfortable and natural. The rotation of the top is very smooth to use.
Overall the screwdriver set does the job right. However I realized some of the common device screw bits are not present in the set. Screw bits like the Y0 and Y00 is not included in the set and they are quite common in Apple devices, which is quite unfortunate.
I personally have not tried attaching Wiha official screw bits to this screwdriver pen but I do suspect they should work well here. The screwdriver casing may look really classy now but personally I find it rather unnecessary, after all it is still a tool. As long it works well and able to take a good beating out of it, it will be a good buy.
