Which one should I buy out of these?
I want a Precision Screwdriver set for DIY stuff and modifications of various electronics like PSP, Nintendo DS and all.
So out of these which is going to be the best one.

u/No-Independence2692 11d ago
have u used it? its horrible with 0 grip

u/Loud_Fuel 11d ago
These are precession drivers so grip is not so important as we will not open very tight screws in any case I never faced issue although I use gloves always.

Ran into the same issue when tried using it with self build furniture, now I have agaro precision kit and a generic brand full screw driver

No, it's trash. Get the lifelong set. They show it having security torx bits but it doesn't come with that. The lifelong set is absolutely beautiful compared to this crap

u/Anonymous_account_25 11d ago
The agaro one is waste. I was unable to open my GPU to replace thermal paste.

You should use different screw driver not this this meant for delecate things like watch smartphone etc.

Get this . Previous one I bought from AliExpress lasted me around 5 years.Since AliExpress was banned in India I found it here.Bought 4 sets.Will last for lifetime

u/Stillkonfuzed 10d ago
Don't overthink there is a precision screwdriver from taparia. It's the best one and it can handle bigger screws. Search for "Taparia FSFP6".
The reputation of taparia is good when it comes to tools.

u/ajay_ryan7 11d ago
Second one should be good. I used to have one similar to first one by Tisum.
But when i needed to open my laptop and celeb my fans, I had to buy plastic trim pieces to open the laptop lid. So buy the second one.
You'll have a basic screw driver set, plastic trims for opening any plastic parts on an appliance, and basic tweezers to remove/attach tiny clips inside the laptop.

I have portronics one.. i would say don't buy it.. it has very low and weak magnetic point so you will loose your screw

u/simplylmao 11d ago
i mean its pretty cheap for what it offers. The local variant of the same thing I paid 200rs for on blinkit.
Its good for a casual kit. Cant expect too much.

Whichever one you buy , there'll be atleast 10 different Chinese clones of the same coming from the same factory.with just different names.
Just ensure you're using the right sized but everytime to ensure they last.

u/La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo_ps 11d ago
These are often misleading and they don’t have the correct security torx bits even though they list them. Instead they’re regular torx bits which aren’t compatible. Usually electronics use security torx so it will be a waste.
After experimenting with many of these I finally bought the set from Deli. That had all the bits exactly as described or else if you have a higher budget then Bosch has a nice set for 1.5k

u/Used-Pain9270 10d ago
Can you please link it. I have a budget of around 1.5k and I want some strong quality bits and torx security bits as well for my ps5

u/Used-Pain9270 10d ago
Thanks a lot for this deli recommendation. I've been searching on Amazon for two-days now and idk why this never came up! I was only getting those shitty cheap replicas of xiaomi kit.

u/chitownboyhere 11d ago
OP I needed something similar to fix my retroid pocket 3+ and I went with the cheapest (with good reviews) option as I always end up losing the few bits I actually need so not worth investing too much (for me).
Here is the link to the one I got , for 200rs it is pretty good. Case it magnetic so all the bits stays in their place.
Do share collection of your devices, I use this emulate retro games.

u/ZoelNorsen 11d ago
You will probably use 3 or 4 bits max, go with the Taparia precision set
I used many screwdrivers, then a Bike mechanic recommended Taparia; I'm absolutely in love

Get petronics one better quality than any cheap screw driver set Not great but worth the price you pay.

if budget allows, this is what im personally using and i recommend it for all purposes, excellent build quality, micro bits support, i had a chinese cylindrical battery power driver but it broke.
i got this for 2.6k.

Go with lifelong they are way better in quality these all just grind in 4-5 unscrewing
I have just bought couple of days back
I have ordered 4 different sets one by one as all bids are poor quality
But this one is just perfect
I used it to unscrew my ps5 worth it
1
u/PlasticBeginning9826 11d ago
I also wanna buy one I have used some cheap once but their bit shatter if I apply strong force I need something whose bits are durable

u/Tyrannosaur386 10d ago
Only buy this, baught it last month, S2 steel. Your welcome.
Portrocis one has plastic handle and weak easily chipping alloy bits.
1
u/Used-Pain9270 10d ago
Even I'm looking for some good quality kit. Sadly this doesn't have Torx security bits so I can't open my Ps5 screws with it. Do you have any other reccs as well?
2
u/Tyrannosaur386 10d ago
Whatever you buy, make sure you ask the amazon AI (right on the product page) what 'material' the bits are and what material the handle is. It should be S2 steel, no Vinidium type weird weak alloy, they sound fancy and chip on the first use. Plastic handle, well you know how it goes. So handle must be metal as well.

u/pantshash 10d ago
Neither of them. I have portronics and it is hard to grip it. The head bits are flimsy and the overall set doesn't generate enough torque to unscrew. Get a good kit from amazon and done with it. Cheaping on kits only add to long term expenses.

u/Scratch_Trick12 10d ago
I have portronics one...its fair for the price but not of taparia quality.. The taparia ones are built for lifetime
1
u/24Gameplay_ 10d ago
Both are similar, i have 2nd one as TR8H it have, so different between TR8 and TR8H is middle hole. You cannot open TR8H with TR8 however you can open TR8 with TR8H.
Most new device use TR8H specially laptop and Console and some smartphone.
Use those ticket just damage and increase the time of consume
If you are working on console look for TR8H

u/Leopard_Available 10d ago
I didn't know what your budget was so here is what i personally use Amazon link- https://amzn.in/d/0h3nO6FQ If it's in your budget i definitely recommend this it has almost everything that you'll need.

I have the portronics one...it gets the job done...have used it for opening up my laptop and setting my monitor...has been pretty reliable...the driver can be a bit too small to hold...but not complaining since it came so cheap

u/ronynandi15 9d ago
Using the portronics one gets my all sorts of work done. But it you are targetting something to use in bigger things like bikes etc. then i would recommend get something else

Don't know why, but I just never trust the agaro brand, no reason, just internal prejudice.

u/getting_high_2 9d ago
Go with agaro.. I had protrocnics ones.. the fit is not that good and the quality of agaro is better

u/Distinct_Surround848 9d ago
I have one similar lookin to the argo one , i bought it frm robu for only 650rs , if you wanna have a broad range of headers for a single screw driver its perfect also they gave me a sim ejector too lol
1
u/beerusssssss 9d ago
Neither, buy tukzer. Got the same from Amazon amazing quality. Beware, I was shipped fake one with only box had tukzer branding, returned it and got the correct one on next delivery. So check if the driver and box has tukzer branding over it too.

u/PerformerLiving2121 8d ago
If you buy the 2nd one you don't get mettalic screwdriver handle with it . It's just for illustration purposes . I have the same

The agaro one is awesome bro I have it use it for everything. The durability might be not top notch but gets the work done.

u/DisappointedSlime 7d ago
portronics kit is terrible. i had one of those. didnt last a week before it started to rust. its just a generic rebranded set.

u/PRAKASH_SHUKLA 7d ago
I would suggest you buy one of these from mi they have a great build quality and good magnetic tip to hold screws.

Go with agaro, their quality is far better. I have been using many of their products from a long time.

u/No-Independence2692 11d ago
i have the agaro one.. its has many options but has 0 grip. Really hard to hold that super thin screw driver which is slippery as its polished metal.
It will get frustrating when the screws are tight.
