iFixit Mako Driver Set
iFixit Manta Driver Kit
Wera 950/9 Hex-Plus Long Arm Hex Key Set

The iFixit and Wera range of tools have a reputation for quality and longevity, but they usually come with a hefty price tag. I get it, you pay for quality. You can get by with cheaper tools, in fact when you are starting out these are the tools that you should reach for. But when you have a few miles under your belt, you'll start to appreciate the tools that you need and use. That is when you should stump up the cash and get quality.

These two iFixit kits are ideal for PC building, 3D printer maintenance, and general DIY / furniture assemblies. The Wera Hex-Plus set also has a great discount right now, making Black Friday the right time to buy quality tools.

iFixit Mako Driver Set

The Mako driver kit is designed for general electronics and PC tasks. You'll find all the bits that you could possibly need to take apart a laptop, PC, Nintendo, or other electronic device. Don't believe me? Strap in, because here is the list!

1 x 1/4 inch to 4 mm Adapter
2 x Gamebit (3.8mm and 4.5mm)

Go on, treat yourself!

The iFixit range of tools are excellent, and this 53-piece precision driver kit is well worth the splurge!

In the kit you get 4mm bits for common screw types (Phillips, Slot, Pozidriv) and some less-common, such as Petalobe and security Torx. There are even bits to take apart old consoles, which often used exotic screws to keep us out!

All of the kit is contained inside a magnetically sealed case, with the lid acting as a magnetic screw sorter, enabling us to keep track of which screw goes where!

All of those bits, the driver handle and the flexible shaft are stored in a lovely ABS plastic case which clips together using neodymium magnets -- very fancy! The case top also doubles as a screw sorter, keeping all the screws in a safe place so that you can put (most of) them back when you reassemble.

Yes, you are paying a premium over other, cheaper sets, but the iFixit Mako kit is a great upgrade to complement your growing skills.

Wera 950/9 Hex-Plus Long Arm Hex Key Set

We've all used those horrible, cheap, soft metal hex keys. Be it furniture, PC cases, 3D printers, those hex keys turn up all over the place, and using a cheap set is a false economy. Why? Because the metal used to make them is some sort of weird hybrid of modeling clay and cotton candy!

Get a set of these Wera long arm hex keys and enjoy the quality German engineering!

In the set you get (yes, another list of every single thing that you get)

1.5mm, 90mm long shaft
2mm, 101mm long shaft
2.5mm, 112mm long shaft
3mm, 123mm long shaft
4mm, 137mm long shaft
5mm, 154 long shaft
6mm, 172mm long shaft
8mm 195mm long shaft
10mm, 224mm long shaft

All of these hex drivers have a ball-end, which is useful for accessing hex screws that are at odd angles or for fast tightening / loosening before using the long arm to finish off the job. Wera makes quality tools; I have a few of them in my tool drawer for maker projects. They will last you a lifetime and are a sound investment for the creator and maker who uses their skills for a living.
