Checking the Minnow Precision Bit Set

HMD teamed up with iFixit and dispatched the review units with the iFixit Minnow Precision Bit Set. This set is a small toolbox consisting of 16 drivers (Torx, Phillips, flathead, Pentalobe, Tri-point, and even an iPhone Standoff Bit) and a driver handle with a magnet that locks the drivers in place.

The handle is nicely made with a rubber grip and a movable top blue cap for easy rotation of screws (which is also a SIM door ejector tool). The box has a cover that is held in place with small magnets, which is neat. The drivers are made of good quality metal, making them tough, and they are neatly stacked in a foam holder inside the box, which protrudes the drivers for easy reach.

This seems like a nice set of tools, especially for disassembling the HMD Skyline, which is a repairable device. The only piece this set lacks is the guitar pick for taking off the back plastic.
