$70 IFIXIT Pro Tech Toolkit Review

Taking a look at a bunch of FIXIT tools including their Pro Tech Toolkit which is an all in 1 toolkit featuring all of their signature tools.

Y2.5 bit:

This video IS NOT sponsored, but these tools have been provided to me for free & I was heavily bribed by the delicious haribos they sent me which were consumed just seconds after I stopped recording.

Elliot on Every item in the kit: OH THATS PROBABLY FOR RIBBON CABLES

[cora]

ESD = electrostatic discharge. Basically, anything that’s ESD safe is guaranteed to not become statically charged and ruin your electronics

[zjohn]

While there's only a few bits and tools that are useful for consoles, the rest of those bits are great for everything from computers to vacuums to vehicles!

[mrsg]

Have had my ifixit kit for a few years now, and it is really worth it. The bits haven't worn down at all despite me using them constantly.

I’ve found the ifixit kits to be awesome, especially for the price. I LOVE having exactly the right tool when you need it.

I used the extension for the first time yesterday removing the gamebit screws while refurbing a gamecube. Love my ifixit tool set.

[Scracey]

Was actually wondering if I should get one of these kits so hopefully this review will be informative

[iSupermanCKi]

You reversed the game bits. This will haunt me forever.

Now this channel is more, unique. Really loving it!

I’m really getting into repairing my own devices (GBA, DS, 3DS) and was mainly from watching you and I was thinking about getting this kit but thanks to you it made me realize I don’t need all this and was able to find a different kit that’s way cheaper with the exact tools I really need. Thank you

i was looking for the same screwdrivers

[TILR]

One little thing in the screwdriver kit that I thought was odd but found using a lot a SIM Card Ejector Tool Bit which makes taking out SIM Cards or even pressing tiny reset buttons way nicer. Plus it works fine on its own if you don't even want to use the handle. Also, the lid can attack to the bottom of the screwdriver kit which can be nice if you are just taking that from one spot to another and put some screws inside the air gap that it creates. Plus the lid also has that grid which can be just a nice basic spot to group screws together.

Also, I have had nothing but great customer service from them so far. I got one bit stuck where I couldn't get at it anymore. I emailed them and they sent me a replacement right away for no charge. I accidentally got the bit name wrong, so they said oh that's fine just keep the one we sent and we will send you the correct one. Lifetime warranties are awesome :D always feels good when a company stands behind their product that much.

You finally got one of these, I think I recommended one of these a few videos back !!

[gzmk]

I'll admit the second channel name change confused me, "When did I subscribe to this?! Was I drunk? Who the hell is Elli-o-right, now I understand!"

[icymiles]

Great video! I have the $25 ifixit kit but the only problem I have with it is that the triwing head is fairly small. Other than that, I love my kit!

Right on Elliot, ESD safe means they have non-conductive coating, so they won't short out components while working. Also the wrist strap is indeed anti-static. Clip the alligator clip on a metal table leg. Modern electronics are not as delicate as they used to be, and we have stuff like dryer sheets and all. But if you're doing it on a professional level, you're repairing hundreds a week sometimes, and that 1% chance of frying something always hits when fixing a one of a kind antique model or something.
The suction cup is great for getting gameboy screen lens perfectly centered too, a stick on handle. One tip to get it off easily, so you don't yank the glass back off, use a spudger to lift the edge just enough so air gets under it and lifts it off the glass. Great review, for sure.
The flex extender is the kind of thing that you almost never need, but when you do (to get that one impossible screw) it's a god-send.

bought the 64 bit kit a month or so ago and i'm really loving it, they're pretty great quality and I highly recommend it

[bluej]

Love my mako kit, the bits aren't cheap steel like chinese bits and they fit so incredibly well. Perfect for controllers, consoles, pc parts its fantastic. Def quality.

[chrlmlln]

Thank you, so very much, Elliot, for this inspiring toolkit review! I am convinced by your description of the many parts included in the toolkit! Wishing you all the very best and please stay healthy and safe! Best regards from Sweden!

This is actually really good for me. Not the whole $70 kit, obviously, but the handle and the Joy-Con repair kit, definitely! I haven't experienced any drift in my Joy-Cons yet, and I've had my Switch for 3 years now *knock on wood*, but I definitely have been keeping my eye out for it and what to do if it happens. This kit would totally work for me, so thanks, Elliot, for uploading this video!

In fact, watching you repair old portable consoles makes me feel much more comfortable about what I'd be doing if I had to repair one myself, because you're so detailed in your instructions and explanations. I've never done soldering, so that would be a weak point, but I think that following your videos, and with a little practice, I could really improve the life of my portable consoles, so thanks for that too!
