new or old you can't really go wrong, because they'll last forever

why is korea so good at tech yet shit at car making

kias are alright i guess

what about kingston

Their car industry has basically given up already

Just there to build car for their own poor people

Toyota and VW crashed them hard on the chinese market

@pesten Cheap screwdrivers are too much trouble to be worth using. You don't gotta go Wera/Wiha/high-end, but don't buy CHEAP screwdrivers. The iFixIt kits are actually a good deal, or buy the driver you need now.

And that Xiaomi Wiha set I've heard is just licensed from Wiha, but not produced by them. It's MIC when they don't have facilities there, as far as I've heard.

Still heard good things about quality though. Mediocre things about ergonomics.

>Mediocre things about ergonomics

Yeah, that's actually true. They're borderline for me, I guess they're a hassle for someone with actually large hands

i once bought a cheap screwdriver

like the bit was worn completely by the time i unscrewed everything

learnt from then on never to bother cheaping out

I'm sure half of us have owned those little silver mini sets, with the blue plastic base and clear top, and spinny but on the back of the driver.

yep

omgg thoseee

The other half of us had it in a black case.

They are hot garbage.

i still have these

i stole it from a friends house by accident

They work okay for battery compartment screws

That's about it

Otherwise they strip right out.

that's an oddly specific use case

mine Just Work (tm)

I mean, I had that set when I was a kid, so they mostly got used on toys.

Oh yeah

I still use the non cross ones to open lids and shit

I invested in a bunch of Wera. Usually when someone says they invested in rediculously priced tools, you gotta go ""invested"" in finger quotes, but those drivers are worth their weight in... Well, not gold, but silver at least.

Actually, their weight in silver is probably below MSRP...

huh wera do a nice looking set for electronics for 28gbp

might pick one up

Dunno, everything "normal" sized i got german screwdrivers from now bankrupt companys

All good though

Chinks really ruined steel

Hell yeah, especially in EU pricing. Wera and Wiha are the best for mini drivers.

what's the chinkiest way to get a new tv cheap?

steal one
