Read this review first if you are replacing a Wii DVD drive
I purchased these screw drivers on March first and they were at my door by March 3rd. Fast shipping and I received a very small bitted precision phillips head screw driver and a tri-wing screw driver.

Purpose: I bought these because I needed a tri-wing to replace my Wii DVD drive.

Background: I'm a computer geek so I've ripped apart literally hundreds of laptops and am used to precision tools. (I worked for a computer company and was certified on all IBM, Toshiba, HP, and Dell laptops

Now, these 2 tools will work perfectly to remove the case from your Wii. The issue that everyone has complained about is when they use the tri-wing screw driver on the 4 screws that hold the dvd drive in place. These 4 screws are torqued down very tight to prevent the dvd drive from vibrating them loose and causing damage. I used a small magnetized flat head screw driver to remove these. In my experience, phillips head screws always strip when they are torqued down tightly. Using a flat head works much better for removing. It also gives you 2 chances to remove the screws if they start to strip. Magnetizing your flat head will make it much easier to put the screws back in. Just a regular refrigerator magnet swiped across the blade a few times will do the trick. I used these instructions before taking apart my Wii: [...]

Quality: These are better than my companion tools. Are they perfect? No. I never expect precision screw drivers to last. They get lost, broken, or altered all the time.

Summary: The low rating is mostly from people who used the tri-head on the dvd drive screws. Follow my lead and use a flat head on those screws and you will be just fine.

Did not work as promised on nintendo ds lite.
Triwing stripped itself and the screws. Was not the right size for the ds lite as stated. Am very disappointed.

Broken
Triwing tip chipped and bent on the first screw I tried to remove. Poor quality.

Tri-wing screwdriver worked at first
I was able to remove two silver tri-wing screws but when I tried to remove the black tri-wing screws, the screwdriver itself stripped. Now I can't put back the silver tri-wing screws.

May require slight modification.
I had bought this set to repair various Nintendo products I own and it got the job done. However, there were a few minor problems using the tri-wing screwdriver. As many other reviews have mentioned that the screw driver is prone to rounding the screws. This is true because the tip of the driver is too narrow and sharp and it dose not fit snug with the screws. Lucky I found a "fix" to remedy this problem and prevent rounded(damaged) screws. Simply, just reduce the tip with a metal file. After carefully filing down the tip in very small increments , the tri-wing screw driver now fits properly and I am now able to use it properly without fear of rounding and screws. I really hope the manufacture will fix this problem in later batches.
