iFixit Mako Driver Kit Best Overall
- Bits
- 64
- Handle
- 4 mm aluminum
- Warranty
- Lifetime guarantee
- Bit Material
- S2 steel
The Mako's case opens like a small tool roll, and every bit has a labeled slot. The 64 bits cover the fasteners we meet on phones, laptops, game consoles, and glasses, including security Torx and pentalobe. The 4 mm aluminum driver has a knurled grip and a swivel top, so it feels steady between two fingers.
What earns it top pick is the balance: enough bits for most jobs, not so many that the case becomes a drawer hog. We like the magnetic lid and foam insert; they keep tiny bits from migrating. The S2 steel bits feel crisp in the head, and the socket holds them securely. We did notice the magnet at the bit socket is not the strongest; a screw can sit slightly off-center until you seat it. It's a small annoyance, not a dealbreaker.
We also appreciate the lifetime guarantee. For a kit that sees repeated use, that matters more than a couple of extra sizes. The handle is comfortable for small electronics, though it's not a substitute for a full-size driver on a stubborn chassis screw. The case is compact enough to keep on a desk without clearing a whole drawer.
The Mako is the set we leave out. If you fix electronics regularly, the organization and support justify it. If you only tighten eyeglasses twice a year, a smaller set will do.
