Product Description
Sometimes you need a screwdriver that can fit into tiny places, even if you can't apply a lot of torque. Even though the Teeny Turner is only 2 5/8" long (with a bit inserted), it still provides a decent grip. The seven bits can be changed rapidly and are held securely in the shank with magnets. Colors vary.Product Details

Highly magnetic, not for computers By J. Cullen
Pros:
- many bits with hand storage in the handle
- compact
Cons:
- strongly magnetic which isn't a good thing when working with computers
- a little too teeny; I had trouble get a good enough grip in it to loosen some screws.
I bought this for the torx bits so I could swap out my hard drive in my MacBook Pro. This teeny driver is strongly magnetic. It will pull the screws from to the bit from about an inch away. I had a hard drive become unreadable after using this bit to swap it out. I can't say positively that it was the magnetism of the driver that corrupted the drive, but it is just not a good idea to use a screwdriver that is strongly magnetic to work on a computer with.
UPDATE: It appears that the idea that magnetic screwdrivers are bad for computers/harddrives is simply not correct anymore. The hard drive magnets inside of the hard drive should be strong enough to negate any magnetism by a screw driver. Back when you had floppy disks, you could do some real damage to your data with a screwdriver, but today it isn't something to worry about.

Perfect for MacBook Pro Upgrades, but read this first... By Dave Millman
Found this at our local computer store for adding memory to a new MacBook Pro. It does a great job. However, you need to know two things when opening the case of your MacBook Pro:
1. You need to insert the screws at a slight angle for them to seat properly. The screwdriver tilts slightly out from the center of the MacBook, meaning the screw tilts slightly in toward the center. This would be obvious with a long, thin screwdriver, but is less obvious with this little stubby one. Be observant when you remove the screws in the first place and you'll figure it out.
2. The screws are TINY! Store them where you will not lose them. I put them inside my reading glasses case (the glasses were on my face, so I could see what the heck I was doing!)
Always be gentle with computer innards. Don't force these screws, or the memory DIMMs, and you'll be fine.

Also works for Macbook 2009 By Lon-Wong
In upgrading the hard drive on my new Macbook 2009, I encountered some tiny torx mounting screws on the hard drive. I think it is a Torx 6. Anyway, this fit perfectly and it also worked well on the base screws.
The storage slots for the extra bits have a decent grip on the extra bits.
The magnet holding the drive bit is also stronger than average.
The handle is wide enough to provide enough torque for these tiny screws and I was able to press down on it to make a firm contact.
The bits seem to be of high quality. They are sharp, hard, and have a very fine surface. The Picquic website specifies that these are made of chro-moly toolsteel, not cheap Chinese shiny plate over soft metal. I think we've all seen that junk in stores.
Another nice thing, the sizes are stamped on the side of the bit.
Also, made in Canada, where they have real environmental laws.
This is an actual precision tool that will last longer than my lifetime that is a good addition to my set.
Buy this. Not the 20 piece junk sets.
By the way, a Torx 6 is really really tiny. So make sure you are buying the right sizes.
Wikipedia specifies the diameter from point to point to be 1.7mm.
