Pentalobe Screwdriver Set P2 P5 P6

I was able to quite easily open my 2018 15" MacBook Pro in order to clear dust from the fans - see the before and after pics! I gently undid the screws and after doing them up again don't seem to have stripped the screwdriver as some other reviews mention - for my purposes the quality is strong enough and I'm sure will work again when needed. The kit included accessories I hadn't realised I needed which were a bonus. The magnet block for the screws worked great. Highly recommended kit, good value. (And FYI my laptop is working a lot faster now, it's amazing how much dust can slow it down!)

After searching through Amazon for a tool to open my MacBook pro I came across these. They arrived quickly and worked perfectly. I was able to replace the feet on my Mac and that of my wife's. I ordered the whole set because I'm sure that I'll need to other sizes at some point, although I haven't used them yet. The fact that they are magnetised was a bonus and made the removal and replacement of the very tiny screws so easy. The tools are good to hold.

I really only wanted one of the sizes in this kit but there is often a need for others later, so....... The blade quality is good - as an engineer, I really dislike cheap soft screwdriver blades which turn out to be a one time use item - or damage the screw. This set was decent and I have been able to use it successfully to service two of my cellphones. A worthwhile purchase for me.

Perfect for the job

Excellent!

Cheap - do the job but not very robust. If you have a single use then ok but for regular jobs suggest you get stronger tools.

The good news is that the Pentalobe was fine for opening up my Mac, and the other plastic tools were handy enough for prising open some of the retaining clips. The bad news is that the T5 screwdriver was a horror show and stripped one of the screws holding the SSD in place. If you intend to do *anything* more than opening the shell, for the sake of your machine, look elsewhere and spend a little extra to get a quality tool.

Use the screwdriver with the red base to open the back cover. The screws are different lengths, so you need to take note of which holes they belong to. The rear cover then has to be pulled back quite hard to get it off. There are some good YouTube videos on how to do that. I needed to do this to remove some dust that had accumulated inside and was restricitng air flow, causing the CPU to throttle when under heavy load.
