This week, we're focusing on the new iFixit products we are bringing into the SparkFun catalog! Bring on the screwdrivers!
Hello hello hello! Welcome back to another Friday Product Post here at SparkFun Electronics! We took a week off last week but we're back again and this time, we have our first of four weeks of new iFixit products joining the SparkFun catalog, and we are going to start it off with five new screwdriver options for you! From Mako, to Marlin, to Moray, you will have plenty to choose from. Let's jump in and take a closer look at these new tools, shall we?
The Mako Driver Kit includes iFixit's 4mm aluminum screwdriver handle with magnetic bit socket, knurled grip, and swivel top plus 64 precision driver bits and a flexible extension.

This driver kit includes standard, security, and specialty driver bits for a wide range of regular and exotic repairs. Standard bits like Phillips and Flathead will get you into most small household appliances and electronic devices.

Whether you're a professional fixer or a weekend warrior, this bit kit has what you need to disassemble, repair, and reassemble smartphones, game consoles, wearables, laptops, desktops, tablets, small appliances, and much more!
Measuring a portable 0.9in. x 3.1in. x 4.9in., the Moray is the perfect every-day-carry toolkit or junk drawer standby to prevent your stuff from becoming junk.

With these drivers, you'll be ready for any project that comes your way. Each driver has a swivel top and an ergonomic, knurled, rubberized handle for extra comfort. Each precision tip is coated with black oxide and magnetized, so it hangs on to tiny screws with a steel grip.
