Precision Pentalobe Screwdriver Set, 0.8 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm (P2/TS1, P5/TS4, P6/TS5) for Apple iPhone, MacBook Pro, Air Retina

Product Information

This screw is the primary reason the 11″ MacBook Air earned a lousy repairability score of 4 out of 10 in our teardown last October. The seller of top 1 product has received honest feedback from 89 consumers with an average rating of 4. The screwdriver bits are made of hardwearing alloy S2 steel with a heat-treated nickel-plated driver, providing maximum quality and durability. The ilabPRO Precision Set is a 120 piece toolkit designed for precision repairs of electronic devices, including smartphones, tablets, game consoles, PCs, glasses, toys, watches and cameras.

While proprietary screws are licensed screws that often (but not always) have restricted availability, security screws are usually designed to be difficult to remove without the corresponding (usually uncommon) bit. The shape looks a little rough because this tiny screw is giving Apple’s manufacturing process a run for its money. It is possible that ambiguous "TS" nomenclature is the same as the "PL" designation when referring to Pentalobe screws. The pentalobe security screw [1] (Apple nomenclature), or pentalobe screw drive, is a five-pointed tamper-resistant system used by, but not limited to, Apple in their products.

The comprehensive set includes 3 magnetic tip precision screwdrivers with a super smooth 360-degree rotation cap for improved efficiency. Although there is no (known) official standard naming scheme, the size is commonly known as P-sizes.

The screwdriver head is made of high quality S2 steel with enhanced hardness, making it stronger and more durable than other screwdrivers. The E·Durable Screwdriver Kit is a 10-piece kit that is perfect for repairing or DIY work on all versions of MacBooks.A couple years ago, we spotted our first set of pentalobe screws outside of Apple’s ecosystem—first in Huawei’s P9 and then again in Meizu’s MX6.
