Is this the tool to use on my laptop or will it strip out the screws?

Hello William: This is a soft tool, I used in tiny appliances with no problem at all, just follow the general precautions working with rusty or sealed screws, specially looking for glued ones and in that case, any soft penetrating oil will do the job. (Do not forget to clean with Isophrophylic alcohol or a non residual circuit cleaner.Regards!

I have used this to take apart many laptops. It works fine. I have never had it strip a screw.

What laptop are you trying to put this into (Model name and number)? The only thing included with this is the screen. There are no screws. You would have to use the ones from your laptop. Ebay, a local computer repair shop or a local hardware store would be the best place to find the screws if you no longer have them

Yea use YouTube guides.Not too hard I am a novice and did it very easily. Keep track of screws... I also bought the Mac tool kit on amazon prime idk the exact name.

I have no idea, I don't work with such tools. You better ask Toshiba directly through its webpage. I can tell you that the mouse of this particular PC is really bad, terrible to use !! I've had to use an external mouse from day one. Good luck.

If you need a Phillips screwdriver to open your laptop this is not the kit for you, this one is mainly Torx bits.

Not to the best of my knowledge, though since the screws are going to strip anyways, it will be easier just to replace the hardware anyway.

Yes, it is perfect for those jobs. I no longer can remove those screws from any glasses without wearing eye glasses. This tool allows you to connect with the screw head whether or not you can see every detail. I'm about to use it remove the battery from my watch because stores no longer provide that service anymore.

The screw extractors are used when the depression in the phillips head is wallowed out. Not very effective if there are no ends left on the outside of the phillips depression in the screw head, but they might work for small screws. On the other side of the extractors are regular driving bits. You just pull the driver shank out ,reverse the orientation so that the driver you want is sticking out, and push them back into the driver shank. I can say they are tough and good quality steel. I pulled one shank out with a small flat driver and put it deep into a wallowed out phillips screw until I felt it bite. I used a pair of pliers to turn the shank and felt sure the small flat head would be twisted. I was amazed to find out that the flat head did not twist under the torque of the pliers. It just wallowed the area out more. I wound up taking a sharp pointed diamond burr bit (cone shaped tapered burr narrowing to a small point at the end).Placed it on my Dremel type tool at low speed and cut a notch on each side of the cone shaped phillips wallowed out area. Just enough to get a small regular flat blade driver to match the slot. I was abled to extract the screw with this technique. As it was a computer, I couldn't use a round Dremel cutting disk as it would have cut the case. Amazon has a set for about $13 or so ( SE Diamond Burr Set - 150 Grit). If you want an excellent small precision screw driver set for a computer I would suggest StarTech.com 7-Piece Precision Screwdriver Computer Tool Kit on Amazon. These are the best drivers I have ever bought because they are magnetic. They hold a tiny screw like glue when you mate them up to the proper sized driver. These screws are so tiny that you can barely pick them up, much less place them and start them in the tiny holes of a laptop. And woe, if you drop one and it rolls under the mother board or some other in-accessible nook and cranny. Hope this helps.

The screws are proprietary, so you would either need a specialized tool, or you'd more than likely damage the tool.

It takes some patience, start with the smallest one (remember they're reversible) and slowly working your way up until you find one that grips. They may not seem to grip at first, just keep applying pressure and twisting slowly until they do. I was able to get three stripped laptop hard drive bay screws out after working at them for a while. The first one came out right away but it took many tries to get the other two.

Seems a bit much for computer repairs only. I would think you would want something smaller and lighter. It would be safe as you can set the clutch so you wouldn't be stripping out screws. That said this is a great all around drill/driver that I use everyday and all day for installing blinds and drapes. I've driven screws from a 1/2" #4 to a 4" #12 without a problem. If it's as tough as previous versions this will last for years.

It should be.I have used it to remove stripped metal screw about 2 and half inches long.

Yes, the screw probably has Loctite or some other thread locker on it. You need to be careful trying to remove the screw - it is easy to strip the head making removal very hard. Use a hand-held impact driver to safely loosen the screw. Use of a pneumatic type impact driver may also strip the head due to the force it exerts. Hope this helps!

no way!, this is a hammer drill , i HIGHLY recommend against using this for screws. Use a smaller 3/8 power drill like this one PORTER-CABLE PC600D 6 Amp 3/8-Inch Variable Speed Drill However i always recommend using a cordless drill for installing/taking out screws. If your drill does not have enough power it may seem that way for other reasons, maybe the batteries are not good, or maybe your screws are big and need to be pilot drilled first.

I have Lenovo W520. It has removable CD drive caddy. Easily removable by pressing a lever, no need to open laptop. HD caddy fit perfectly to replace CD drive caddy

These worked great for removing those screws. I also had stripped screws when removing the SuperDrive of my MBP. I bought these screwdrivers as a last try to remove them before bringing my computer to a shop. Just make sure to push down with a but if force when removing the screw.
