Are the tips of these magnetic? and are they small enough for laptop screws 2.5x5mm

Not certain if they are magnetic. Set was a corporate purchase for an employee, however any set can be magnitized by simply applying the pieces to a magnet for 5 minutes or so. Yes, they would be ideal for a laptop as they are precision. Hope this helps.

No. Id get bigger magnets. These are very thin. I purchased these to use on magnetic blackboard paint.

Yeah they are great sizes, I did however bend the smallest flathead on a tiny computer screw but still a decent product for the price.smallest size Phillips is #000 and smallest flat is 1.5mm

No, this screwdriver set does not have magnetic tips. I sure wish they did.Good luck ghost.Jim.

Just measured mine, the smallest files diameter is 2.3mm, so no. The tips of some may fit but it will be tight.

They will work... they are not sized as a wrench or nut driver... they are round but are aggressively made with sharp points to grab even if the hole is completely rounded. The problem here is these are QUITE SMALL and are made for removing very small screws. You can see by the image that they resemble "jewelers" screwdrivers 2-56, maybe up to 4-40, 6-32 is too large. Anything larger than 4-40 is probably not going to work. These work best on screws that are rounded off because someone was using a metric in lieu of a standard and vice-versa and the screw is not really imbedded with rust or threadlock for 30 years etc. Just want to emphasize, they are for tiny screws.

Probably not. These magnets are fairly weak. That is just my opinion, but I find these to barely be able to hold themselves to a surface, let alone hold anything.

No, there is no magnet. The bits are held in with recessed balls with a spring, which holds the bits in strongly, but does not help with screws. The bits are well machined, however, so I find most screws (like computer rack screws) will sit well on the bit up to almost completely horizontal.

Yes - I use this for laptop repair and it does a great job clinging to the tiny screws as I pull them out or carefully start threading them back in.

no they are not. I dont know if they can be, a mechanic I know ran a magnet in a circle in the middle to magnatize my screw driver bit. You should look that up on the internet as how to or call Black and Decker if they have them, magnetic bits are worth it.

They're pretty good. I've mangled small screw heads before the tools. Of course, any small tool head can be bent, but I'd say that these are pretty strong. Looking at my tools- they're all still in perfect shape.

This thing comes with 11 or so tips, should be pretty much any tip you'd need for all brands of laptops...the end the tips plug into is a bit finicky but for the price not bad at all.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to answer you sooner. Unfortunately no it doesn't have magnetic tips. They are pretty sturdy though. Even the real thin ones. Hope that helps.

The tips no, but the handle (tip holder) is. Initially the tips seem "dead" but when you drop one into the holder it immediately picks up the magnetic pull from the handle (and remains magnetized after you remove it). Well over half of my tips are now magnetized. Screws, small nuts, and that other little thing you always seem to drop are easily picked up.

I would recommend a larger magnet. These are very strong for their size. But, that size is very small. You may be able to use several of these to accomplish your goal.

Are the screws in the same place, but behind the plate? If so, the magnets are pretty strong and could possibly hold. If they are in a different location, it will not work. The magnets are only slightly larger than the screws. They need to align. Hope this helps!

This one is magnetic and works great for holding the small screws as you line them up or drop them in a small place in your device
