Will something like this work on the small screws in computers and laptops?

I doubt it. The bit surfaces are too large. There are probably specialized products for those small applications or you might be better off using a thin reverse drill bit.

Yes, should work if set same as a regular screw end. 1/4 strongerthan thought ,handle small and comfortable to use.

I have used it on my rig to remove & put back screws on the lid on my HTPC. I did set the torque setting at the lowest when tightinging the external screws to the case, so yes it's just perfect enough for PC cases & laptop screws if the screws are not deep in holes. It won't strip them I promise!!!

The magnet works fine for screws comperable in size to the tool. I use it for emerency repairs to salt water fishing reels and it does a good job.

Phillips will work but will need to be a small point one. The screws are fairly small.

I have used sheet metal screws on an application and it worked just fine. Be sure the use a similar screw size. Go for it!

If it's a star head screw, then yes. I bought this set to remove the back of my Vizio laptop and it works just fine.the star head screws are the smallest I've ever seen.

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.

It shouldn't, the magnet is pretty low powered and most computers already have low powered magnets in them in the form or speakers, so as long as you don't rub it on the hard drive directly you should be fine.

That type of bit screw driver should be available at most hardware stores but you probably will end up buying one with bits. Good to have extra anyhow!

Low torque settings would be fine with computers and electronic devices. I've used it with vinyl/plastic screws with now issues or stripping.

No, regular Kreg screws won't work. Smaller drill bit, smaller holes, smaller screws for smaller projects. Glad to see your interest in the Kreg units. I helped my son build my new kitchen cabinets and cupboards using the Kreg system. I purchased the micro unit for him, on request, for a Christmas present. He likes to work on small projects and the smaller size works great.

I've only used them for 'lightweight' electronics work. Stripping a screwdriver tip usually means that the tip size didn't match the screw. It would have been nice if the tips were magnetic though. They're not.

Unless Macs use a non-standard size screw, these should be fine. Used these to mount two HDDs, one in a Dell and one in an HP, as well as to replace missing case screws. Worked well for all applications.

Most screwdrivers that accept hex bits will be able to use this. Some will be more successful than others. Usually the deeper socketed ones will provide a better grip and fit

Yes, I have used this specifically on laptops and it works great! Eventually, you may need new bits but the tool works great.

yes it does and it was not easy to do so......lots of very tiny screws and working in tiny spaces. Honestly I was very disappointed in the product for many reasons.
