There is no Phillips Head screwdriver included in this set. Phillips screwdrivers are commonly available anywhere. Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, Radio Shack, grocery stores, etc. all carry them. No need to order this set for a Phillips screwdriver.

It depends whether or not your dell laptop has torque screws or phillips. This set has no phillips if you need a phillips then get a phillips . This set only assists with torque screws or also known as star screws. The grooves look like stars

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

If your Dell has Phillips Head screws, then the answer is a definite NO!!! I used this set to open my Garmin GPS and they worked fine.

The whole thing... My wife did it for me though. Took about 30 min and you need a Phillips head screw driver.

You should be fine. I am also a semi handy woman and did it. I think you may need a Philips head screw driver otherwise it would be an Allen wrench thing which is provided. I can't remember but I did not have any tools with me yet (I had just moved).

Yes but it will take the unscrewing of the Philips head screw at its current location. Then keeping all the parts you can shift it all to the other side. Be careful and easy does it. Once you have moved it all over than screw in the screw you initially removed so you could shift it over to the new location. Keep in mind that you are dealing with small screws and plastic parts so do not force anything; if you have some difficulty than use a dab of WD-40. Good luck!

I bought a cheap set of screwdrivers which have the special head, and a "spluge"?! for prying it off. My son is the whiz in the family, and had no problems doing the replacement (other than he preferred a different color than I bought).

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!

I think they are great little screwdrivers, but I'm not sure the heads are quite small enough for iPhone screws. It would be close. I think the quality is good...just not sure if they are quite as precise as you need.

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.

hi response as described by Joseph P exactly as I would have described philips head is a cross point bit, as an avid modeller this is the best thing since sliced bread Mike

"WELL"....No! The Phillips #00, & #000 are not precision ground to fit properly, in the set that was shipped to me. The cost of returning the set, was more than it was worth for a ?able replacement. the rest of the screw drivers look OK

There is a list of tools needed on the instruction page. Nothing exotic, phillips head screwdriver is the main tool.

it can be a screw driver (comes with a flat/Philips bit) but the device can do a lot more, especially with its inter-changeable heads.

Yes, those bits will work in this screwdriver. The screwdriver comes with a flathead screw bit and a phillipshead screw bit. No. This is a relatively low RPM screwdriver and is not intended for drilling. It may drill holes in thin soft wood with the second set of bits you identified, but I would not expect to have satisfactory performance since it is really a screwdriver, not an electric drill.

I've not used the Radio shack screw drivers ? These seem to be OK in the durability department, but they are not professional grade. If your a home owner-tinker', do you need professional grade KLEIN Tools ????

If you have one of the thumb screws, take it to a hardware store. You should be able to find the corect METRIC length and thread size. It won't have the thumb head, but a magnetic screw driver works fine.

Yes, it does have a Phillips end. In the picture,it's the upper right hand corner. It doesn't look like a traditional "+", it is a tapered flat head that works with phillips screw heads. It works with a variety of sizes, not as well as an actual screwdriver but it works in a pinch.

Rosa, you need a small Phillips Head screwdriver for one of the units but not the other one.
