People underestimate the deterrent effect that small obstacles have. Having a nice set of screwdrivers means that random things that come loose can be tightened easily. Things like door handles, the panels around electrical switches, that rattling armrest on your chair, etc, etc. They make assembling furniture oh so much more efficient, since the tools that ship with furniture kits are the absolute cheapest pieces of junk that manufacturers can get away with. A proper set of precision bits makes certain “impossible” projects easy. For example, when the RAM in my laptop died, I was able to open it up, and replace just the bad RAM, instead of having to throw away the entire machine and get a new one.
I have both the “Mahi” 48-bit 1/4″ driver kit and the “Mako” precision 4-mm driver kit from iFixIt. If I had to choose one, I’d take the Mahi, since the precision bits are useless in a non-electronics context.
