Appreciation post: Switched to a $20 iFixit toolkit and my repair speed doubled

For years I was using a cheap, mismatched set of screwdrivers from a hardware store. Last month, I finally bought the iFixit Mako kit. The first time I used it on a 2021 Dell laptop, I had the whole thing apart in under 15 minutes. The right bit for every screw and the magnetic mat kept everything organized. Has anyone else had a simple tool upgrade make this big of a difference?

Did you run into any screws the kit didn't have a bit for, or was it a perfect match?

Doubt it's a big deal if one screw doesn't match.
