The Mako includes a 4 mm anodized-aluminum driver with a magnetic bit socket, knurled grip, and swivel top, plus 64 precision bits and a flexible extension. The kit also includes a 1/4-inch-to-4-mm adapter, magnetic pickup, and a compact ABS case with organized storage.
Which fastener types does the Mako kit cover?
Its 64-bit assortment includes Flathead, Phillips, JIS, Hex, Torx, security Torx, Pentalobe, Tri-point, Gamebit, Spanner, Square, Triangle, Nut Driver, iPhone Standoff, SIM Eject, Oval Drive, and the adapter. The selection combines standard, security, and specialty profiles.
What kinds of repairs is the Mako Driver Kit designed for?
iFixit describes the Mako for disassembling, repairing, and reassembling smartphones, game consoles, wearables, laptops, desktops, tablets, small appliances, and other electronics. Its standard, security, and specialty bits are intended for small-device and household-electronics repair work.
How does the Mako case help during a repair?
The case uses a magnetic lid to keep it closed and to mount the lid on the back while you work. The lid also serves as an integrated sorting tray for screws and small parts, while the custom EVA foam insert organizes the bits in the compact ABS case.
What materials and dimensions does the Mako kit use?
The driver is anodized aluminum, the bits are S2 steel, the case is ABS, and the organizing foam is EVA. The listed dimensions are 7 by 4.3 by 1.5 inches, or 17.8 by 10.9 by 3.8 centimeters. The product's iFixit part number is IF145-299-4.
What does iFixit's Lifetime Guarantee mean for the Mako?
The Mako product listing includes a Lifetime Guarantee field. iFixit's guarantee policy defines that level as a promise that the product will function for as long as you have it. The policy limits coverage when a defect results from abuse, negligence, misuse, or use outside the product's intended purpose.
What is not covered by the Mako's guarantee?
iFixit's policy covers function rather than appearance and gives the Mako lid as an example: a scratch is not a replacement claim, but failed bits can be covered. The policy also excludes lost items, user-error damage, and tools destroyed through misuse or use outside their intended purpose.
