They're not the best quality but also not the worst. I feel like they're a little overpriced, but have bundled in a few unique bits which you don't typically find in toolkits (since they aren't technically tools, like the spudger, suction cups, and heat gun). iFixIt tools are one of these things you should buy on sale, the $80 "Pro Tech Toolkit" is a joke (even $50 seems high).

Unfortunately for iFixIt if you look around on Amazon you can find a lot of third parties that have copied various iFixIt sets almost 1:1 and are charging less than half the price for them. Even for more bespoke items like the spudgers.

You're better off buying high quality screwdrivers (e.g. wiha brand) and then adding the unique iFixIt additions, rather than buying the iFixIt set and getting really mediocre screwdrivers.
