iFixit makes sense when you think of it as a content mill made to sell overpriced screwdrivers.

They are actually very nice screwdrivers. I had a cheaper no-name set before and ended up stripping screws a lot more often. I got their Mako kit and it's worked great the last 4 years or so. If you ever do work on old game consoles I would especially recommend it. Has the bits for the consoles and the games. Game Bit for GameCube, SNES, GB(C) games, Y bit for GBA and GBA games, security Torx for Xbox 360. The only times it falls short are for very recessed screws like on a Rock Band drum kit, you need a long dedicated driver to fit in there, I think anything with a socket tends to be too thick.
