Washington, Computer Sci Lines: 12 These people actually have a number of similar kits -- all-in-one magnetized screwdrivers, adhesive kits, and so forth. I have their nuts & bolts kit and screwdriver kit. They are everything the company says, and well worth it. Two things to keep in mind. First, the claim that the nuts and bolts are "high quality." What that means depends on who you talk to; these are hardware-grade parts. They are not for use in high-stress environments (you can tell this by the top of the bolts. The smooth surface is hardware-grade; if there were three radial raised lines they would be grade 5; if there were 6 they would be grade 8). Second, they only come in standard heads. Don't look to exactly replace anything that needs, say, a small size head. Basically, the same stuff Ernst sells, at a much better price. -Joe P.
