Got my Mum's iPhone 7 apart to replace the battery and can't find my Y000 screwdriver! Argh!!

 

Anyone in Beach Haven/Birkenhead area of Auckland got one they can lend me for 30 minutes?

Sorry the set I have at home doesnt have any triwings in it, and the actual screwdriver I have seems to be a 00 only, and im not sure if its an offset triwing or the straight style.

I'm unfortunately 128km south (Hamilton)! Rate this Xiaomi kit highly. Any luck finding the tool you're after?

Haven't found one to borrow yet. That Xiaomi kit looks good though!

I purchased a multi-bit set off Trademe years ago. Total cost was $20 or something compared to the $10 that some places were charging just for the small pentalobe driver for opening up iPhones that I needed. The kit has been super handy!

I agree the Xiaomi screwdriver set is amazing. Best screwdriver set I've ever owned by a long way, and I've had a lot. Incredibly well designed and a pleasure to use - better than sets many times its price.

What size is a Y000? I've got 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 tri-wings and close to your area if that's useful.

 

 

Edited to add: So it's a Y00 not a Y000, not sure if you can use that.

Is than screwdriver set an overseas thing, nothing on Xiaomi NZ. Does it have a particular name ?

Amazon AU has it and can quite possibly deliver quicker than NZ Post will from a local seller. I got a slightly different ratcheting one from there to drop in the kitchen drawer for when I quickly want to adjust a common size, it's really nicely made.

Yeah, sorry it's a little OT as it doesn't include a Y000, but it was still worth a mention. I'm pretty sure I've seen the set at PBTech, or you can check AliExpress - that's where I got mine.

The Y000 is the 0.6mm variant so it's bloody small. Thanks for looking though.

I did have a Y000 before but cant find the set.  I do have another kit containing a Y 0.8 which is small - Jameky is the manufacturer and looking this up  they state the Y 0.8 works for the 7 plus if your interested?
