Be sure to use the screws that came with your Wii when you replace the shell the screws that come with the replacement shell are weak and twist off.

If you're going to be opening your Wii often, then consider buying the same Wii screws (tri-star) in normal phillips heads.
Just match the sizes & threads correctly & you won't have to worry about special screwdrivers.
Ask a friend to help you undo your Wii, make a count of how many is needed & you're on your way.
Hope you know what you're doing (?). It can get a little finicky, but do it a few times & Bob's your uncle.

The heads of the screws break off and easily strip out.

Oi, no need to get saucy. I own plenty of screwdrivers that hold up just fine, thank you very much. I was specifically looking at the quote above:

Instead of getting personal, why don't you provide an example of "a screwdriver made of butter" so that people have some idea of what to avoid? Provide some benefit from your extensive experience, hmm? I can definitely say there's heaps of stuff on AliExpress that people are selling elsewhere for ten times the price if they can get away with it.

Lmao! Where was the 'personal'?? My point was a screwdriver is a screwdriver and you dont have to spend silly money as someone beforehand had already mentioned.

I got a random one for 1 pound and twenty nine pence and your pulling me for people up selling them twelve years later???? Have you had a bad experience diddums?? Does my cheap screwdriver make you jealous? That's a shame. Keep trying. :rofl2:

Sir, if you read the post a little closer you'll see I wasn't referring to you and was actually agreeing with your point.

"Keep trying", indeed.

My personal opinion:

If you need only to change the case and will no open more consoles on the next months a cheap kit will do it, only be sure you press the screwdriver while you turn it.

but if you are going to regularly take off some consoles invest on a good one, the iFIX kit are the best and are no so priced.

but, always use the correct tool.

Did you bother reading the 1, 2 and 3 star reviews? Obviously not because PLENTY of people saying both the screwdrivers and the screws were ruined using those. There are even comments stating that after those, they bought an iFIxit set and had absolutely no problems. Why don't you take the recommendations of just getting quality stuff from iFixit and be done with it? There is info all over the place that points to most cheap sets being garbage and ruining both the screwdriver and the screws. You can either take the advice given by myself and others & go with iFixit, or don't and then be upset when your screws are possibly stripped. That set you posted is nearly $9 after tax. Spend the extra $7 and get them from iFixit. I'm done trying to help you end up with the best items for your $$$. Do what you want.

Get one of these:

You don't need any expensive and/or fancy screwdriver set, the simpler the better.

impeeza · Dec 22, 2023

really you can not go wrong with a iFix kit.

You can find a similar set on Shoppe for about $10 USD. I can recommend it too, but the cheaper you can get it even better.
