4.5mm VGM Gold Security Screwdriver Bit

Worked perfectly. The bit is awesome allowed me to clean my NES games and pass them onto my children. I didn't experience the bit stripping out as some had said in their reviews. I cleaned 36 games with a little brass cleaner, a soft cotton cloth, some rubbing alcohol, and q-tips with no trouble. The bit was perfect. Shipped quickly and arrived on time. Amazing how much dirt came off the cartridges after I opened them up. No wonder some of them didn't work. Would definitely purchase from this seller again.

This security bit opened my Game Boy cartridge with ease. Did the job without any hassle. I also followed the instructional video exactly as you stated on your website on replacing the batteries in older Pokemon games, and now my Pokemon Red can save my progress again! Plan on replacing all my Pokemon cartridge batteries using the same method. If you have an older Pokemon game that has a CR2025 battery that probably died years ago like mine did and need a simple video to teach how to replace it, check out this link to their site: [...] Thanks!!!

Yes, there are cheaper options, but most have poor to mixed reviews. This one is fantastic: no stripping, slots easily into the cartridge screwholes, and its teeth keep a firm grip on the screw. Seems to be a standard bit size, too: it fits my Black & Decker ratchet screwdriver and another cheap no-name screwdriver that I have.

Pros: Tight fit on the bit, nice long reach. Cons: surface finish is mediocre. Rough machining. A small gripe, but let's face it, that's not an insignificant price for a single screwdriver bit, let's hire some professional machinists. Some people want tools to look as well as they work. Magnetized would be a nice option on a long reach bit also.

Does exactly what it needs to do: Open Super Nintendos. Decent build, doesn't feel like it will fall apart anytime soon. Fits into any standard bit screwdriver handle.

Perfectly functional, good price.

Many of the reviewers say they got one that was covered in black residue, came with a worn out bit, and/or that theirs wore down after only a few uses. The one I got was shiny and brass, looks new, and seems to be very durable and like it will last for a while. I got mine to open up GBC cartridges, and it fits/opens them just fine.

The screwdriver came pre-stripped. It spun freely over the security screws on my SNES.
