If you're the proud owner of a compact Macintosh (SE, SE/30, Classic, Classic II, for example) and you've ever had to or just wanted to take it apart then you're familiar with the difficulty the case's upper screws provide. There are many books, articles, etc. that provide instructions on how to disassemble these machines. Each will talk about obtaining a "special tool" to gain access to and remove these pesky screws. Most will tell you to visit a Sears or other tool store/department. While that might have been an option 20 years ago when these how-to guides were first written, I've looked in Sears and other such outlets and it's not an option now. Typically what you'd find--if you could find a long extended bit driver like this at all--would be a set of such tools in various sizes. I myself have never had a need for a long hex-nut driver like this, so I possess no such tool. It doesn't make sense, then, to own a set of them. Like many I've tried to makeshift something that would work...but for the small price that this, the CORRECT item is bring offered, why not just step up and purchase it? Make things simpler, not more complicated!Read full review

Used it to open a Mac Classic and replace floppy and hard disk. Worked perfectly. Expect to use it on more vintage Macs in my collection.

Long, thin shank, torx head tool driver that fits the holes to get the recessed screws. Cannot open the case without it. This one works well.

Just what you need to open that classic compact mac. Standard hex bit you can put in any tool you've got laying around.
