3.8 mm & 4.5 mm gamebit issues

[treismac]

Lukiegames.com has good bits, that's where I got mine and they are the stainless type. Very rarely though the bit will not fit into NES carts and some force was used, and by rarley I mean it happened like twice, so it might have been the carts that were the problem.

Oh, and lukie has them on sale for 3.99, well worth it if you open and clean all your games like I do.

I ordered mine off Lukie, too, and they work great. There is an occasional screw or cart (like 1 in 50) that might give it kind of a hard time, but other than that they are great.

Well, they work, but they don't grip the head of the screw very tight. Is that normal? I have to apply quite a bit of pressure when removing them for it to grab.

I've got Lukie ones as well and they've served me well for the large number of games (probably near 100) that I've opened with it already. As someone mentioned though, sometimes I need to take it slow and apply a bit of extra pressure to get it started, but once a bit looser they open up without any issues.

Considering that you seem to have purchased the ones most people in this thread seemed to be saying you shouldn't buy, I'm not too surprised.

Actually, I purchased the ones recommended in this thread a few posts up. However, I was sent the ones that others seem to be complaining about.

I have a set of the cheap ones and I've never had a problem with them. I guess some of you are just getting different bits from lower quality stocks.

Well, like I mentioned, mine work so far. I've opened up a couple of N64 games to clean up. It just takes a little bit of pressure for the tip to grip the head of the screw.
