iFixit Launches $34.95 Megalodon Kit With 16 Long Bits for Hidden Appliance Screws

Summary
$34.95 buys iFixit’s first repair tool aimed specifically at household appliances, furniture and other jobs where standard precision drivers cannot reach recessed fasteners.
The Megalodon kit centers on 16 bits with 2-inch shanks—double the typical 1-inch length—plus a push-to-lock Swivel Grip Cap that switches from free-spinning speed to higher-torque driving.
iFixit is pitching the tool at vacuums, coffee makers and similar products that often get discarded over a single inaccessible internal screw rather than a major failure.
That hardware gap still leaves a broader repair barrier: even as right-to-repair laws expand to appliances in several U.S. states, service manuals, diagnostics and replacement parts remain inconsistent.
