States on back and on each bit : Cr-V steel.
Recently had to repair a mobile phone and found the poundland/poundworld precision screwdriver set was just like butter and rounded some of the tiny screws. In fact I went through all three sets of them and they all failed to move the screw and thier tips melted off and iron filings disappeared down into the phone. (one of the poundland tips rounded off)
I checked Halfords, Asda, all over the place for a decent precision set with the all important ph #000 bit but either slightly too expensive (Halfords £11.50 Top quality - screwdriver set not kit), or didn't carry the phillips #000 bit which is essential for opening mobiles etc...
Picked these up in BM Stores next door - An absolute bargain in comparison to what else is out there - had no problem unscrewing same #000 screws that melted the £1 sets. Dunno if real CR-V steel but tips have had no problems whatsoever and not even scratched even with real tough screws. (Tip shown after some tough use on 80 screws)
(Remember to keep the inner plastic cover or the bits go everywhere.)

I keep on saying is it chrome vanadium, with all these steel tools, socket sets etc. Where it isn't or they say 'carbon steel' it's useless.

Hey man, I am now thinking of taking my mobile phone apart just so I can enjoy the pleasure of working with this set - you've taken it too far!
It has a whole series of T (star/pentalobe) bits which you need to open the macbook/iphone starting with T4 but likely you need a smaller bit T2, T1 for the iphone.

You can get a 71-in-1 kit from Amazon which is Cr-V Steel for £16
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Screwdriver-Professional-Precision-Household-Appliances/dp/B01NAQNKGB/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1490123491&sr=8-12&keywords=71+in+1
or S2 Steel for £17 here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/InnoGear-Screwdriver-Professional-Electronics-Appliances/dp/B01LYBBEOK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1490123491&sr=8-1&keywords=71+in+1
But frankly the B&M store £3.99 31-in-1 Cr-V kit blows them out the water for the price and quality.
anyway I went to b&m and this set is £4.99, the 38 stubby set is £3.99
plus this set is £1.99 at maplin anyway and has been for over a year
