The tools themselves are worth the money
Having done 6 Joycon shell swaps and 3 Joycon stick replacements for myself and family, I can tell you that the tools (screwdrivers with a magnetic tip, tweezers) are amazing for electronics DIY tinkering. I even repaired my 3DS (which was incompletely reassembled after DIY work due to a loose ribbon cable) using the tools.The joysticks are fine too. Haven't had any problems so far, 3 months in.

Great and Simple Fix!
Really can't complain for the price and everything provided. The joysticks work upon installation. One was completely fine and didn't need calibration. The other was a bit off center and did need calibration which did the trick. Can't speak on longevity yet but overall, it's great buy and would be way better than your current heavily used/drifting sticks.

Very nice quality and complete kit!
Ok I got it on sale which made it a better deal but these are perfect replacements for the switch. The tool kit provided came with exactly everything I needed to do the parts switch! This is exactly the kind of repair kits they should be selling all the time. A+++

Worked perfectly
I was having really bad joycon drift, so I ordered this kit. It has every tool you need to get the job done. The only way they could improve the product is including instructions for carrying out the replacement, but it's pretty easy to figure out if you're familiar with this sort of thing.I did lose a spring on one of the trigger buttons during the repair, so it would've been nice if they included a few of those, but most people wouldn't need them. I just happened to hit the button while I had my joycon open and the spring flew off into the distance. I put it back together without the spring and it's still working okay for now.

try it you will like it
I actually don't have great expectations for this price, but the surprise to me after I completed and replaced this accessory is indeed, it works very well ps. It is recommended not to use that rubber cover, it will affect the sensitivity of the remote sensing

Good replacement parts. Not OEM, but good enough. Unnecessary extras.
So the parts fit great, and the replacement procedure took around 25 minutes with little prior experience. They give you more than enough tools to get the job done, just make sure you have a video or written guide to help you along the way.So now the issues I have... The parts aren't as good as the OEM ones, the coating on the replacement doesn't cover as much area as the original (the sides and under the stick), and doesn't feel as grippy and soft to the touch as the original. The diameter of the top of the stick is also smaller. They give you more tools than you really NEED to have with this kit. The extra pry tool (stick type) and the extra Y-tip screwdriver are unnecessary to have. The brush would be nice if all you had to do was clean your old joystick internally but replacing it is just an easier task. The joystick add-on grips are bad for control. They're too thick with the smaller diameter replacements, but fine on OEM joysticks. The add-on grips make certain angles on the stick impossible. If you are replacing joysticks, or cleaning them internally these don't really do anything to stop that from happening again. They just replace the original stick and get the controller working again as normal.Overall a great product, with room to improve. A great buy as a fix for this design flaw.

Great kit and well worth the money!
When I started getting drift on my right joycon, I was hesitant to try fixing it myself because I have no exprience fixing electronics, but had limited options. I was NOT going to shell out $80 for new joycons that would likely have the same issue, or part with my joycon and be Switch-less for who knows how long during lock down. I'm so glad I bought this kit to fix it myself because it's absolutely worth it!The kit is perfect for replacing the left or right analog stick (they're the same!). It came with everything that was listed in the description, but I only used the 2 screwdrivers (not the black one), tweezers and 1 replacement analog stick (2nd one is my backup). The screwdrivers were the perfect size (no stripping, didn't need the extra screws!), and the tweezers made installing the ribbon cable a piece of cake. Fixed it in 30 min, but would have been faster if my right trigger hadn't fallen out. My incompetent self couldn't figure out how to put it back in, so really half the time was spent on that. Despite that setback, even someone with no experience can do it :)As instructed, I went to calibrate the joycon, and unfortunately, there is a SLIGHT drift to the top left that didn't go away. However, it had no impact on gameplay at all, so I decided to just leave it rather than reopening the joycon and using the 2nd replacement. I also noticed that this analog stick is a little stiffer than the original (doesn't move as much when moved, can feel a little resistance), but again, there's no effect on gameplay, so I don't mind.Overall I'm very happy with this kit! It isn't a perfect fix, but its 100x better than what I was dealing with, and I now have a usable joycon!

These work!
These ,as long as nothing else is wrong, will fix the joycon drift. I followed a YouTube video, was very simple & easy to replace. I know you can send them to nintendo for free repair. But this is less of a hassle and came out to $10 to fix both of them. I would however suggest buying a separate precision screwdriver set. I got one on here for $18. This does come with 2 for you, but they are poor quality and I got 1 use before the tips got bent.

Good quality kit... Until it wasn't.
I needed to change a stuck analogue stick and didn't want to pay for a whole new controller. The kit had all the screwdrivers, screws, tweezers etc. included and they're pretty sturdy.There's no instructions but a quick YouTube search will show you the steps. Some of the components in the switch can be quite fiddly but if you take your time it's fairly straightforward. I managed to change out the analogue stick in about 45 minutes and it works perfectly again.EDIT: Unfortunately after a week of play the stick started drifting pretty badly making a lot of games unplayable. I was really disappointed as I was genuinely pleased with the quality of the tools. I guess they have included cheap components. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.

Great... for one week -_-
Came quickly, fixed it easily, and worked well...For a couple of days. Now my drift is much worse than my old joysticks and i cant ever move upwards. Whenever i press the right stick or move it up, it drifts downwards. I was so happy first but now this is just a pain and i might aswell have kept my old drifty ones. Not worth the effort when it cant even last a week. I hope i had a faulty one and they arent all like this. Otherwise do not buy, save your time and just send to nintendo to repair your joycons.

great kit, easy to use
No instructions, however I was able to figure out how to remove and install these easily enough by simply looking carefully at the inside of the Joy Cons. There are plenty of good instruction videos on YouTube probably, so I'd recommend watching a few if you aren't confident. Kit works as described, and the Joy Cons work like new after fitting with no signs of stick drift returning after a few weeks of heavy use.

Works with some minor issues
The media could not be loaded. The thumbsticks is not able to reach full movement when pressing it upwards. Other directions are fine.I don't notice it that much as I mostly play RPGs, but would probably be more of an issue if you play games that requires fine controls like FPS or platforming games. Although for those games, you would probably be using a pro controller anyway.

Good for the price. Remember to configure sticks after.
Install is relatively straight forward although somewhat fiddly. Take your time. The battery is stuck down with a small amount of double sided tape. The plectrum style plastic tool isn't very good because it is mostly thick and has only a small amount of insertable tool surface. Once you've installed the sticks make sure you go into your Switch settings to callibrate your sticks to prevent any small post install drift. Sticks work fine.
