*Updated Below* Worked great for one controller, but not the second
I was able to fix one of my controllers, but the second one still drifts after being replaced. It's less bad, but it isn't like new. I like the slide locks and the tool kit. I'd give a 5 star easy if both of the joysticks worked.*update* the seller reached out to me and sent me a complete set of joysticks and tools since the original joysticks didn't work. The new ones are working. They deserve 5 stars for standing behind their products.

2 packs, 4 Joysticks, 1 Dud - AMAZING COMPANY
Update* 10 May 2020So the company saw my review, and decided to send me an entire kit free of charge!! For the dud, they sent me a WHOLE freaking kit. I was excited to get it, not b.c it has a new joystick, but because the company read my review and cared enough about its product to want to make it right. Buy your Drift repair kit from this company!!! They are worth your monies!!Original*So I have 2 sets of controllers and both had drift.I bought two packs of these to fix both. Installed 1 set, all was perfect, installed left Joycon on second set perfect. Installed right Joycon on the second set .. it won't center. So I calibrated again and again. Still won't center nor will it hit the calibration line on the bottom left. It is like the joystick is stuck slightly forward and to the right.The 3 that work are awesome. The Tweezers were solid metal and great quality. The pry tools were of great quality. The screwdrivers SUCKED bad. They stripped themselves into points on the first controller. Thankfully I have my own set of drivers I used instead.I would love for the company to send me a replacement single joystick for that one controller ... just a thought :-) .. so I can give a full 5 stars.All in all, do not hesitate to buy this one. I think I just got a bad joystick, it happens.

So far so good
Pre-note: If I don't update this to say things went wrong, it's because I didn't have problems.I had the good old joycon drift, and then I put these new sticks in, and now I don't have drift anymore. The included tools made it really easy to open the joycons, though you should of course make sure you have a guide opened online while you work on the tiny electronics. In my opinion, these work better than the originals ever did, they have a slightly notched interior construction that lets the stick rest on extreme vertical/horizontal positions, kind of like how the gamecubes outer shell grooves felt around the stick. A normal stick has this over-smooth rotation that makes it so you're never quite sure if you're pressing toward an extreme direction.As everyone else said, make sure you calibrate after installation.

See tutorials before opening the joycons.
(Attached pics show the tools after being used)Basically this product worked just as intended, both of my joycons were drifting for more than a year, Nintendo is fixing that for free but it isn't currently available in my country (Mexico, cause LATAMEL just makes a lot of excuses even when Nintendo made it official). So tired of that I decided to buy this and I'm not dissapointed.I recommend to see tutorials first and know what to do overall, since left and right joycon are build totally different! it was harder for me to reeplace the right joystick than the left one (I ended up desoldering the R button by accident). I know this company offers tutorials, even a small business card within the kit, but to be honest I didn't see them haha.I've opened and fixed controls a lot of times before, so I have other screw drivers, and I must tell that the ones in this kit are really comfortable and easy to use, to the point I didn't have to use the reeplace screws that come with this kit since the default ones in the joycons were taken out smoothly and without problem.The tools and pieces are well made overall, and it was a nice touch that their joysticks are wired green instead of blue (like default) so no confusions about what joystick had to be reeplaced (Attached pic shows the default joycon joysticks).Another thing to keep in mind is that after reeplacing the joysticks it's necessary to recalibrate them in order for them to detect correctly the dead zones and the neutral position. That's done in the switch configuration system, once done the joycons work just perfectly fine.In conclusion I would recommend buying this kit, it's nice for a "do it yourself" repair, everything arrived just as promised and within the delivering time, I waited a week to make this review and even when it's not a long time I've had no issues with my joycons at all, tho I only use them when I use the switch in portable mode.

Great product but with a minor issue
(UPDATE AT END) I ordered this to replace my left joy sticks on 2 seperate left joy-cons that had exteme drift that made the controlleres unusable the sticks were easy to install (for me at least) and it came with a great sturdy set of screw drivers I installed the joy sticks did a joy-con update on both aswell as recalibrated the thumb stick but sadly 1 had a slight down right stick that showed up in the calibration I reset my system and recalibrated the stick again and it was fixed but now there is a slight dead zone in the area that was stuck during calibration they function fine no drifting at all but there is a dead zone in that down right area that causes missed imputs or stuttered imputs that is quite annoying and very sad the sticks feel so well made and very reponsive but that one issue is very dissapointing I still highly recommend this product if you are having drift issues and need a quick replacement.(Update) should have updated alot sooner but after quite a few month after I installed the new sticks there is stick drift with the replacements at times it's been several more month there is still drift but not as bad as with the joysticks that come factory would have been at this point and I can still enjoy games with the drift on the replacement sticks without the drift causing any noticeable effect during any gameplay I still recommend this product
