Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 32GB high speed (100MB/s) USB 3.0 install stick formatted as OS X Extended Journaled with a fresh install copy of 10.12.6 Sierra. Each OS only requires 8GB storage, so this 32GB drive has been partitioned down to an 8GB for the installer and a blank 24GB partition.
This USB stick can be used to install a fresh OS, restore a corrupt OS, or complete disk repairs and clean ups.
Important Note: Apple's authentication certificate for this installer has now expired. If you are having any problems please refer to our blog post below to help resolve the issue:

Please note: This is compatible with all machines from 2010 up to Mid 2016 (Machines shipped with anything later than 10.12.2 will not work with this install). Some machines may be part of an earlier range, but are refurbished by Apple at a later date, so have different OS requirements and compatibility. Please contact us with your machine details if you'd like to confirm compatibility of the OS.

Please note: This product is the purchase of a brand new 16GB USB 3.1 USB stick. No profit is made on the sale of the OS, which is a copyright of Apple.
Apple have details on their website on how to create these USB sticks if you already own the operating system, we are simply providing the service to make it straight forward for all users.
Reformatting or erasing this stick will allow it to operate as a normal external USB stick. But the OS install/recovery tool would no longer be serviceable. Any warranty provided on this product is for the USB stick and potential corruption of the install, but does not cover the erasing or reformatting of the stick.
The product is brand new, but the packaging has been opened in order to complete the install process.
The 12 month warranty covers the USB stick itself and not the OS or contents of the drive.
