iFixit’s Essential Electronics Toolkit
ZDNet
As devices have become smaller and thinner, getting inside them to carry out repairs has become more and more difficult. Not only do you have to contend with tiny fasteners no bigger than grains of salt, and huge gobs of adhesive, but you also have to work around delicate ribbon cables that want to break at the drop of a hat.
The precision screwdriver bits consist of:
Phillips: 000, 00, 0, 1, 2Pentalobe: P2, P5Flathead: 1, 2.5, 4 mmTorx: T4, T5Torx Security: TR6, TR8, TR10SIM eject bit
Everything is held in place in a precision-cut foam tray, and the lid is held in place by strategically placed magnets.
All this for $20.
And don’t be thinking that this is some cheap toolkit made up of shoddy parts. I have one of these kits and let me tell you that everything in it is of the highest quality.
If you feel that you need more tools — and, in my mind, who doesn’t? — then iFixit has the bigger, more fully-featured Pro Tech Toolkit, which is a bargain at only $65.
