    This kit is great for people looking to repair/customize electronics. I’ve been using it for a while now and it hasn’t failed me yet. All the tools are great quality and get the job done, and allowed me to take apart an iPhone 7 in a matter of minutes (see picture)

    My Son’s PS5 was continuously overheating and shutting down. I purchased this kit to fix the issue. I had some tools but not everything needed. This kit had everything I needed. Once apart I was able clean all dust that was causing the issues and then put back together. No issues with it shutting down after that. I will say my son was a little nervous as he watched.

    I recently picked up a new "open box" HP laptop from Best Buy. I got a great deal and is the BEST laptop that I've ever used. I, of course, wanted to upgrade it but found myself not having the tools to open it up properly. It's a long story but, suffice to say, a lot of my tools were stolen/lost recently. I've only used this kit a few times, but it made getting into my new HP laptop a dream. It has the proper sized bits for getting to the unique sized screws, the proper plastic tools for opening up the laptop without scratching it, and the bits are even magnetic which helps keep you from dropping them. Overall, I'm very satisfied and happy with this kit. If you find yourself wanting to get into your PCs, laptops, or other electronic devices, this is the one and only toolkit you'll need.

    DIY repair toolkit, Great potential for Pro

    This kit saved me few hundred dollars. When I wanted to upgrade Ram and SSD for my old windows laptop, Best Buy Total Tech estimated $250+ for the installation. I would provide them the Ram and SSD myself and they would just open and install it (running some diagnostic as well, which I think, not required, Windows can do it by default). I bought this with unused expiring reward certificates, and easily opened my laptop by referring some YouTube videos and replaced laptop HDD with New Samsung EVO SSD and upgraded RAM to it by myself. After that, my 6+ years budget laptop becomes great again and saves me few hundred bucks. This toolkit has immense potential and can be used many DIY repair program for various electronic devices if you know how to do it. I may not utilize it extensively for any device repair by myself ( I am pretty novice and did one time out of desperation) but even with only onetime usage also, it fulfilled the value I paid for. This is great toolkit for DIY repair program and and essential tool for Right to Repair movement. Attached screenshot is what I did for my Windows Laptop (pretty basic, any body can do)!

    I ordered this kit specifically because I did not have the proper tools to work on current gen laptops and AiO computers. Used it for the first time today to do some upgrades to an HP Pavilion AiO desktop PC, and didn't need any other tools other than what is in this kit to get the job done. Perfect.

    Awesome laptop kit that I used to replace my laptop memory which I also bought from best buy. It was a 32gb Corsair laptop memory stick. Storer associate was very helpful in assisting my purchase.

    This product is great. I fixed an early 2000s electronic word processor and diagnosed an issue with my headphones. I was so proud of fixing the word processor that I enthusiastically stuck an IFIXIT sticker on it. Looking forward to future fixes!

    This toolkit is an amazing value. I purchased it so I can service and clean my 2021 Macbook Pro 16 every couple years to keep it running at it’s best, and this tool kit didn’t disappoint! If you are looking for a toolkit for electronics this will be perfect for you.
