iFixit might be a familiar brand name for you from all of the helpful teardown videos of various electronics that’ve hosted on YouTube. Well, they also sell an extremely practical and high quality toolkit that helps you do the same. For the final hours of Black Friday, Amazon is offering the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit for electronics, smartphones, gaming consoles, PCs and laptops, and tablets for only $59.96. It normally retails for $75 and we’ve only seen a price drop only once this year back in May. This is one of the very best tool kits you can buy for disassembling and repairing your electronics — including your Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck — without spending hundreds of dollars on a commercial kit.
iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit
The iFixit Pro Tech Tookit contains pretty much every tool you’ll ever need to get inside your electronics. The parts list consists of: a 64 precision bit set that includes flathead, screwdriver, hex, torx, and star bits as well as plenty of other bits you’ve probably never seen or heard of, the screwdriver handle, flex extension, tweezers, opening tools like pry bars, picks, and spudgers, and more, all packed in a hard shell magnetic case. iFixit also includes a generous lifetime warranty: they’ll replace any of the pieces that break, even if you caused it.
I’ve owned this toolkit for several years and it has served me very well. I’ve changed the shells on my Joy-Con controllers, swapped the SSD in my ASUS ROG Ally, rebuilt my gaming PC quite a number of times, replaced the heatsink on my GPU, modified my keyboard, opened up my fishing reels for maintenance, and more with the help of this toolkit. Aside from some of the more disposable plastic spudger and picks (they supply quite a few), everything still looks and works as new. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another.
