The Beginner's Toolkit
You don't need a professional lab to start fixing laptops. Most common repairs—like replacing a keyboard, upgrading RAM, or swapping a screen—can be done with just a handful of specialized tools. We recommend starting with a high-quality precision screwdriver set (PH0, PH00, and Torx bits are essential), non-conductive nylon spudgers for prying plastic clips without damage, and an anti-static wrist strap to protect sensitive components.
