Gordon Checks Out iFixit's Repair Business Toolkit

Ive got the pro tech toolkit and the magnetic mats aswell and to start my repair journey im going to be replacing battery in an old iphone 5s

Somewhat bizarre decision to include a T3 and T5 screwdriver and no T4 despite the fact T4 is the most common type on newer MacBooks.

The price is really based on the lifetime warranty in that every piece is guaranteed to be replaced if it breaks. no matter how long you've had it. This is why some pieces included are used. The basic toolkit is cool to have but everything else you can get elsewhere for much cheaper price.

What are you talking about? Sure maybe it's a lot of money but last I checked that LTT screwdriver that you were shilling for by itself costs 70 bucks. As for the duplication, you can't tell me the spudgers, guitar picks, tweezers, and other small plastic tools aren't going to get damaged or lost over time. I would rather have a half dozen extra of those things in my kit rather than not when I needed them.

Novelty items at best.

very useful, I now know to save my money and skip this SKU.

With all the duplication, ifixit is giving YOU the business.

Thanks for this nice review.

Sometimes duplicates are nice. I've broken a few spudgers

If I didn't already own a handful of that stuff I'd certainly be interested. I should go see if they sell the case by itself

Bundling usually takes place when sales are down across the board and they want to move stagnant inventory.
I will not elaborate.

With all the duplication, I am on the fence about the value of this toolkit. Seems like they put together a bunch of stuff they sell separately into a nice bag and branded it as the ULTIMATE BUSINESS TOOLKIT. I will wait for a sale on this one before I bite.

II FUCKIINN LOVE IT

uh oh and a feeler gauge.

I probably wouldn't buy this set, as I already have the Pro and the Manta Kits. The Pro and the Manta kits have come in very handy for opening laptops in my previous I.T. job and in my personal life. I know there are some that will criticize the price of these sets, but as someone who has had cheap sets, these really do feel high quality. I've used the guitar picks to shuck hard drives from the WD Elements external enclosures to put in my NAS and NAS expansion bay.

It looks convenient, but a bit expensive.

Looks like it would be a good deal vs buying each of those separately...which for the most part I've kind of done already 😅

Use the brush to manhandled the 3 years of dust and lint thats been wedged into their laptop's heatsinks.

Elbow looks ashy lotion that thing lol love you sir❤

Do they sell the bag separately?

I was thinking of putting together a portable kit like this for myself. May end up getting one of these instead, but if not it's at least a good reference of tools to have for mobile device repair, minus redundant tools (though some tools it isn't bad to have a backup).

Gordon Mah "Ming The Merciless" Ung takes a break from conquering the galaxy to show off his tools.

Ugh advert..

It'd be nice to be able to just buy the bag.
