iFixit Anti-Static Project Tray
There are a few unwritten rules to follow when repairing small electronics. One of them is that all components of the device being repaired, i.e. screws, hardware, etc., are perfectly organized. Sometimes it is enough to replace even a single screw and the problem is suddenly there. In this case, a special magnetic pad can be used, which we will talk about more below, but in addition to it, the repairman can also reach for the iFixit Anti-Static Project Tray. It is a small parts organizer with 20 small and 2 large compartments, which is made of antistatic plastic, thanks to which absolutely all parts are safe in it. Its price is very pleasant, it comes out to only 139 CZK.

Above we looked at one set of AlzaPower precision tools, in this paragraph we will look at another. In particular, we also selected the AlzaPower ToolKit TK250 for our article, which I also used some time ago. What will surprise you with this set is the aluminum retractable cover, which can be opened and closed by gently pressing upwards. All tools and accessories are hidden and protected in this case, as it wraps around it and holds everything in place with magnets. This means that you can take the whole set, throw it in your backpack, for example, and everything will always be in its place without opening or falling out. It includes an aluminum screwdriver with a rotating handle, which really has a perfect grip, and 24 steel bits with a working depth of 12 mm, which is 30% more than normal sets.

iFixit Magnetic Project Mat
Even if you only do a basic service, i.e. replacing the battery or display, depending on the device, you will be working with several screws. In addition to the fact that there are often three different types of screws inside iPhones, they are also of different lengths. For this reason, it is absolutely essential that the repairman in question has an overview of each screw, and that he is able to accurately determine in retrospect where the pulled screw belongs. If, for example, a longer screw were to be screwed in, it could happen that some component, such as the motherboard, could be damaged. The iFixit Magnetic Project Mat can help with the organization of screws and other parts, i.e. a magnetic mat on which notes and information can also be written. It starts at 429 CZK, with the fact that it can possibly save a lot more money if the device is damaged.

iFixit iOpener Kit - Alza - CZK 689
Most smartphones these days use glue that holds the display together with the body, or other components as well. In order for this glue to soften during repair and get into the intestines, the repairman must heat it beforehand. Some individuals use, for example, a hair dryer or a heat gun for heating, but this is definitely not an ideal procedure, as you can destroy the device with high heat. Exactly for these types of repairs, iFixit has prepared a special iOpener Kit, in which, in addition to the basic opening tool, there is an iOpener, i.e. a special tool that is heated and then placed on the desired place to be heated. Heat is often your friend when repairing smartphones, and the iOpener Kit will definitely be appreciated by every repairman. For 689 CZK, it is also a great choice.

Most precision kits have one screwdriver to which the bits from the package are then attached. However, this solution is not completely ideal in all cases - sometimes the repairman simply does not have the opportunity to change the bit while performing the operation. This is precisely why classic screwdrivers are available, even precision ones. The iFixit company offers them under the name Marlin 15 Screwdriver Set. As the name suggests, there are 15 of these screwdrivers in the package. Specifically, we are talking about three Phillips, five torx, two three-point (Y), two pentalobe, two flat and one resistance. Each of these screwdrivers has a swivel top with a knurled, rubberized and ergonomically shaped handle, the tips are coated with black oxides and all screwdrivers are packed in a textile case.
