Choosing a screwdriver for repairing mobile phones and laptops

Sometimes you may need to access the insides of a laptop or mobile phone. This may be due to some kind of breakdown or to routine preventive cleaning. Below we will take a closer look at what tools are suitable for repairing mobile and laptops and what kind of kits are best to purchase.

Not always only specialists who are engaged in professional repair of equipment need to have a set of tools for laptops - sometimes they may be required for home use as well. Most screwdrivers and other related tools are almost always suitable for all models of laptops, tablets and mobiles, with the exception of those produced by the American brand Apple. Slightly different tools are provided for them.

A closer look at the notebook user's manual will show you how and with what you can easily open the notebook lid. The same is true for mobile phones. Do not forget about the manual: it can largely help solve many problems.

It should be noted right away that a big mistake of inexperienced users is opening a laptop or other small equipment with an ordinary flat screwdriver, since it very much damages the plastic and the case as a whole. Moreover, damage can even be done to the printed circuit board.

Today, many brands produce a variety of kits for cell phone repair and disassembly. For example, Thinkpad kits are very popular. There are seven screwdrivers for the screws, as well as slotted versions in a wide variety of sizes.

The cruciform designs are to be found with the Philips brand. You can also find handy plastic tweezers and a magnet for gripping small screws from the same brand.

Also today, Chinese screwdrivers for repairing mobile phones and laptops can be found on the market for related products. This is not to say that their quality is very poor, however, they serve much less than the same German ones. It is difficult to say how good low-quality screwdrivers from dubious Chinese manufacturers are, although at first they may well work.

When choosing the right kit for home use, it is very important to make sure that it contains not only the usual flat and Phillips screwdrivers, but also rare options - stars, which often come in handy in opening laptops and mobiles. Sometimes you may need hex options as well.

Since disassembling a laptop is not easy and at the same time very delicate, this process should be taken with all the attention. Next, we will consider the most popular sets that can be useful and which are worth paying attention to.

• Intertool set. It has three types of screwdrivers, which are made of high quality chrome-plated steel, they have rotating heads. For those for whom three screwdrivers are not enough, you can pay attention to the Intertool set with seven tools. These kits are considered time-tested, and therefore they are often recommended by experts.
• We also recommend paying attention to the Sigma 30 in one. Here, as many as 30 universal attachments are designed for one handle. This set is oversized and very comfortable. You can easily carry it with you wherever you go.
• For quick and high-quality disassembly of the laptop, you can use the Berg screwdriver set. It includes ten reversible universal attachments. The average cost of a set is one thousand rubles.
• Also, many brands have mini screwdrivers and electric screwdriverswhich are very easy to use.

The most important requirements for all screwdrivers are their strength, durability, practicality and reliability. It is on these criteria that it is very important to pay attention. In addition, great attention should be paid not only to the screwdriver bits, but also to their cases, which should also be reliable and of high quality. It is best not to save on such tools and kits with them.

The grips are best chosen from sturdy, corrugated steel. Such tools do not slip in the hands, and therefore they are very comfortable to work with. These small parts screwdrivers can be found at Sparta.

Most of the reviews about German and other European screwdrivers are positive. While users leave extremely negative reviews about Chinese screwdrivers, calling them disposable, although there are exceptions.

Users speak especially well of Torx, Phillips and TS screwdrivers, as well as other tools from these companies, more precisely, tweezers, suction cups, shovels and other types of related tools. But there are few positive reviews about the "star" screwdrivers from Aliexpress, since they are also Chinese and are made from very budgetary material.

Professional craftsmen are very pleased with the use of the kits, which include a convenient electric screwdriver. Despite the fact that the prices for such kits are higher and can significantly hit the pocket, their quality is excellent.
