The  includes the Pro Tech Toolkit, which itself has a driver with dozens of bits and an extender in a magnetic case, various tweezers, spudgers, and a suction cup gripper, plus an anti-static wristband, all organized into a tool roll. It includes the add-on Marlin screwdriver set, with 15 dedicated screwdrivers for the most common screws. On top of that you get two more heavy-duty suction \u201ciOpener\u201d tools, and anti-clamp, a magnetic \u201cFixMat\u201d for holding screws and other pieces while you\u2019re working, a folding anti-static mat, various other picks, spudgers, tweezers, an anti-static brush, utility tape, cleaning cloths, a dust blower, and opening tools. On top of <em>all that<\/em>, the kit includes a set of digital calipers, a digital multimeter, and a battery blocker. <\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s not enough, it has a super-organized messenger bag for all this stuff (lift with your legs!), a carabiner, an iFixit cloth patch and lapel badge, and a Self-Repair Manifesto poster, just in case anyone is ever in doubt about how serious you are when it comes to fixing gadgets.  <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a big investment to be sure, but this kit includes basically everything you need to repair anything smaller than a home appliance, with the possible exception of a soldering kit. And every piece of the kit is covered by iFixit\u2019s lifetime guarantee, meaning a free replacement for anything that breaks, for as long as you own the kit.
