Repairing phones - What tools do the community recommend?

Noxz

Hey!

As the title says, I'm starting to repair phones for friends and family. But the tools that follows some of the screens you get off ebay arrent really good enough. Do anyone here know something that will last longer and dont ruin the screws?

 

Thanks.

 

Stay awesome,

Stay classy.

I used a Stanley Knife (I cracked the LCD on my iPod using that)

And after that I rage quit and hit the device on the table and then the power button broke.

(Things that were bad with my ipod after that, Broken Home Button, Broken LCD, Broken Power Button & Bad Battery.)
