Two types of iFixit toolkit?

[FunkyFeatures]

I am looking into buying an iFixit pro tech toolkit, looking it up on amazon, there is two I can pick between:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/iFixit-IF145-072-1-Tech-Toolkit-Pieces/dp/B007XGWQ2Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448472201&sr=8-1&keywords=ifixit+pro+tech+toolkit - £46

http://www.amazon.co.uk/iFixit-Toolkit-extra-Anti-Static-Wrist/dp/B00Y3PG9TY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1448472201&sr=8-4&keywords=ifixit+pro+tech+toolkit - £137

 

What is the differences between these two since the price is so drastically different? Looks like the expensive one has an extra wrist strap, but is that really it?

The £137 price one looks like a bullshit rip off

 

the £46 one is officially from ifixit

 

the expensive one is from some 3rd party resellers, hence not prime and not fulfilled my amazon

They are exactly the same. Purchase the cheaper of the two

the 137 dollar one is complete rip off you can buy it if your money is really burning a hole in ur pocket.

The cheaper one is sold by iFixit, the more expensive one is by a third party.  Get the one officially sold by iFixit.

the seller on the more expensive one is Shiningstore EU, the cheaper one is actually sold by iFixit.  they are identical, one is just ripping you off

[FunkyFeatures]

I have never noticed the "fulfilled by Amazon" - definitely something I will look out for in the future - thanks for the rapid answer!

This is the price on the official iFixit store, so one has to wonder why that third party is selling it for more than double the official price.

FYI, iFixit will be upgrading that toolkit with a new version

Yep that's the updated version.  The core part of the kit will be the screwdriver set, which I think they've modified a bit to include the most common screwdriver heads needed for current tech on the market.  But I don't think there's really a big change here, perhaps 2-3 screwdriver heads being replaced.  The case holding the tool bits have changed though, now the cover is a magnetic parts holder.

 

It's the rest of the kit I think that has the biggest changes, the selection of prying tools, spudgers, tweezers that are included.

 

They've also seemed to have lowered the price of the previous version, you can see it on that page.
