We've been putting together PCs for more than a decade and have a vast wealth of knowledge regarding everything you need to be adequately equipped, including a handy set of tools. Here are some of the best toolkits you should consider buying, whether you're replacing a hard drive or putting together a new build. If you're wondering how to build your own PC, we've also got you covered.
iFixit - Pro Tech Toolkit
From the Pros
The official toolkit from the professionals who document taking apart different products. You've got the basics right here, which includes a 64 Bit Driver Kit, anti-static wrist strap, angled ESD tweezers and more.
Packing your toolbox
The choice of which toolkit is best for you depends on what you need, how much you have available to spend, and how often you'll take apart hardware. Our recommendation for most PC owners goes to the iFixit Essential Electronics Toolkit. It's high-quality, houses plenty of tools, and is available at a budget-friendly price.
Should you want the best of the best, go with the Rosewill 146-piece toolkit. This kit has everything you'll need to tinker around your best PC cases, including some optional extras like tape, a flashlight, anti-static tag, and more. You'll need a screwdriver kit to make the process of building your own PC easier.
