iFixit introduces cheaper toolkits for cracking open consoles.

Why pay for tools you don’t need when repairing or modding a console? iFixit has released four new kits for the Switch, Xbox, Steam Deck, and PlayStation featuring only device-specific tools.

The $12.95 kits include a screwdriver with a small selection of bits, tweezers, a brush, picks, a spudger for prying open housings, and an anti-static wrist strap so you don’t accidentally fry your hardware.
