Just need the right sized screwdriver to unscrew 2 laptops…
Tried two computer shops but they only have expensive kits with many, many tools almost all of which I would never use….
Recommendations on where to get an appropriate sized quality screwdriver just to unscrew laptops please??
It's semi-urgent so physical shops are preferable….
Probably not horribly important but I'm in Melbourne.
A bunch of those xiaomi screwdriver set rip-offs available on Amazon with next day delivery it looks like too starting from around $15 and a whole bunch of different heads
Some of them have a plastic handle - I would be concerned about how durable they are long term. I picked one up and it was surprisingly ok for some very basic tasks.
I'd still find the original Xiaomi set for bigger or more difficult tasks.
I got the yesdex one iirc when it was on mega sale.
i dont think its a plastic handle.
only had to break it out a few times for some very fine electronic work where factories use the most ridiculous obscure/small screws.
If they are regular phillps-head screws then the local hardware/electronics shop should have what you need. If it's an apple device that uses proprietary screws then ebay.
If they are regular phillps-head screws
often not. I just replaced the battery for a MacBook Air and the battery included the screwdrivers I needed…
Nice. :)
Some of those included screwdrivers don't last long.
True, I had to finish the job with my Xiaomi Screwdriver so I wouldn't strip the screws.

I think it cost about $5 or so from memory.
Melb Central has a store.
Jaycar have screwdriver sets for this type of thing.
Try the $2 shops for small jewelers screw driver set.
Go Trojan from bunnings, or Amazon
RIP your warranty
Depends. I don't buy laptops that have that policy (MSI comes to mind)
Take your laptop to Bunnings and find the appropriate screwdriver you need if you don't want a larger multi-tip kit or quality iFixit kit. Not rocket science.
Alternatively, if you have Prime, this $15 kit delivers tomorrow: https://www.amazon.com.au/Hautton-Precision-Screwdriver-Stai…
You can usually check the manual for the laptop to confirm what type of screws it uses (could be Torx, Philips, something else).
