What’s The Best iFixit Toolkit For My Repairs?

The New UK ‘Right To Repair’ Law

July 2021 saw the UK take big strides in its efforts to extend the lifespan of consumer products, ranging from household appliances to electronic devices, with the introduction of new ‘right to repair’ legislation.

This new law is designed primarily to increase the longevity of devices, with manufacturers now being legally obligated to make sure spare parts are available for up to 10 years following the product being discontinued. The government is also aiming to tackle the problem of electronic waste, or e-waste as it is commonly known, as part of growing efforts to combat pollution and cutting the country’s carbon footprint.

Why Should You Choose iFixit Tools and Drive Bit Sets?

iFixit have quickly established themselves as a major player in the global fixing and right to repair communities since their formation in 2003. Whilst there are many manufacturers producing repair tools, fixing kits and drive bit sets designed for working on electronic and household appliances, it’s important to use the right tools for the job. High quality tools may be slightly more expensive, but they are generally produced to a higher standard than cheap tools and are often more comfortable and safer to use.

Confident in their products and their quality, iFixit offer a Lifetime Guarantee - stating that if something breaks, they will replace it. Accu customers can purchase iFixit tools and toolkits from our online store, with the assurance that the products are covered under this same lifetime warranty. Each of these iFixit toolkits contain a driver bit set that boasts a magnetised bit case, and features a built-in sorting tray designed to help segregate small components and prevent them from being lost during essential repairs and maintenance.

With this in mind - Accu want to help our customers choose the right iFixit Toolkit for their repair - so here's our review of the pro's and con's of our Top 6 iFixit Toolkits including the new Minnow & Moray Toolkits.
