It’s easy to find DIY repair kits that include a diverse mix of screwdriver bits, spudgers, picks, and other tools that let you tinker with the innards of your gaming controllers and consoles. But Hoto’s kit stands out from the rest because it includes a fantastic electric screwdriver and a magnetic pad on top of other extras, while costing less. At Amazon, you can get this kit for $69.99 (normally $109.99), which is $5 shy of how much the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit costs.
I already have iFixit’s tools, and while I love them, I probably would have opted for this Hoto kit if the choice had been available at the time. My workspace is lacking in pieces that it provides, like a magnetic pad to keep all of my screws from moving around, plus its case has a dedicated area for easily demagnetizing or re-magnetizing its screwdriver bits. And, of course, the electric screwdriver. If you’re prone to hand or wrist pain, or you just would rather save time and effort, having a screwdriver that does the work for you is essential.
