Tools for the bench, in the order you reach for them
The tools GA Tech NZ uses on its own repairs, sold to the New Zealand trade and to anyone who would rather buy once than strip a screw head. The categories follow the sequence of an actual repair: open it, remove the screws, lift the parts, test, then seal it back up.
Screwdrivers: precision Pentalobe, Tri-point, Phillips and Torx drivers
Prying and opening tools: spudgers, picks, suction cups and blades
Repair kits bundling the common drivers and prying tools in one case
Tweezers for connectors, flex cables and screws
Adhesives, glue and tapes for resealing screens and back covers
Soldering tools, logic board tools and test tools for board-level work
Organisation tools and the essentials that stay on the bench
Buying repair tools in New Zealand
GA Tech NZ has run a repair workshop since 2017 and stocks what it uses rather than a generic catalogue, which is why the ranges are narrow and the sizes are the ones that actually wear out. Stock is held in Queenstown rather than ordered in per sale, so orders placed before the 2pm cut-off dispatch the same working day and reach most New Zealand addresses overnight. Local pickup is available by appointment, and repair shops and resellers can request trade pricing through wholesale deals. Parts to go with the tools are under spare parts.
