All you need is 1 mini philips screwdriver, but you can buy a set at the dollar store. A small pan or something to catch screws would also be nice, and I'd take a magnet and rub it in the same direction a bunch of times on the screwdriver to make it magnetic, then store it with the magnet atached. Just make sure you mark them as "MAGNETIC!!!" and NEVER use them on enectrical/computer equipment.
For a little more advanced stuff, you'll need a soldering iron.
A little more, and you'll need a shotgun or sledgehammer.
and a shot glass

Look up… "New 10pc Precision Screwdriver Bit Set – Torx, Star, Phillips" on eBay, and check it out. I bought two of them, and it's a fairly tiny, precision screwdriver, and all of the bits fit in the handle it says. I'm not sure, because they haven't arrived yet, Lol but it's a pretty cool tool for $4.48 USD (free shipping). I would leave a link, but I'm not sure how to do it! Lol I'm not exactly a Rocket Surgeon on a computer!
Where's a good place online to get tools? I can google but I thought some might already have knowledge of good sites, good tools, for a good price. Magnetic screw driver, wire strippers, soldering iron, wrap for wired connections. I have a non-magnetic screwdriver which is not fun. I'm guessing you don't want your average solder iron, and I certainly don't have a wire stripper small enough for these little copters. I've looked at hobby shops and either do not find anything or the price is outrageous. Any suggestions are appreciated. Oh, and what about wire wrap? I read somewhere about liquid wrap?
