For taking apart and repairing his electronics, Adam finds the iFixit line of bit driver kits more than meet the task. Their repair kits feel good to use, will last, and have an incredible range of bits that fit the tiniest screws in your gear--including those with tamper-proof pins. Adam champions the mission of Right to Repair, and policies that would give consumers the ability to open up hardware they've purchased to modify, tinker with, and repair them.

I'm a mobile device technician and I use there tool line, its fantastic and never a problem
@Adam Savage's Tested, no right to repair T-shirt coming out?
I want the right to own a physical copy of my video games because i suck at remembering passwords or they decide to update my password to a dead account i have lost hundreds of dollars because of that. I want the days back when i could pop an install disk to reload a game just because i want to. Companies want to sell licenses and not the product they produce.
what's more important, this affects the whole world, so I'm 100% for the right for repair for USA
I'm all for it
Anything that promotes right to repair deserves an extra like!
Cool slow mo
But I'll stick to the method my pops showed my about 25 years ago
Take a regular bug zapper and place about where you placed the gun and walk away
45 minutes later not a yellow jacket moving in sight
He exclaimed that when one dies they emit a pheromone that tells all if them to attack and every last one committed suicide trying to eliminate the bug zapper " threat"
💯 I should be able to fully maintain what I own
Anything that promotes just how anti-consumer Apple are, deserves visibility. Try dealing with Apple through an escalation, and find out how much they don’t care about the actual customer. Obtuse support and illegal shitting on consumer rights. Jessica Barocio I’m talking about you and the way you think you can dictate to the customer!
EXACTLY!
All these companies and their blue hair liberal employees can rot in hell where they belong. RIGHT TO REPAIR is not up for debate and neither is the 2nd amendment. TRUMP 24
Back in my father's day, when you bought a new piece of equipment, a tool or an amplifier etc, you also received the schematics showing you what was what and where it was at. Nowadays you'll be lucky to get an instruction manual on how to use that darn thing!!!
"Back in the day" I was able to buy service or repair manuals for all my electronic equipment, no such luck today.
Few years back I was having some issues with my Oil Burner cutting out and was scratching my head trying to figure out the issue. It was close to xmas and I couldn't get a Boiler Service Tech to come out. I tried contacting the company that assembles and sells the boilers but they wouldn't talk to me. So I took a chance and contacted the company that manufactured the oil burner; an Italian company. I received a reply the next day with the service and installation manuals, exploded parts diagrams (with part numbers), and the diagnostic procedure.
Thankfully there are still some companies out there that realise, it's best not to bite the hand that feeds you...
I have an old Troybilt rototiller and all the documentation that came with it. Tells you everrrrrrrrrrything. It's beautiful.
I just recently bought a honda branded honda brush cutter. It came with a full service manual including explosion diagrams, etc.
What's even more infuriating is that companies act like schematics are their super secret sauce and would instantly go under if they were leaked, when in fact the device itself is it's own schematic. It just takes (a lot) more time (and a multimeter) to read it.
I love you for the John Deere reference. As a farmer by trade, thank you.
John Deere started this. And likely would have been fairly successful in quietly getting their way without that much resistance... If Apple didnt step in an open their big mouth and involve 'the internet' and tech heads. Apple getting involved, i think, cause alot more resistance against them and John Deere than i think they expected. lol.
@@lyianx I'm not sure John Deere would of gotten their way without much resistance. As Adam said in the video, farmers are the original/ultimate DIY'ers. Farmers need the ability to repair their equipment on the go as break downs happen. It takes to much time to load the tractor/equipment onto a flatbed and haul it to the mechanic shop and wait for them to fix it and send it back. That process can be days to weeks in some scenarios. When you have a crop that needs to be harvested, waiting just a few days can have a serious impact in yield/quality which impacts revenue/profit.
Taking away farmers ability to fix it themselves would be met with much resistance. That one act has the potential to destroy a farmers livelihood.
I miss the original approach steve jobs had towards iphones they were super easy to work on everything was labeled and numbered to the sequence it should be removed and placed back
Mate gotta also remember these new John Deere tractors are seriously high tech pieces of equipment and I totally understand the ‘right to repair’ but some of these things you’d want a factory trained technician touching it because at the end of the day your ‘right to repair’ may cost you a lot more then the bill from the dealer purely because you don’t know what your looking at. We go to trade school for a reason to fix your machines. We don’t come to your farm claiming to know it all and try and fix it with no background knowledge.
@@benfairhall5331 I think it still should be the farmer's decision, whether to take the risk of repairing it themselves and potentially screw it up (and learn something while doing it) or not
after all they bought the damn thing they should be able to burn it down if they want to, why shouldn't they be able to try and fix it?
Having watched Smarter Everyday's video on farmers and their equipment, I cannot agree more with the Right to Repair movement. They need to be able to maintain things themselves when out in the middle of nowhere, not wait around for a repair guy to show up.
Time is money!
Not just farmers, Right to Repair for everyone is critical to keeping our society free!
iFixit also contributes greatly to the community with their teardown and repair guides.
I've had my IFixit kit for several years. When I bought it they also sold specific kits for certain tasks that included replacement screens, batteries, grounding metallic tape precut for the device, etc.
I've been an electronics tech/engineer/hobbyist for over 40 years, so encountering the ubiquitous "No User Serviceable Parts Inside" is a 'Hold my Beer' challenge to me, and I've never had a problem repairing the gear in question assuming I had the proper tools... IFixit has never let me down.
@@davidbonner4556 WHAT ABOUT GAMERS NEXUS KIT? OR XIAOMI "MIJIA" KIT??
@@stevethea5250 GN kits dont include things like Penatalobe bits and are always out of stock, Xiaomi does not actually support R2R. I actually just bought a $20 knockoff Ifixit kit and I love it, only complaint so far is that the actual driver is a bit cheap, but considering it competes with the Pro Tech kit which is something like $80, I can deal with it
Louis Rossman will be notified.
I thought he was already a fan, no?
I love how his name is right there! I support the right to repair!
And as always, I hope you learned something!
First person that came to mind when "Right to Repair" was said. Dude is a legend now.
Rossman has talked about ifixit a lot. He recently talked about an article they had on their website. ifixit have a lot of information regarding The Right to Repair fight.
In the last few years, I have become a firm believer in, “The right to repair”! This tool tip is one of the greatest ones that you have done Adam! Thank you so much!
When I was a kid, you were one of my favourite people on the planet (Mythbusters). I'm super grateful that you continue that journey here, on youtube. Since I was about 12 I was always doing some crazy and unreasonable shit, like opening up power tools, electronics, connecting hifi speakers to a desktop ones (i had no amp back then), gathering shit people would throw away, etc.
I'm 26 now, running a woodshop / maker workshop in Gdansk, PL where I spend most of my time. It's my second year since I quit regular job, just me, tools and the ideas for a living I come up with. Mostly furniture, as it's what I'm equipped for the best + it gives good money for new tools.
Thank you Adam. You really had a big influence on my life and still you are a great inspiration.
I could literally listen to Adam talk for hours and I would never get bored.
I love how excited he gets about the smallest things! :D
Agreed, but Right to Repair is not a small thing.

They may seem like "small things" but they also fall firmly in the "things that matter immensely" bin. Not to mention, being able to rationally and logically make accurate points and statements are a tremendous talent!
I’m a Brit and I wholeheartedly approve of Adam’s use of the word “shite”. 👍
It's just such a useful alternative to shit.

Apple: You weren't supposed to do that.
I still have every bit for my ifixit kit, but tweezers and spudgers walk away from me almost instantly.
Also this Nov 3 Election, MA voters have an opportunity to actually change their right to repair. Question 1 on the Massachusetts general ballot the "Right to Repair Law" concerns automobile electronic data and voting yes would require auto manufacturers selling cars in MA to standardize on an open data platform that mechanics and owners can use to diagnose and repair their cars outside of the walled garden. Just something to think about if you vote in MA.
That would change a lot even outside of MA just like how the EU GDPR changed how websites operate all over the world.
Thanks for sharing that!
@The Program That's not an actual motivating reason for why companies do this. It's a post hoc rationalization that companies have come up with to try to justify their anti-consumer, anti-competitive behavior of locking customers into proprietary systems so that they can make more money on maintenance and repairs.
@@NetAnon Oh absolutely! I mean look at the way that California's legislation on car emissions have already effected the entire United States. It seems unlikely that if Question 1 passes in MA, and auto manufacturers are required to create an open data platform that they would continue to develop two sets of telemetry systems for states with and without Right to Repair laws on the books (well, hopefully)
@@tested Also I believe that a Digital Right to Repair Bill is also working it's way through the MA State Congress with H.218 and S. 107. I think it is in its second committee. I am sorry I am not an expert in state government, but if it gets to the ballot (and more so if it passes) it would be the first legislation on consumer electronics of its kind in the United States. Time to write your MA state representatives, people!
Thank you for bringing attention to Right to Repair. I'm a fixer more than I'm a maker. I love this.
Adam, I'm absolutely 100% with you on the right to repair . A month or so ago I purchased an iFixit kit. Could not be happier. That mini driver feels so good in the hand.
I have had an ifixit kit for years, I love it and reference their tear downs frequently.
If you do IT work or have friends/family that ask you for help with computers then I can confirm they won’t let you down. Definitely support them if you can
“Right to Repair “ - I’m all for it! Thanks, Adam.
Ifixit is the best! There is a reason they are as popular as they are
They been around a long time too.
I'm sure all the sponsorship didn't hurt.
If I were to speak honestly, no, their tools aren't the best. But to their credit, they offer an amazing variety at a good quality, at a very honest and reasonable price.
What I personally find admirable about ifixit, is what they stand for, enabling people to repair their own things not only through their tools, but through their guides as well.
Not the best. Not by a long shot. Their batteries are trash.
You can really tell that Adam truly loves iFixit when he still has some of their kits and driver handles that they haven't sold for 5 or even 10 years now XD I love it
I bought the manta kit a year and a half ago and love it. It's been used countless times and all the bits are still as good as new. Great brand and great tools!
Thanks Adam!
Louis Rossman is a great guy on our side with Right to Repair
I tried to watch him, but he just seems super angry all the time
@@stopcreepingyouweirdo He's a New Yorker. Has a hard, sarcastic exterior. But he's also very passionate and talented at what he does.
@@stopcreepingyouweirdo just watch one of his videos with his cats Oreo and Mr Clinton and you'll see what he's really like. And on his attitude towards Apple, it's very deserved and I also find it hilarious. Haha
Even Rossman can't get around the T2 chip.

I must say Adam. I am so happy to hear you standing up for this. Most celebrities are scared to stand up.for what is right and you are making a big statement here. Thank you!
I did phone and tablet repair professionally for about five years, and have much, much love for ifixit. Great, great products.
One of your best tool tips ever. Thank you very much Adam. I worked as an electronics technician for over 40 years. I wish that I would have had access to these years ago.
And thank you Mr. Savage for taking on that seedy underbelly with so many of us over the years. You are well appreciated as part of this movement.
We need you to do a cross over with Louis Rossman on the right to repair!
This 💯
☝All of this.☝
Rossman testified for Washington state SB5799. Did Adam go also?
@@davecc0000 Nope. No Revenue in that.
These videos have been helping me get through the boring and depressing parts of Covid life. Thank you so much Adam and the rest of the team for making life a little easier.
Thank you Adam. Just thank you for being you, being honest, speaking clearly and fighting for what is right in a way that is reasonable.
100% agree with you Adam, we should have the right to repair! And as an I.T. pro, the ifixit kit is awesome!
Exactly, I was able to mostly repair my brother's switch due to corrosion on the charge pad for the joycons. Its still a bit finnicky, but it works better than not at all.
Do we not have the right to fix our own devices? Do we get arrested if we do?
Of course we have the right to repair... it just may void whatever manufacturer's warranty you may have for that device. You may further damage the device in the attempt to repair it, which makes it no longer covered by the manufacturer. In fact, it would be silly to try to fix your own device if you already have a warranty that covers what is broken.
What it comes down to is that if you don't have a warranty, and if you are not confident in your I.T. skills, then maybe you should pay someone to fix your shite.
Sir Real It’s a valid point you bring up that we all can’t be professional tech heads, but I have to point out that if we don’t at least have the ability and accessibility to diagnose, snoop inside of, mod, and repair our purchased items, we are at best “renting” the very pieces of kit we think we are buying. I don’t think anyone disputes we can change our own oil, brakes, etc. on our cars. Are tractors so different? We can add and swap pieces of hardware on our PCs...why is a phone immune? Taking away the very right to do so (and, yes, it is a right, as the purchaser) is antithetical to the model of society where we aim for self-reliant, investigative, curious, and informed individuals. :/
@@bassguitarlover The issue is the gate keeping of the tools and knowledge to do so. Not that it is illegal or voids the warranty. Most people that would try to repair things either the warranty is invalid, or they don't care about the warranty and just want to fix it themselves because it's a hassle to get warranty work done sometimes. If
i want to crack open my devices and try and fix them or just dig around I should be able to. It's mine. I bought it. The only thing the gate keeping is doing is forcing me to go to a companies certified techs, that pay them a commission and pay to get trained just to carry the name, to get repairs done or it forces me to buy a new item. This is the same issue people are having with planned obsoleteness and putting out updates that actually make older devices start to fail (looking at you apple).
Mine was a gift from my brothers-in-law...I needed a tamper proof torque bit to fix my vacuum! Great gift that has saved me $$
I’ve seen so so many ifixit ads in recent months and I’m glad these are the creators and people that advertise for them, it’s the most useful toolkit and I had to get one and so far have used it many times
On multiple occasions I've actually made my own esoteric bits. It takes a few curse words, and delicate patience with a dremel. But you can make alot of these weird bits yourself.
But I'm not doing that mess again lol, I'm kicking myself for not googling harder. Thanks Adam, buying a set now!
Back in the early 90s I made a special key to open rented snes video games.
I was bad.
There's a good chance that google decides what you see as well since they are a dominate search engine.
Where there is a will there is a way, and for some of them, you get so good at making them that no one would even notice you were in there.
Good work! I usually use duckduckgo.com except when I need specific Google features.
I can totally agree with those screws on stuff where for example high voltage is inside...finding those screws on a leatherman instantly gets them of my list of EDC stuff.
I just hate it...and i could totally see myself milling out that dot in the middle just to find out it is a pentadrive and then throwing that darn thing away...
Thank you for this tooltip.
or just mill a bigass slot in it and take it off with a regular screwdriver. That'd be my play, except replace "Mill" with "Dremel, poorly".
I can agree with warning signs, but not proprietary screws. If something is dangerous, document it, the opposite will just create more accidents.
To be fair, my Leatherman Wave (bought circa 2011) has torx screws with pins, not pentalobe.
I've watched the "my mechanics" guy spot weld a rod to a stubborn screw to get it off. Possibly not a good solution for the leatherman though :-).
I agree with@@DeeSnow97, Electricians have enough specialized tools, we don't need another.
Yes! Right to repair is incredibly important, I'm so glad you covered it!
It's only growing! I hope you've heard of Louis Rossman! Angry man in a chair w a cat but he's there everyday advocating.
I bought one of these a few years ago specifically to open up my Macbook Pro and clean the fan. Since then I've used it for SO MANY things around the house. It's amazing how useful this set is. I had no idea!
For anyone who can't find specialized torx bits. A simply DIY fix: take a plastic pen and hold the backside against a flame until the plastic is soft. Once it's soft enough, press it against the the hole you need a bit for. The soft molten plastic will fill the hole and make a quick torx bit that you can use to unscrew the part.
Totally right about that. You buy it, you own it.
One of the best vids I’ve seen yet! I completely agree and even wrote my industrial design thesis on this topic back in ‘03!!!!! Well done Adam and I fixit
I've had one of their toolkits for years, and it's great! I've fixed so much stuff with them, electronics and otherwise!
I got a kit like 2 years ago and every time I use it, I'm so happy I paid the 60 bucks for it. Ive never ran into a screw i couldn't get out and it paid for itself in repairs.
Last comment that is the first time I have wanted something, looked it up they have an Aussie shop, very well priced. Good work, ordered looking forward to repairing with it.
I love these kits and their antistatic tweezers are amazing too. Glad to hear there are good people behind them too.
This is very VERY high praise for iFixit, and I believe it is well-deserved. I have one of their kits and I've used it to repair Nintendo Joy-Cons, phone screens, and many other things. High-quality, fantastic tools!
Thank you Adam for being open about this. We need to be able to go back to a culture of repair without it being demonized.
Thank you for bringing right to repair to your channel! I find it insane we can't alter and fix what we have rightfully bought and OWN! I have several of iFixit's tool kits but never realized how politically active they are in this realm. Going to keep going back to them in the future.
Here here!
A few months back I needed a small tool kit for putting together a new pc I was building, and I went for that exact same iFixit Toolkit. Right now I am soooo glad to see Adam, someone who I hold really high in my eyes as a maker, recommend it like this!! Woohoo!! :^)
I received my iFixit kit last year for Christmas and I bring it everywhere with me. It has honestly become a game when someone finds a strange looking screw and I get to check my kit to see if I have a head that will fit. Nothing is more satisfying than finding out you have the right tool for the job.
Adam, every video I find a new reason why I respect you so much. This time, your mention of John Deere with their "Black Box" mentality is exactly why I take on the repairs as an independent. Companies like this are looking at the end game of parts, service and maintenance as well as the inflated initial price points of their Green and Yellow products. The same holds true for so many other manufacturers who build inferior products with the knowledge that they will make twice or thrice their profits off the consumers. Kudos! You're SPOT ON! Cheers my Friend! Zip~
If no one can look, no one can see how many corners were cut. As the saying goes, “sunlight is the best disinfectant.”
Well, I suddenly feel super good about having one of their kits in the mail to my house right now. :)
I have the black canvas set myself for years now and it has been a lifesaver on a few occasions to get something fixed.
iFixit is one of the very, very few companies I really like. I originally bought their kit because I needed some screwdrivers, ended up absolutely loving the product so I got a few more things and learner more about what they support and do and now I'm a big fan!
Thanks so much for for this gift, I love the video all of your output, but this video is a lovely little gift at 1am. I can’t sleep again and it’s been a few days of watching thru the new members playlist. But this is better.
Then not only am I happy but I have wondered who and how to get these kits now I will get one, in my home is a wash in broken screens and charging parts if my short person happens to be holding a device when he has a sensory overload that device usually needs fixing and I will get that cause I should have a right to repair!!!
Adam saying "shite" made my Scottish face smile.
I bought an iFixit toolkit a couple years back from a local electronics store to work on my PC and RC cars, I say it every single time I use the kit.... this is one of the best purchases I have ever made. One of the only tool kits I've ever kept 100% together, because I love it that much.
I've been using this kit professionally ever since Adam recommended it. These tools really are fantastic.
I fully agree with right to repair, we should support companies like Ifixit that support it as well
I have very few tools (I live in a small apartment), but among those like 3 things I do have an iFixit toolkit. It's great
Here for the advice, which is helpful, but also the upbeat and cheerful delivery. Thank you Adam!
I have the kit he shows at 7:39. I needed a extremely small torx bit to change the casing on my Nintendo Switch. It was one of the only kits I could find that had one small enough. The whole kit is a dream for anyone who does work on electronics. It is designed by people who use it. Like the lid has a raised grid so you can keep all the screws and pieces separated. I was excited to see it as one of Adam's favorite tools.
Thank you for talking about this issue. I is just about one of the most infuriating issues. Right to Repair!
So glad to hear you bring this up more people need to know about “the right to repair movement 👍👍
I just bought an iFixit took kit last week for a specific bit that I needed to upgrade the drive in my Mac Mini. I bit the bullet and bought the $70 Pro Tech kit and am extremely happy with the quality. The tools are very well thought out and organized.
Darn right Adan, it's the same thing with cars. My farther, myself, and my brothers all prefer to work on our own vehicles. Today, that is almost impossible. Now, just for simple fluid changes, you have to take it to the dealer, who charge ungodly fees for the work. Keep up the good work.
Aside from the lack of room to work (modern engine bays are mighty crowded) you can still work on just about anything yourself. The Hanes service and repair manual is a godsend for finding something that should be obvious.
The B.S. Tesla gets away with their cars. When you buy one your just using it, not owning it.
I don't know about stuff like cars sometimes... On one hand you do own it and should be able to fix it yourself, on the other improper servicing can endanger not only you but random people around you, and I do have a problem with that. I do not want to die because someone thought he can fix his brakes.
You should be able to change oil, bulbs, battery and stuff like that though
@@karol30660 Rich Rebuilds had a mini series of the troubles he had with Tesla. He bought a salvaged title car and fixed it, then brought it to a CERTIFIED Tesla facility to get the fast charging re-enabled. Tesla initially turned the charging on, then for some reason took away fast charging after the fact.
Unfortunately the Haynes range of manuals doesn't cover enough of the cars out there to be useful to everyone. I used them for years, on the cars that were covered, and can attest to their usefulness. Luckily, I currently drive Toyotas, and can get the info direct from Toyota's website for how to install accessories, service manuals, tech bulletins, and even how to reset the service light on my 2017 Auris... Yes, a lot of the really useful info is locked behind a paywall; but it's a step in the right direction. There's also other ways of getting the info too, if you know where to look...

i saw videos on youtube about john deere,my gf's sister is studying too become a farmer in norway,and told me about it aswell. pay thousands to get the tractor too a facility to get it fixed,while the farmers can do it themselves if they where allowed to gain access too all the computer software they use nowadays :/ . the farmers have become pirates and started hacking the software for their own use
I once heard some farmers would rather buy a older, used john deere equipment just so thy didn't have to deal with computer related issues
@@ranwolf76 yup lots of farmers buy old mechanical stuff... anything with a computer is hell for them
A pirate farmer would be a cool thing to be.

Someone get AvE to do a tool review of IFixIt tools!
I picked up the big kit at the last Bay area Makerfaire. I was a little hesitant, but 5 minutes talking to him and I questioned how I have gone without them for this long. Its absolutely my first grab when I need to work on electronics and my 3d printers. Love having them in my shop!
Bought the same kit 8 years ago to change the broken screen of my macbook pro and been using this weekly since then, almost every bits are in perfect shape, the bearing at the tip as smooth as ever. Very good invesment to do
Damnit, every time you post one of these I end up buying new tools lol
I got this for my birthday. I use it everyday
Adam, completely agree with the “right to fix” movement but was unaware of ifixit. Thank you for directing me to a new tool vendor.
I got an iFix It tool kit & new analog joystick for my Nintendo Switch Lite. The kit & instructions were extremely intuitive & easy to use. Great Brand!
I've taken things apart since I was something like 10 years old.
It drives me nuts when ppl design things to make it harder to repair them.
I also champion the Right to Fix anything I own!!!
Its getting ridiculous what manufacturers are doing to prevent us from fixing electronics and other things.
Same, as well as "Actually OWN everything I bought"

i wanted to buy an ifixit kit for years, finally had the motivation to do so when i went to do a full spectrum mod on my DSLR camera for astrophotography. i have used that kit at least twice a week since. i have never in my life had such quality bits for screws and the like. its amazing. easily worth the cost for the kit.
i've had my pro tech kit for about 10 months and it comes in surprisingly useful

*waits for the JayzTwoCents Explosions*
Because they sponsor/send them the tools.
@@txm100 Most the time the Techtubers are using the iFixit toolkits before they become sponsors for them. JayzTwoCents is a perfect example of this, he has multiple videos throughout the years stating that he is not a sponsor and would like to be one because he likes the product. He only started doing sponsor spots for them in the last year or two.
@@txm100 You can see the signs of use in Adam´s kit... that not a sponsored feature, that is lot of use...!
@@sijumosa Ahem, Adem himself told us he gets lots of free stuff from them and was even sponsored for something before.
Really just one of the best toolkits in existence. I bought one years ago and keep it with me in the car everywhere I go 🤣
Bought this 2 years ago at micro center when I built my first pc. Love it. Served many purposes since.
These are cool tools
Agreed
The dislikes are probably from leatherman, John Deere, and Apple employees.
Employees?! More like executives
@TheVirusSoftware Gotta be careful outsourcing to China
@@letsgoBrandon204 probably be better for them a long run if they just didn't but they see that 1 billion people in China and they'll bend over backwards to try and get into that market and that's not even counting their labor practices.
I bought the Manta driver kit a year ago; it's soooo good. Top quality, and every bit i'll ever need (fingers crossed)
I bought my iFixIt kit about a year ago... It is by far my favourite toolkit I own... I am a Software Engineer, yet I use it every day...
put linus, jayztwocents and adam in a room together and record the ifixit discussion, i would listen to that all day long.
don't forget about louis rossman :)
I love my iFixit kit but I find myself reaching for my WowStick way more often.
TMI.
I've had that particular ifixit kit for years and it's been indispensable.
Added Ifixit to my gift list. I have a lot of nerdy friends still, but I also want one. Adam, it's great to watch your videos. Thanks man.
oh hey I have a tool that Adam Savage also has, nice
“Unum facit - aliud vastat”
which means
"What one man built, the other will always be able to disassemble"
able to, yes. allowed to is the question.
the answer should just be "duh, of course!"... but that would stop companies from selling us more repairs. we figured this out for cars like a hundred years ago... why are we having to fight for it all over again for electronics?
also, what if it's a whole corporation of people and not "one man"?
Been working in electronic repair for over 3 years now. Through various shops I've gotten Apple, Samsung, HP, and Google certifications. Through all of it I've used the same iFixit Kit I got after starting in this industry (barring some specialized tools). I love my kit, and I love iFixit, especially the right to repair movement they've been trying to spearhead.
I've had that screwdriver set for 4 years now. Worth every cent.
Jayz2cents agrees about I fix it. Explosion.
Any jaz2cents Fans missing EXPLOSIONS in an ifixit sponsored video.❤️
