About six months ago, around the time of Black Friday 2020, I purchased a Pro Tech Toolkit and an iOpener Toolkit. They are both high quality products and I recommend them to anyone serious about repairing home digital equipment; cell-phones, computers, tablets etc.

I'm in my eighth decade ( a retired mechanical engineer) and have been repairing all sorts of things for the past 65 years or so.

A few years ago, a cousin in the medical profession gave me two or three pairs of small surgical forceps or "clamps", as they are referred to by doctors working in operating theatres in TV medical programmes.

These are some of the most useful tools I've ever owned. I've found myriad instances where they have been like having a third or fourth hand to hold or grip things.

I'd like to suggest to IFIXIT that you include two or more in all your toolkits.
