This is really a sweet little kit, I've put mine together over the last year: [linked product missing or disabled: IF145-072]

Choice of tools is kind a matter of how deep your pockets are and just how professional you want get. For most repairs the 54 piece set is excellent: [linked product missing or disabled: IF145-022]

The $300 Professional set is something I'd like to get: [linked product missing or disabled: IF145-114]

I really like the 26 bit driver set because of the larger diameter driver (it allows for much more torque). [linked product missing or disabled: IF145-028] All these are magnetized when using the drivers. I'm sure iFixit could put together exactly what you need if you tell them exactly what you intend to work on and how much you have to spend on tools. Even an excellent box to keep them in: [linked product missing or disabled: IF145-129]

Well I'm not sure why ifixit is so over priced on the moody tools. $300 is ridiculous when you can get the same exact set for $170 on Amazon.

Ifixit sells exactly what you are looking for yes. You can purchase the tool bit set separately or go even as far as the Pro-Tech Base Toolkit. They even have a magnetizer/demagnetizer if what you receive isn't good enough.

The [linked product missing or disabled: IF145-022] works well and has magnetic tips. For 24.99, you can't beat it.
