For those expert repairers and biz owners: What type of diagnostic equipment would you recommend to start an electronics repair business? for instance to fix iphones, tablets and laptops. Besides DMMS, Scopes, and basic soldering and calibration tools, are there specialized types of equipment to diagnose non-obvious faults on electronic devices that you would recommend? Thanks for the feedback again!
Is this a good question?

@emasterstudent besides all the tools listed in the answers you will need the schematics boadlayout files etc. to work on any device. Only then wil you know what component is where and what rails they belong to etc. Can't use any tool unless you have "a map" of where to use them. Best people to answers this completely would be @refectio and @teetopp
