Best toolkit to open a Mac mini?
Hey,
What is the best toolkit to open a Mac mini 2018/2020?
Would this one do the job ?
Would it be also useful for a late 2014 Mac mini?
Thanks!
Is this a good question?

From a driver perspective it doesn’t have the needed sizes you need: Torx T5, T6 (security) & T10 . So you’ll need the Mako Driver Kit - 64 Precision Bits which has these. But, the Mako kit does not offer any other tools you’ll likely need: Tweezers, pry & sponger
This will give you what you need!

Thanks! So there is no single kit that has all the needed tools to replace the HD and Ram (of the 2018 model), right?
The 2018 has soldered T2 drive tech not replaceable, only the RAM is serviceable.
I did forget one tool needed in the older 2014 system Mac mini Logic Board Removal Tool which is needed to slide the internal guts out of the case.
The 2014 has serviceable RAM & Storage!
I would get what I listed here as needed. Its a lot cheaper than getting the more expensive tool kit and you would still need to special Mac mini opener as none of the kets offer it.
