Can anyone explain to a newbie where you buy such a large number of screwdrivers???? For example, if you look at the guide on this site to change the iphone x screen you need 9 Y000 screwdrivers
Is this a good question?

No you only need 1 y tip screwdriver but there are 9 y tip screws, 1 Phillips, and 2 pentalobe screws. If you buy the screen kit from ifixit it should come with all of the tools you will need to replace the screen.
Make sure that you mark wear each screw goes. There are different lengths of screws and if you put in the wrong spot it can damage the motherboard and be very expensive to repair. Some people draw the phone housing on a piece of paper and mark the spots where the screws go and put the screws on that spot. Be careful because it's easy to knock the screws off of the paper. You can also get some 2 sided tape for phone repair and tape to the paper and and put the screw on the tape so they don't get lost. You can also buy a magnet board that has the diagram of the phone housing and the screen and has a spot to put the screws there so you don't lose them. I put a picture of the item

What does this mm means?
And why they are all different
It means millimeter
Different lengths, some of the protective covers screw to the motherboard the other ones screw to the housing. And the screw screws will damage the new screen if they are to long. It's not that hard if you have some basic skills and take your time.
And different heads. And the different heads is Apple trying to stop people from working on their own phones. And the length you can blame the engineers who designed the phone.
