    I need a decent screwdriver to tear down my A17. Im replacing my mSATA.
    Any of you modders out there know where i can get a decent tool kit? i only have one philips screwdriver and the head is so small i might ruin the ruin the thread of the screw if i use that. I ruin a lot screws with that screwdriver so im not comfortable using it.

    Set on a small magnet on the screwdriver. That I do. It is better than and magnetic screwdriver. Just take off the magnet if you do not need it (on hard disk etc)
