I'm sorry, but what needs to be repaired? It really depends on what you're doing from the most basic, to the professional level(ie; Soldering stations, Multi-meters etc)
At the most basic level, you will need a precision screwdriver kit that consists of a few philips, flat-head, and torx screwdrivers. You will also need to purchase some canned-air, and some Isopropyl rubbing Alcohol -

As far as taking them apart and putting them together... basic small tools.
Small screw drivers, plastic wedges, pill boxes (for screws), anti static strap, needle nose pliers, tweezers, small magnetic pen, micro fiber cloths, cloth cover for your work area, canned air, thermal grease, alcohol. That should get you started. The rest you can get as you go along if you encounter units using other fasteners. See the guide in my sig
I don't know much about soldering, capacitors, testing circuits etc... so someone else might be able to help there. -

Even a multimeter is likely to be unused. Youd need a circuit diagram to be sure of the readings you're taking.
But dont mind me. Just being controversial. Playing the devils advocate.
