Good tool kit for cheap?

[c_marriott]

does anyone have a decent tool kit for computers like the iFixIt one but maybe a bit cheaper?

I'd like to have all of the tools that are in it but I just can't afford it,

Does anyone have any cheaper options?

I don't know what tool you'd need beyond a Phillips screwdriver for working on a computer.

The iFixIt one has tools for other type of things like phones, I'd just use it for all kinds of things not purely for a pic

Aside from the occasional socket or socket driver for dealing with motherboard standoffs a standard #1 Philips screwdriver is all you need. There are occasional calls for a #0 when dealing with GPU screws and the like.

Well, you said computers originally so that really narrows things down.

You can get the flat blades and other stuff on eBay for cheap.

The reason the iFixIt one is so expensive is because it's branded. Piece the parts from other sources and you'll get everything for cheaper.

Sorry, my bad, thought that may have been a general set.

Would it be easier to find all of the bits myself and make my own set then?

I think so.

Go ahead and price it out yourself and see.
