Tools and equipment to repair any smartphone or mobile cell phone is a kind of investment. It is better to buy good quality mobile phone repairing tools than buying cheaper and poor quality tools. There are manufacturers who manufacture tools and tool kits of good quality. These can be little expensive but you will get complete satisfaction and value for money after using them.

 When buying tools and tools kit for repairing smartphone, it is extremely important to keep in mind that most parts inside any smartphone are very sensitive to ESD or Static Electricity. Hence, I suggest buying only ESD-Safe tools and equipment for repairing smartphones. You can buy each tool individually or buy a complete tool kit.

Here is complete list of tools and equipment needed to repair smartphones :

1. Soldering Iron or Soldering Station: 

Buy a good quality ESD-Safe soldering iron or soldering station to solder parts and components like capacitor, resistor, diode, transistor, regulator, speaker, microphone, display etc. Hakko and Weller are two world renowned manufacturers of soldering irons and other soldering tools and equipments. Cleaning Sponge: This is used to clean tip of soldering iron while soldering.

Hot Air Blower: 

Also called SMD (Surface Mount Device) rework system and SMD repair system. It has control to regulate or manage temperature and flow or hot air. Always buy a good quality ESD-Safe hot air blower. It is used to remove and again solder ICs.

PCB Holder / PCB Stand: 

A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) holder or PCB Stand is used to hold the PCB of a mobile phone while soldering or repairing.

Solder Wire and Flux: 

Solder wire is used to solder electronic components, ICs etc. Flux is applied before soldering to remove any oxide or contamination at the solder joints. Buy good quality solder wire and No-Clean Flux.

Solder Paste: 

This is solder in molted semi-solid form. It looks like paste. Solder paste is mainly used for Reballing of ICs. Desoldering Wire: Desoldering wire or Desolder wire is used to remove excess solder from track of PCB. Chemtronics is world renowned manufacturer and supplier of Desoldering wire.
