Adam Savage's Favorite Tools: iFixit Repair Toolkit!

For taking apart and repairing his electronics, Adam finds the iFixit line of bit driver kits more than meet the task. Their repair kits feel good to use, will last, and have an incredible range of bits that fit the tiniest screws in your gear--including those with tamper-proof pins. Adam champions the mission of Right to Repair, and policies that would give consumers the ability to open up hardware they've purchased to modify, tinker with, and repair them.

Anything that promotes right to repair deserves an extra like!

I love you for the John Deere reference. As a farmer by trade, thank you.

I could literally listen to Adam talk for hours and I would never get bored.

I love how excited he gets about the smallest things! :D

In the last few years, I have become a firm believer in, “The right to repair”! This tool tip is one of the greatest ones that you have done Adam! Thank you so much!

Back in my father's day, when you bought a new piece of equipment, a tool or an amplifier etc, you also received the schematics showing you what was what and where it was at. Nowadays you'll be lucky to get an instruction manual on how to use that darn thing!!!

iFixit also contributes greatly to the community with their teardown and repair guides. <3 Thanks for sharing this!

When I was a kid, you were one of my favourite people on the planet (Mythbusters). I'm super grateful that you continue that journey here, on youtube. Since I was about 12 I was always doing some crazy and unreasonable shit, like opening up power tools, electronics, connecting hifi speakers to a desktop ones (i had no amp back then), gathering shit people would throw away, etc.
I'm 26 now, running a woodshop / maker workshop in Gdansk, PL where I spend most of my time. It's my second year since I quit regular job, just me, tools and the ideas for a living I come up with. Mostly furniture, as it's what I'm equipped for the best + it gives good money for new tools.
Thank you Adam. You really had a big influence on my life and still you are a great inspiration.

I’m a Brit and I wholeheartedly approve of Adam’s use of the word “shite”. 👍

[WirableCrown]

Mythbusters was such a huge part of my childhood and what inspired me to get a STEM major at uni. So many good memories of eating mac and cheese on a weekend while watching a new episode! ❤️❤️❤️

I still have every bit for my ifixit kit, but tweezers and spudgers walk away from me almost instantly.

Also this Nov 3 Election, MA voters have an opportunity to actually change their right to repair. Question 1 on the Massachusetts general ballot the "Right to Repair Law" concerns automobile electronic data and voting yes would require auto manufacturers selling cars in MA to standardize on an open data platform that mechanics and owners can use to diagnose and repair their cars outside of the walled garden. Just something to think about if you vote in MA.

Having watched Smarter Everyday's video on farmers and their equipment, I cannot agree more with the Right to Repair movement. They need to be able to maintain things themselves when out in the middle of nowhere, not wait around for a repair guy to show up.

I have had an ifixit kit for years, I love it and reference their tear downs frequently.

If you do IT work or have friends/family that ask you for help with computers then I can confirm they won’t let you down. Definitely support them if you can

[lucasbord]

I must say Adam. I am so happy to hear you standing up for this. Most celebrities are scared to stand up.for what is right and you are making a big statement here. Thank you!

[FishyBoi]

Yes! Right to repair is incredibly important, I'm so glad you covered it!

[aaro_n]

Ifixit is the best! There is a reason they are as popular as they are

[Kafend]

You can really tell that Adam truly loves iFixit when he still has some of their kits and driver handles that they haven't sold for 5 or even 10 years now XD I love it

[joshuagarrett]

Thank you for bringing attention to Right to Repair. I'm a fixer more than I'm a maker. I love this.

[SkipTerrio]

I did phone and tablet repair professionally for about five years, and have much, much love for ifixit. Great, great products.
