Nintendo Switch Tools?

[ASCiiDiTY]

Can somebody please tell me the correct size tools to simply change my back cover?

I know PH00 is right, but not sure on the tri-wing, is it Y0?

Also is the tri-wing size different for joy cons?

Thanks.

Thanks, ah so it is Y00. Lots of kits being sold are including only Y0 and Y000.

That, sadly, happened to me. I was lazy to pick up my proper screwdrivers from the tool box, so I used the ones I had at hand which were some cheap ones I've got with my PlayVital Switch cases. Ended up ruining one screw.

This idea never works. I’ve made this same mistake with several different electronics over the years. 9/10 times cheap screwdrivers strip instantly

Are S2 steel bits good enough? Is a limited selection on ebay UK, importing from ifixit would be expensive for me.

This is what I'm looking at on ebay, the brand is JOREST:

look for something that has a lot of reviews and focus on negative ones if they are not so bad then set is probably good enough also if you get rlly bad and lose fit screwdriver/bit you can try to sand it off a little at the top.
