One 2 mm Phillips screwdriver
One 4 mm flat-blade screwdriver
Torx screwdriver
Tweezers (for pulling out screws)
ESD mats (for the floor and work desks)
An ESD wrist strap or heel grounder
Anti-static carpets or flooring
Air ionizers (for highly electrostatic sensitive areas)
A plastic card (in credit card size)
