Recommend a Tool Set?

[CaressOfKrieger]

I'm new to customization and I've decided as a summer project after following/ogling custom game systems since I was like 12 (i'm 19 now) that I will try my hand at custom painting a GameCube I recently bought. I know I have to remove the casing, and I've been going over tutorials but I was wondering if any of you could recommend a screwdriver which I could purchase online. Bonuses if it's a multi-system because I have a feeling that if this goes well I'll be moving onto other systems and controllers. Any help is appreciated. Give a n00b a hand?

For a multi-tip system, this is the way to go:

I have a few sets, and the build quality is great, no slipping, no stripping, awesome.

However, it doesn't have the Nintendo bits and such.

I use the Philip, Flat, and Torex heads Literally All the time.

The only "down-side" is that you must use the metal bit extender or you will loose the bit into the plastic shaft, but it is really easy to put together and takes 3 seconds.

Read the reviews, they say it all!


Hope it helps!

In case you don't live in the USA/Canada, I bought these from DealExtreme:

It's a amazing set. With an extension bit, but problem with these kind of multi bits is that they will be to short or have a to thick extension bit to fit in some holes.
But that only happens to some NES's (not all), but these just use a Philips screw drivers so, that's no big deal.

And also the CD-i's Disk Drive, therefore I bought this set too:

Both really cheap, and magnetic.
I recently bought and tried the 8-piece precision set, and only used it for 3 CD-i's which I repaired yet. But they don't seem to wear out.
But I must note that the torx 8-piece set doesn't include holes, unlike on the picture. Which is not a problem for CD-i's though.

Edit:
I got my GameBits (For Nintendo/Sega etc.) from Ebay.
