iFixit Precision Screwdriver

iFixit is a globally recognized brand synonymous with the right-to-repair movement. Originally founded in a dorm room at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, the company has grown from a simple repair manual website into a leading manufacturer of specialized tools designed specifically for the disassembly and repair of modern consumer electronics, such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets.

The precision screwdriver shown is part of iFixit’s signature toolkits. While the brand is headquartered in the United States and maintains a strong focus on design and community-driven repair guides, its manufacturing operations are primarily based in China to leverage specialized precision engineering facilities. This allows them to produce high-quality, hardened steel bits and ergonomic handles at scale for a global market.

Ownership of the brand remains independent. iFixit is privately held by its founders, which allows the company to maintain its advocacy-heavy business model. They prioritize environmental sustainability and policy influence alongside their commercial tool sales, ensuring that consumers have both the physical tools and the legal right to fix the devices they own.
