    Hi and welcome to the escrap side of the force.. Only advice I'll give is keep everything, every time I used to throw it in the shred pile (with obvious exceptions) I later regretted it,( hard drives, ribbon connectors, ect..) yeah you will need torx bits t8 through t4 or t5 if I remember correctly (small ones for laptop hard drives if you want to bother with them.. I personally do ;-) ). I bought a bag of hardened t8 bits online, keep one on the drill for taking apart desktop hard drives (make sure you save the boards on those) get a good jeweler set of small screwdrivers use the small phillips for some LT harddrives and the really small one to release cd drive disk holders to access the boards. found a 3/16 and 5/16 sockets handy in a number of applications also.. The rest is the usual flat screwdriver, #2 phillips tip for drill for cases and motherboards, needle nose pliers and tin snips.. I'm sure you will figure out what works best for you. Good luck and happy scrapping. Iron.
