Don't overthink RAM upgrade tools – just a #0 Phillips screwdriver.

Yes, that’s basically it. The anti-static wrist strap is optional theater for most people.

You need a small Phillips head screwdriver – usually a #0 or #1. That’s it for tools. The screws on a laptop are tiny but not exotic. If you have a precision screwdriver set, great. If not, a cheap eyeglass repair kit works fine.

The anti-static wrist strap? I wouldn’t buy one. Static damage is real but rare in normal home conditions. Just touch an unpainted metal surface (like the laptop chassis or a desk leg) before touching the RAM. Work on a hard surface, not carpet. That’s enough.

If you’re paranoid, work in bare feet on a wood floor. The strap is for people who build PCs daily or live in a dry, carpeted room with a cat.

Just don’t force anything. RAM clicks in, it doesn’t jam.
