• Cell phones contain very tiny components inside.cell phone image by Alexey Klementiev from Fotolia.com
  
  Miniature electronics include everything from cameras to cell phones, all of which will need repairs from time to time. The minute details inside these little electronics make it impossible to use a standard screwdriver or wrench to make the necessary repairs. The use of mini tools is required to work within those small, and otherwise remote, cavities.
  
  

Tweezers

• A pair of tweezers is vital for working with small electronic devices. A stray spring, piece of lint or other foreign object can be plucked out of the small electronic and removed. If a tiny part has fallen loose and is out of place, the tweezers can help maneuver the part back into place.
  
  

Magnifier

• Possibly the most crucial tool when working with small parts is a magnifier. With a wide window that rests over the small parts, repairs can be seen clearly and performed precisely. Some magnifiers are designed to wear over head like a visor, which is then slipped down over the eyes for use.
  
  

Brushes

• The miniature brush tool has two primary uses: wet cleaning and dry cleaning. While a dry cleaning would consist of basic dusting, the wet cleaning method scrubs off stubborn dirt. Different grades of brushes are made, each one specific to a certain electronic. Some electronic devices use a hard and thick brush style while others might require a soft-bristled brush.
  
  

Pliers

• The types of pliers used in small electronics include needle nose and bent nose. Needle-nose pliers are designed to grab very small items with its slender tip, then bend, clip or maneuver it into place. Bent-nose pliers are designed to fit into the hardest to reach corners and crevices in the electronic device.
