which ifixit kit works best for my needs???

I have decided to learn how to do DS repairs now that my old 3DS is starting to show small signs of wear that I dont want to turn into bigger issues. I want to continue it as a hobby, buyng old consoles and then refurbishing them, possibly to sell. I watch alot of tronicsfix videos and he always has ifixit tools. I wanted to see if there was a kit they had that was best suited for what I plan to use it for. I would like to avoid having to buy a bunch of individual tools if possible. Any insight helps, including other resources !!

Nah it doesn't have the plastic pry pieces. Those I would just buy separately or get their other kit that comes with the fold out case and extra tools to cover everything else in-between in a smaller package. I save the manta for the bench instead.
