    ALMOST everything I needed.

    the materials, the plastics, the tools were all fine and did not break. Be advised that if you just want to replace the HDD you'll have all you need. I'm just disappointed that I was missing a screwdriver to be able to remove the wifi antenas since I had to remove the whole board to do maintenance and added a new SSD which is on the back of the logic board, so be advised if you want to do that be ready with a really small torx.

    I would recommend this product to a friend!
