I bought one of those precision screwdriver sets from home depot (comes with like 20 some odd phillips, flat head , and torx bits) Then i use a 10mm socket and a small screwdriver style driver for handle nuts.
Dental picks or automotive picks ($4 @ harbor freight) for removing shields from bearings and smaller c-clips throughout the reel.
A paper clip that serves as a bearing removal tool.
Your choice of cleaner/degreaser. I use simple green and water mixed Your choice of reel grease and bearing oil (daiwa space age and tsi 321 are my choices) Acetone/lighter fluid for flushing bearings Blue shop towels Boca spool pin remover and an old toothbrush for scrubbing parts.
Oh q-tips also for tighter to reach parts.

I think most use the Harbor freight one. Cheap and works well.
