Prying tools

[pillar]

Hey all, so im looking to upgrade the laptop that my mom gave me with an ssd. However, after doing some research I found out that she purchased an HP Sleekbook, which requires the person to remove the keyboard before they can remove the kb shell in order to get access to the hard drive. Therefore im looking for some place that sells some decent prying tools to get the kb out.

On a side note, I dont understand why HP cant make their shells like they used to, where everything was attached to the keyboard side & simply remove the bottom shell like back in the good ol days?

If you want to go cheap, a plastic guitar pick usually do the trick.

Yes. ifixit is an excellent source for not only this, but specialized tools dedicated to repairing, fixing, taking apart, etc.

I've used them exclusively for a while now when I'm repairing electronics.
