Hi

Looking to remove the back cover from a Macbook Pro 13 inch, Model A1278, 2012. Am i correct in saying i would need either a Torx T6 magnetic screwdriver, or Phillips 1.5 magnetic screwdriver?

Thanks.

You need a Phillips #00 to remove the 10 screws of the lower case.

Bought a specialised presition tool kit recently, it includes the Phillips 0.0 screwdiver and T6 screwdiver, alongside many others, I'm sure this will meet my needs..

thanks for your support Macrumors.
