I want to swap the SSD.
What would be the screwdriver set I need to buy on Amazon to do this? Could anybody link to it?
 
depends on the model for sure - ifixit is a good place to check

another good reference site is Beetstech

most are just small Phillips screws for these SSD models - but always good to check
 
MacBook Pro 2014 (and other years as well) use pentalobe P5, not phillips, for the case screws.
But, correct tools are listed with some of the take-a-part steps. iFixit.com is pretty thorough about providing a selection of tools that will work, such as here.
 
Plenty of those kits available on ifixit and amazon - here is a pic of my "Kit' has everything I have needed for many years - knock on wood - lol

The difference is the blade of the screwdriver.
This article shows the different types of screwdriver tips/blades.
If you can get a pentalobe P5 at a dollar tree for a dollar, and it is really a pentalobe, then get it!
