Which screwdriver would be best for getting into MBP?

[levmc]

I'm trying to get the SSD and HHD out of my 2009 MBP and 2008 MacBook.
Which screwdriver set would do the trick?

Amazon.com: macbook screwdriver

Amazon.com: macbook screwdriver

www.amazon.com

(As well, I would like to get into 2014 MBP as well to change the SSD with a better one)

Check iFixit.com repair guides for the proper info on the screws.

Do what Brian says above.

I -think- the drivers you need are:
Phillips #00 (for screws on back)
Torx T-6 (for the "bosses" on the side of the drive itself)

 

[logana]

Pentalobe P5 (1.2mm) for the bottom case on the 2014 and a T5 for the SSD screw on the logicboard.

The Amazon Choice - first one on the list seems to have everything you need for both machines. I have no idea why they refer to the T5 and T6 as pentalobe screwdrivers. Torx screws have 6 sides not 5.....

You mean this one?

HaiMay 5 Pieces Screwdriver Tool Kit

Material: chrominm molybdenum vanadium steel Package size: 5.5*6.02*0.6 inches Package weight: 2 ounces 1*5 point screwdriver 1*6 point screwdriver 1*Phillips head screwdriver 1*Dielectric stick 1* cleaning cloth

www.amazon.com

I clicked my link again and this is the first thing that comes up:

Kaisi 5pcs MacBook Repair Tool Kit Precision P5 Pentalobe Screwdriver, T5 Torx and PH000 Phillips Screwdriver with Ultra-Thin Steel and Nylon Spudgers for MacBook Pro & MacBook Air with Retina Display

www.amazon.com

Is the "Kaisi" one the one that you meant? For Kaisi a comment says: "The pentalobe screwdriver stripped after the 3rd screw of a Macbook. I wouldn't waste any money on this set."

So T6 is what you need to get to the drive in the older MBPs? and T5 is for getting to the SSD in the 2014 MBP?

Anyway I found both on ifixit:

T5 Torx Screwdriver: Precision Star-Shaped Bit Driver

Use to take apart your electronics. Swivel top handle with precision tip driver.

T6 Torx Screwdriver

Use to take apart and repair your computer. Swivel top handle with precision tip driver.

Pentalobe P5 (1.2mm) for the bottom case on the 2014 and a T5 for the SSD screw on the logicboard.

Sure, for the 2014.
OP asked about older laptops:

2009 MBP and 2008 MacBook.

The Pentalobe didn't come into use on the MBP until the Retina in 2012, and was on the MBA for a couple years before that.

So what do you need for the 2009 and 2008 ones?

For an older MacBook Pro, I don't think you need "pentalobe" drivers.
You're going the wrong way on this.

Once again, the best advice you'll get:
