I’ve fixed a bunch of them, as well as tablets, and I really like the toolkit from iFixit. It’s great as a beginners set.
EDIT, now that I have a bit more time to elaborate:
It contains most of the bits you’ll ever need, including the weird ones. The only thing I use in addition to that kit is a good heat gun, citric based cleaning agent, and some of those glue-gasket-things.
Another consideration is some tool to heat up the display or back. iFixit has the iOpener, a silicone “pillow” you heat up in the microwave, which works okay, but you might prefer a heat gun, or a plate (3D printer’s heated bed works too).

Second the iFixit kit.

And good lighting of course.
Some other useful stuff: isopropyl alcohol & an old tooth brush for cleaning corrosion, a magnet bowl for holding parts.
And some lint free pads for the alcohol. I buy mine dirt cheap at the pharmacy, as they’re technically bandages.
