Hello! I would like to get into repairing as a possible side hustle and don't know where to start. I have fixed a few things myself (like my xbox with a dead hdd) and have good general knowledge but want to know the best devices to start with. (Preferably something under $100)

Having some of the appropriate tools e.g pry tools, drivers etc and a wrist strap is nearly essential to avoid ESD damage to components, and also an adequate DMM (digital multimeter) and knowledge of how to interpret schematic diagrams to aid in fault finding at board level is probably a good start.
One golden rule to live by when repairing electronic devices is Power Off first, On last. This means disconnect all sources of power i.e. external and internal as soon as possible/accessible before beginning a repair and reconnect only when the repair is completed or if power is required for testing purposes. This eliminates the potential for causing more electrical problems during a repair, than what may have been there in the first place.
Mechanical damage possibly caused during a repair is another matter. If something isn't going right e.g. won't disconnect, come loose etc., stop and think about it. Walk away if you have to. Don't rush headlong into trying to get it resolved as you can cause more problems

Hey there @stoutscientist
In addition to the advice offered by @jayeff, I highly recommend learning how to troubleshoot, upgrade, and repair computers and computer hardware. While you wouldn't necessarily be able to buy a computer off the shelf for less than $100, you can try and find a junked PC to refurbish and upgrade to start learning about the hardware.
Best of luck in your repair journey!
