Premade Computer Toolkits? Suggestions?
Hey. I was wondering, what do you guys recommend? I am starting out as a computer tech, and I want to have a formal toolkit for working with computers, instead of using the odd screwdriver lying around. So, do you have any recommendations for a pre-made toolkit?
Ultra 130 Piece Kit for $45 Misc. Computer Screws for $20.00 A Belkin Kit for $41.00 Some antistatic bags Rosewill 90 Piece Kit for $31.00 Or should I just put together my own kit? From what I can tell, I need the following tools: - A set of good quality unmagnetized screwdrivers - Various screwdriver bits/torx bits - Hex driver with at least 3/16" and ¼" bits - A set of mini screwdrivers for small screws - Allen wrenches - A grabber tool/tweezers/Vacuum Pen - Wire cutters/strippers - Needle nose pliers - A good small flashlight - A extensible mirror tool - A Multimeter - A Utility Knife - Anti-static wrist strap - A Portable Hard Drive for temporary User Backups/Etc. - - - Power supply tester - Plastic Pry Tool (Case cracker) - Electrical tape - A container/organizer for screws/small parts, etc. - Zip ties - Isopropyl Alcohol (cleaning heatsinks) - Thermal compound - Lint-free cloth - Cotton Swabs - Canned air - Headphones/Earbuds (For testing audio output) - Various cables/things: - A few SATA cables/IDE cables - USB Cables (type A, type B) - Ethernet cables/Crossover cables - Standard PC power cables - Firewire cable - What else?

Re: Premade Computer Toolkits? Suggestions?
I have one of those 130-pc kits. Most of it is lost now but it was great when new!
Now I keep a ratcheting screwdriver with a #2 Phillips head, USB drive with updates and drivers (8GB is perfect!), PATA->USB adapter for 2.5" and 3.5" drives, makeup brush for dusting, various USB adapters, and plenty of screws.
