minigeek Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 ^OVERKILL i dont use a kit at all, its just a big waste of money all you need is 2 screwdrivers (one big one small) and you're set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I have one of these kits - they're awesome (and really high quality) http://www.wihatools.com/200seri/266pouch_Sets.htm I think mine is #26199 (got it on sale for $20) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 These kits are actually surprisingly very decent for PC use. Don't expect to be able to apply a lot of torque to anything but for PC use even the cheapest tool will work. The kit I had awhile back came with: Ratcheting screwdriver 9 bits 1 socket bit and 12 sockets Allen wrench set small part/screw grabber adjustable wrench needle-nose pliers I've since upped to a large toolboxed crammed full of a bunch of junk but I'm reasonably sure I could do anything to a computer withthat kit that I could with my current tools...

d3athsd00r Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 what about soldering irons? I'm working on a few projects that I'm going to need a soldering iron soon. Replacing a battery in an ipod nano and probably embark on some other stuff after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick2500 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 But a soldering iron from a hardware store. The only thing you really need in a pc tool kit is 2 sizes of Phillips bits and a needle nose pliers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
