Belkin 78-Piece Tool Kit With UK Soldering Iron

Advantages: Lots of tools to cover a multitude of jobs.
Disadvantages: Cheap feeling screwdriver.

...There are lots of little jobs that need to be performed in IT and many of them are hardware related. These jobs range from fitting additional memory to complete motherboard replacements. But whatever you are about to do to your PC, you are going to need specifit tools for the job. So I figured I would wade in and give you a bit more info into a lifesaver of a product for the budget concious IT people out there.

Advantages: Size, Price, Range
Disadvantages: Initial Connectivity problems

Just in case you're hunting round the 'net, trying to find what's included: - Wire strippers (the cheap kind, not very good) - Chip tongs - double-ended screwdriver with "medium" flat + crosshead - syringe tweezer thingamy's (very useful for picking up dropped screws) - needlenose pliers - normal tweezers - "electrical size" flat- and cross-head double-end screwdriver - 2-way + locking Ratchet handle, plus socket fittings for Allen key/ flat and cross head and spanner pieces - Anti-static wristband (no use for fat wrists!) - pill-boxes for grub screws, etc., with some odds and ends included - a set of Allen keys. - a zip-up nylon case with elastic straps. I've always liked Belkin products - I don't think they... Read review
