Computer Toolkit

[S6k9GNh0]

I've been looking for a toolkit for computers. Any recommendations?

Here's a decent one:

I actually looked at this one. I was hoping for someone with experience with a kit since this crap often turns for the worst when in use. Have you used it? Also, I don't like the bulky screwdriver.

Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers.

This particular kit no. I had a kit a few years ago I thought was excellent, but that was before Intel Centrino was released, so I have since forgotten the brand name and model.

@helios:
Not funny.

lol @ helios.

I've been screwing with my computer a lot lately but it's been a bit difficult since people tend to be buttholes, take my tools, and run off with them without my permission, then lose them, often before even being able to use them, therefor taking another, repeat.

I need something to just get the basics done. A soldering kit would be nice as well since I've been finding uses all over the place for it such as my rigged Xbox 1 controller thats currently using electrical caps.

EDIT: I am one of those programmers >.>. Fortunately, I've done more proper fixing than I have rigging. Next task is going to be soldering a chip onto my Xbox and get a hardrive for archiving sakes so I don't have to use an emulator in the future. :D

Okay, I admit, it was funny.

The best bet would be to buy a tool box/case and fill it with the tools that you know you are going to use. My experience of toolkits is that they either are missing something you want or you pay a small fortune for 'the complete' kit and never use half of it.

I have a CK T1632 Technicians Tool Case¹, it has the extra room to store things like power supply testers, POST probe, multimeter, cable testers...
