Oh man,
I’m there!
I have an old radio shack kit that is like this only not as cool as this set! Very handy for lots jobs other than working on PC’s.
Yeah, these are handy. The funny part is that you really only need a phillips screwdriver for building and maintaining a PC…. I guess a needle nose helps for digging out dropped screws. I love how they always package chip extractors in these things, just in case your circa 1980 PC goes on the fritz.
you just recently posted this and i build computers as one of my hobbies. even though i have pretty everything i need i def cant beat 10 bucks. so i go on all three pages you posted and they all have it listed for 29.99. newegg has a 15.00 buck mail in rebate though but thats still not 10.00. just wondering if i needed a code or something. thanks.
Kyle- Actually someone who is into hard core electronics the chip extractor is still a very useful tool! Although I agree in a kit labeled as a PC rebuild kit, it does seem a little silly!
Fish- I am frequent buyer from a newegg and there prices are always rollercoasting. When this posted it may have been a day when this was on sale.
Even BIOS ROMs haven’t been socketed DIPs for a few years now! Though a PLCC removal tool would be awful nice, if they’d include it.
A good PC repair toolkit would have a power supply tester, Molex pin removal tools, a micro-prybar (bent straightblade screwdriver) for heatsink clips, a thread gauge with the common PC screw threads, an infrared thermometer, a static strap, and a set of stubby bipolar LEDs on pin-header connectors. But you won’t even find a single retailer who carries all that stuff, much less offers it in a single kit.
