I just needed some new small pliers, but the whole kit costs about the same as the pliers - nice!

Grabbed one, for no good reason but 'just in case' thanks.

Got one. Always nice to have something and not need it than need something and not have it. Thanks OP!

 

[lkailburn]

personally i've never liked using magnetic tools on a PC. It's probably over cautious but hey why not.

 

[jalaram]

Just got it as well. Magnetic tools are very helpful for small screws etc.

10. IC Insertion-Extraction Clipper

I bought a repair kit from Newegg a while back which has one of these and they seem to be in most kits. But I can't think of an instance when a normal computer nerd would use one. It seems like such a niche item to include in an otherwise generic kit. But perhaps I'm missing something.

I may or may not use them for grabbing screws that I drop inside laptops and other tight spaces :biggrin:

That's what #11, the three prong holder, is for.

I had one of these before, all the tools have migrated away.

Time for a new one. 8D

 

[SunRey]

Thank You!

 

[Greenlepricon]

I never bought one of these just because I have all the tools I need lying around in various places, but wow. $10 might convince me I could use this. Great deal!

I always use magnetic tools on a PC. What will the weak magnetism in a screwdriver damage in a modern PC? HDD? You ever play with magnets out of a HDD? They are around 100000000000000000x more powerful than a magnetic screwdriver.

I used this for something not all that long ago, but I cannot remember for what. Maybe replacing a bios with a new one after a bad flash... Anyways, the IC extractor used to be useful, but these days most things are soldered. I think I have like 5 of these kits that I've acquired over the years, and not one set is complete.
