a review by Tom Piper
Being a gadget guy, the right tools for the job make the work simpler and more effective. This is particularly true in the electronic world where various screwdriver types and sizes are vital to success, not to mention levers and grabbers (tech terms all).
At Macworld I found an excellent 11-piece computer tool kit this is just perfect for the majority of small repair work I do, such as replacement of the hard drive in laptop computers. This kit includes Torx T6, T8, & T10; Phillips PH00 & PH2; Straight 1.8 mm & 3.0 mm; tweezers; hemostat (scissor clamp); two plastic pry tools (spudgers); and a rugged, zippered, woven nylon carrying case. This is just about everything you need to open up most computers, iPods and other devices for repairs and upgrades. Each piece is nicely shaped for effective handling of small pieces and parts.
I’ve also used mine on a small clock, several electronic pieces and a MacBook Pro 17”, all with the greatest success. These are quality tools that can be used again and again. The case holds the tools with properly shaped insert molds to store each tool in a dense foam material that holds everything in place snugly.
Its very nice to have everything in one convenient package that is easy to carry. This great kit from Newer Technology is available for only $17.95. For more information, go to http://www.newertech.com. I highly recommend this tool for techs and do-it-yourselfers.
