Sometimes you can go crazy looking for the right tool when fixing small electronic devices. I have a great local hardware store but they're more geared to the usual larger tool sizes. The good guys at NewerTechnology have put together a nifty assortment of small tools for the tinkerers among us. The toolkit contains: • Straight Blade 1.8mm The tips are hardened steel and magnetized. The tops of the drivers rotate so that you can hold them in place with your index finger while using them - IMHO a must for small tools. Included with this kit are two small plastic pry-bars (aka "spudgers") - if you've ever tried to open a screen bezel or do your own battery replacement for an Ipod. Finally also included are a tweezers and scissor clamp - handy for holding small parts. All this with a nice carry case - not a bad piece of kit. Street price about $18. Worth a serious look if you're like me - always tinkering with electronics and scurrying arround for the right small tool. |
