| 533994 | 2007-03-19 10:00:00 | Wanting to start compiling a wee toolbox of those things you people in the know consider to be the 'essentials'. back in the day I had a 3KG tool box with all sorts of fixing stuff... power supply tester, PCI video card, PCI network card. network cable, cross over network cable. 8 piece screwdriver set thermal paste anti-static strap IDE cables serial cables. spare CD-rom drive about 5 different boot floppy's spare 2 GB hard drive. about 30 CD's of software. over time I have trimmed it down as I found most of it never gets used. now i take: 1 $15 DSE multimeter 1 leatherman 1 paper clip 1 4GB thumbdrive. and on the upside, a leatherman micro, paperclip and thumb drive all fit in my watch pocket of my trousers, this means i carry most of my kit all day every day. if it cant be fixed with that list then its a "back to the workshop" kind of a job. |
