Anyone who spends a lot of time fixing computers knows the importance of having the right tools to complete the job.
Here are some essential items to include in any computer repair toolkit, elsewhere dubbed the “PC repair toolkit”:
An 8-screwdriver set is essential for any PC repair job as it is needed to open cases, disassemble parts, and put them back in place.
Also, useful to look for screwdrivers with a magnetizer for easier screw handling, a flexible bit extender for hard-to-reach places, and a prying kit for separating friction-fit or glued parts.
A reliable multipurpose tool is needed to cut, trim, twist, and pull wires and cables.
This can take the form of a standard tool with a wire cutter and pliers, but a blade and scissors are also recommended.
A USB flash drive is extremely useful as it can be used to install updates, reinstall a stable version of the OS and flash the BIOS on the motherboard.
A multimeter is often needed for diagnosing broken PCs as it can measure voltage, current, and continuity.
