There are a few things that I had to upgrade in this kit. The flashlight, solder, and screwdriver (needed a magnetized one), I also added zip ties. Other than that the kit is awesome, and has a lot of the tools a computer tech would need.
My one wish would be for magnetized tips, especially on the Philips extension. I purchased this kit for a job I was starting as a field service tech for computers, registers, printers, etc. Whenever I get into cramped quarters my big hands make it very hard to place and control screws, etc. So far, this kit has been indispensible. I know others have decried the flashlight, but it works fine to me. Magnetized tips would go a long way to alleviating that. Otherwise, I'm very pleased and use this kit regularly.
Amazon is always greatHowever; these are cheap plastic tools made in china. Something you would purchase from Harbor Freight. Amazon's return policy is always outstanding. Sorry Belkin
I'm a computer technician and I've had this toolkit for 1 month, while some of the tools are more electronics specific, the best part is the case itself.I bought this tool kit after searching the web for about a week looking for one that had all of the items I needed to take apart my mother's laptop and replace the power supply plug.for quick and easy computer repairs, these tools will do. for daily use, they don't stand up.
It is fabric, not plastic on the edges with a metal zipper. We are in the IT business and I can't think of a better combination for working on PCs. It matches our black leather laptop attaches and looks like a million bucks. We are shirt and tie consultants.
It comes with batteries for the flashlight, which I didn't use, but will leave them in their shrink wrap for spares. We don't want to look like Joe tech with a suit case size tool kit and key ring on our belt. We want just enough to change a card, swap a mother board, etc. You never know by pictures until you actually receive it. I thought I was missing something, but it doesn't say it does on the box either. It has a little white Belkin emblem on the front.
The tools aren't Snap-On nor Toho Koki. They are middle of the road Sears quality and look very nice.
So, I added a tube of rosin core solder solder.I normally wouldn't spend my time to come back here to write this, but it's so nice I felt I owed it to Belkin for turning out such a nice tool kit as such a low price. It's about the size of normal sized zippered Bible.
I wasn't excited about the flashlight's appearance compared to the rest of the kit, but it is all plastic, which is safer when working around electronics where there is the potential to short something by accident while checking out a running piece of equipment.What would I change. The outside is a soft leatherette material covering while the inside is a black plastic which also serves as a stiffener.
It is easy to wipe clean. It came with a roll of solder wick, but no solder.
I want to see people who do an outstanding job be rewarded.PS: The tools arrived when Amazon said they would.
