Even if you intend to head down to your local community's monthly repair clinic, or whatever you might call it (if you have such a thing), you'd be a real star bringing one of these with you to fix someone's ageing laptop or mobile phone. But for its intended purpose, to set up a small repair business, in that sense I can see it being pretty handy. It's $300, so in terms of value for a PC gamer it's not quite there. Of the entire kit, it's definitely overkill for a PC gamer, but that's absolutely no surprise.

The full kit fits inside this decent-sized shoulder bag. And there are better out there, as Hope found out while cleaning her PC with an electronic duster. This is handy for that, but again it's a pretty simple tool you can get from anywhere. Dust gets absolutely everywhere inside my PC and sometimes you need a little more of a directed waft of air to get it to go someplace else. More of a convenience than a requirement. When you need to check a circuit, you'll really wish you had one lying around, too, but again I don't think it's a necessity for PC building. But I do use one of these fairly regularly for battery checks. I'm not using a multimeter for checking an electrical circuit on any PC gaming hardware-my mods/repairs haven't required that level of investigation.
Just not for your average PC gamer, perhaps? So I suppose, in a way, they are very handy. They've come in handy for a couple of home projects where I needed some precise measurements. I've used the digital calipers in this iFixit kit a couple of times, but admittedly not for anything to do with electronics or PC building. They're pretty common, and you can pick some up cheaper than the $55 iFixit asks for these on their own. Though I imagine many PC builders out there might already have at least some of these screwdrivers to hand anyways. Inside you'll find the screwdrivers listed below, which covers pretty much everything you might casually need for cracking open your PC or most other electronics.Īll together, a pretty well-rounded set.

It's definitely a more easily portable set, even if you were to ditch the whole shoulder bag included with the Repair Business Kit. Now I already had a set much like this, but the iFixit one rolls down a whole lot smaller than mine.
