Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin F8E060 10-Piece Computer Tool Kit
Customer Review: Convenient. Compact. Comprehensive.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a nice little tool set. It may be just a tad bit pricey for the quality of tools, but it's great to have handy. I keep it in my office because I frequently have to take computers apart. This tool set has everything I would need and more. But basically I just use the Phillips screwdriver all the time.
As seen in the pic, you get 2 Phillips drivers of different sizes, 2 flat head, 2 hex head (great for tightening the hex nuts on a VGA or DVI port etc.), a chip remover (never will use this one), a torx driver, tweezers and cool little grabbers for screws lost in tight spots.
As I said earlier, the quality is not something that would warrant use of this tool set beyond typical in a computer environment. They certainly would stand to up to even normal use with a carpenter or mechanic or anything like that. There's no doubt this was made in China for less than a dollar. But if you're looking for a compact tool set to keep handy, consider this one.
Customer Review: Cheap, utilitarian, basic kit.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a cheap and utilitarian basic tool kit. It has just what you need for working on your hardware and nothing more. A couple philips and a couple flat-heads with a nice little parts retrieving tool. If you just need an extra kit around, it's worth it. No frills and not something you'll want to use for heavy duty jobs, but if you're putting a computer together, go for it. You can buy more expensive "computer tool kits", but they tend to mostly come with a lot of additional pieces that you'll never use, like a "memory chip remover/setter". When was the last time anyone needed that?!Customer Review: works great
Summary: 4 Stars
ive used everything and all tools are useful. they are a bit 'cheap' but thats exactly what i paid for the kit! handles feel like they will break if i applied to much force but theyre for working on comps so no need for the kind of force that would break them. if youre working on cars or appliances get something else but this kit is great for electronics.
a flashlight (and anti-static wrist strap) would round out the kit nicely but if you have a small mag-lite type put it with the kit and youll be all set.
Customer Review: Good basic kit
Summary: 4 Stars
All of the tools except the IC-chip grabber is very useful for building a computer or maintaining/ repairing them.
The nut drivers did not fit my case nuts, so it didn't do me any good.
If Belkin has an anti-static wrist band with this kit, I would put a five-star on this product.
Customer Review: Not for MacBook Pro
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to upgrade the RAM on my MacBook Pro, it really is a great kit but doesn't have the tiny screwdriver you need to get to the RAM. Luckily I had a watch repair kit around that did the trick.
Works great on my G5 tower though!
