A good tool kit

[Crazy Fool]

Work have said I can get a decent tool kit as the stuff I have is proper tosh! Anyone got any suggestion for a neat set? The last one I brought was over priced from PC world… cheap tat

Looking for one with a soldiering iron

[mr_anderson187]

What exact tools do you need in it? what price range? whats your job? etc... there was one on the bargain hunt forum there a few days ago, maybe thats of some use

righty.. basic tool kit... you need.. a short philips... a long phillips... maybe a stubby too.. a small flat-blade and a medium-ish one... a pair of long nose pliers... a pair of forceps/fine grips... a torch... soldering iron & solder.. solder sucker...


with that lot, you can fix everything. A useful addition is a magnetic pick-up tool as well.. handy for getting dropped screws and stuff.

you'll probably get it cheaper that way, buying separate, rather than getting a kit ready built that'll have a lot of stuff in it you'll never need/use

Aren't snap-on tools supposed to be the best?

If your a mechanic - get snapon tools, if your a computer bod, get any old toolset.

Get a small reversible electric screwriver too - daves the wrist.

Belkin (iirc), do a fairly good range for PC builders.
Not really for mechanic's, so for PC builders only, but they have everything you could ever need, of a good quality.
