@deank73274 жыл бұрын
I will agree with that. For repair it's good. Good for taking apart laptops, tablets and phones, but for PC building you really only need a #2 phillips head driver and maybe either a needle noes pliers or small socket wrench for standoffs. iFixit's tools are a pretty good quality, but that's only really a factor when you are using them regularly. If your doing builds every now and then, ifixit is a bit pricey and you're only going to really use the driver and one or two bits.

I want to learn electronic stuff and be able to repair stuff, I have a lot to practice on hehe, as of now, I have a broken ps4, a broken laptop and a broken psvr headset, I imagine the problem for the ps4 was overheating so just in case I will replace the cable and if that doesn't work the power supply apart from a very needed clean, the psvr headset has broken wire, so I will get a basic soldering station (a cheap one, once it becomes my job I'll probably be able to afford buying something of a higher price tag) I hope repairing the wire will do but if it doesn't I fear I might need to go further to maybe a repair shop or get more deep into it, the laptop will in my opinion be the hardest, I have no idea what it's it's problem, it used to turn on and give a bluescreen saying that the damage was unknown, now it doesn't even do that, havent seen how it looks inside so hopefully I'll be able to see something then.

I checked out shops near me, none had a hex bit of the size I needed. Got an ifixit Manta kit. I removed the links on my watch with it, I dissasembled my gtx 1070, I can open up my PS4, PS3 for cleaing (PS4 has bent hdmi port, so now I can open it and fix it) - fixed a Xiaomi Redmi phone. I recommend you check out Gamer Nexus when he tears down those RTX reference cards. You will need some special bits there my boy. That's pc building. If you're talking only about, opening a GPU box and putting it in the PCI slot. then yes, you don't need one :3, you're putting togheter a PC, not building a waterloop or disassembling a gpu (which I would call building) What I'm trying to say is, as a whole they are worth it, you're not just building PC your whole life, other things will break and you might need it, thankfully you can have just one KIT and you'll be ready for anything.

You mention "Torx", are you thinking of "torque"? I doubt either are essential for a PC builder. Torx screwdrivers have a star shaped end, might be necessary to disassemble an old HDD drive, torque screwdrivers have a ratchet to control torque or force applied, great for car engines where you apply a lot of force. For building a PC I think you're fine with Phillips and slot head which you do mention.

I cannot grasp how much this video doesn't make any sense. So you're complaining that you only need the screwdriver from this kit for pc building. BRO so why did you buy a fixing kit and saying its BAD value? Just buy the tool you need for the job. In this case, just the screwdriver...

What kit do you recommend for pc bulding? Opening gpus? Etc, thanks in advance!, nice videos btw.

PC's only use one kind of fastener so you most likely only need a basic screw driver. maybe cutters for the occasional zipties. But its different if you are also doing water cooling. Then you'll need a tube cutter (cleaner straight cuts matter).

I fixed my Xbox one wireless (PC) Contoller with this kit. The kit was cheaper then buying a new Controller ;) And that was only the 1st fix. So there it is for me, definately worth it.

I bought that second one you suggested with the tweezers. Really nice for ten bucks and it also comes with the bits to tighten stand-offs.

Mate you got the kit for like smartphone repairs and stuff..... Even the description says "The Essential Electronics Toolkit is what you need for the most essential electronics repairs-like screen and battery swaps-and everything you need for most household DIY fixes". This kit was NOT made specific for PC-builders. Something more appropriate is the "Mako Driver Kit" witch has all the bits you need including a Magnet to get the screws you drop.

You need a few tools to fix things. I bought a pro set from home depot that I have been using for 18 years. I agree with you that for PC you only need 2-3 tools only.

So, for building PC's you do only really need a regular screwdriver and that's it. Unless you are opening apart anything else, all PC components are either phillips screws or just thumbscrews. Now, I'd see it's utility for opening an LCD monitor, or anything else besides putting a PC together, as in, removing the cooler from a GPU, those usually have tiny screws.

I dont understand why you bought this kit. For the money you could have bought 2-3 top brand screwdrivers wera, wiha? This for repairs not builds?

:^) buys a phone and tablet repair kit complays its not worth the money. Easy... for building a normal PC all you need is Philips 2 and 1. Ifixit kits are worth if you want to work on all sorts of things and they are cheaper then pro precision screw drivers from Wera or Wiha, if you wan quality and long time waranty. You can use no name brands bits and accessories with ifixit stuff too, they use standard bit sizes.

A computer builder needs 2-filips screwdrivers. one regular and one smaller. One flathead screwdriver and a high-quality thermal paste. Very useful is the PSU tester. A professional pc repairman still needs a multimeter, cheap Chinese soldering station with a soldering iron and a hot air gun. It is possible to replace a bad PSU or motherboard capacitors, mosfets, inductors or IO chip

For pc building you need one screwdriver and you will be fine, specially with cases that focus on tool-less design.

Sure, but if you are pc building surely you are interested in maintaining and repairing around the home. That is where these kits, especially the larger ones, come into their own. Even if I did only need one screwdriver for pc building I wouldn't buy that one screwdriver, designate it for pc building, and never expect to use it for anything else. But I would be extremely limited with just that. I recently needed to clean out a hair dryer, it has a screw that needs a bit you don't get in any cheap sets but you do with the larger ifixit set. Without that it is just a disposible item that you buy a new one every time. A quick clean out and it was working perfectly again. And I may not need to open a phone or some other devices, but I have helped friends with repairs for things like that twice since I got one. And if one day I do have a need (more than possible in todays world) I can. Throw in lifetime replacement of all parts and it is hard to pretend it is worth stckinh to one Philips screwdriver because for one specific need (so far) you can generally get away with it. You also tend to self limit, you may find yourself expanding rather than instinctively ignoring things you could use but your one screwdriver is not enough.

For building pc.... all you need is a Philips (+) screw driver. In most some cases you don't even need one as you can turn the screws by hand. This is more like a tinkering kit. If you want to DIY then things like this will be quite handy.

if your only complain is u dont think u need them that is not bad u will nether no when u need them tools a screw in my glasses came lose throw lock down and i had to buy a tiny screw driver to do them back up. say your screen brakes on your phone at lest with this u have the option to try and fix it if u felt like it. or u want to unscrew a xbox one controller because the LT is sticking u can with this same with a mouse the only thing i think this is missing is a keyboarded key remover witch i need. i pried a key off the other day because it was sticking and f me it is dirty under the keys i did fix it but it is still dirty under there when i get a tool for the job i will take all off and clean. you can not call your self a true techy if you do not try and fix any tech that brakes.
