Review of the Belkin F8E060 10-Piece Computer Tool Kit

Performing your own computer hardware upgrades or replacing defective parts inside your prized PC can be a great learning experience while saving money. The average cost per hour to have a professional work on your computer can run around $60 an hour.

For many people with older systems, paying an extraordinary amount for repairs to their PC can outweigh the value of the equipment itself. Doing common upgrades to the memory, processor, hard drive or even adding a DVD burner can save you a ton if doing the job yourself.

Most people can work on their computers with basic hand tools however with newer specialized designs incorporated today, you may need to purchase specific tools made for the purpose of computer repair. I and many others have tried to get away with not using the correct tools and the scenario often becomes sour whenever a component is needlessly damaged.

The Belkin F8E060 10-Piece Computer Tool Kit has everything you need to perform basic and some advanced repairs to your computer system. What makes the tools in this set better than what you have in your garage is the fact that the screwdrivers and other metal accessories are completely demagnetized. Having magnetized metal around electronic computer parts can possibly damage them; as can static electricity, so be sure to keep yourself grounded at all times to prevent issues.

Not only was I happy to purchase this compact tool set for all the specialty screwdrivers needed but the kit also comes with tools to remove processors and memory modules easily without any issue. The attractive black storage case is also a good feature as it will contain the small tools safely.

What I like even more than the IC extractor is the small set of tweezers that come with the kit. The tweezers make it an easy chore to retrieve an accidentally dropped screw that happened its way into the case.

So far I am really happy with the Belkin F8E060 10-Piece Computer Tool Kit. I often find myself using the tool set for other small and tedious repair jobs around the house more often than for my computer system itself.With a life time warranty from the manufacturer, I have no doubt that my small investment in this kit will be well worth the price for years to come. I highly recommend this kit to anyone owning a personal computer. With the right tools and a little bit of patience, you can save a great deal of money performing your own computer component upgrades.
