Computer repair tools for fixing a desktop or laptop computer are very affordable since they can cost as little as $20 or less if you buy the tools as a bundled kit on Amazon, eBay, or on sale at a store. Computer tools are also pretty easy to use since most computer parts like Power supply, PCI expansion cards, PCI Express and AGP video cards, and hard drives are screwed to the computer case with Philips cross head screws of different sizes after you inserted your parts into an AGP, PCI, PCI-Express card slot, hard drive or optical drive bay or adapter. It is important to use screw drivers made for computer repair to avoid damaging your computer, or the screws. The screw drivers and other tools like pliers, wire stripper, wire cutters, and tongs are also not magnetized like some screw drivers and tools made for wood working to make picking up wood screws easier. Magnets can damage a computer, and its data.
Using your own computer tool kit which you bought at an online store to repair your own computer is cheaper than going out to buy a new computer when one or more parts like RAM, video card, and hard drive can easily be replaced for under $50 in many cases if you buy and install the part yourself. Repairing your own PC is also cheaper than bringing it to an electronics or computer repair store to repair your PC. It will probably be cheaper buying your tools as a kit rather than going to a computer store which sell computer repair tools like soldering irons, different types of screw drivers, and other tools for higher prices. Tools from a computer tool kit are also higher quality than some tools sold for low prices at a discount store.
