A little something I carry for those times you need to migrate data from a computer that will not boot to a new computer.

This little gem has been a life saver more than once.

I wish I had a toolkit. But, I think this is an excellent guide, and furthermore, you seem to have done an excellent job of keeping the toolkit multipurpose and multi-functional, perhaps even allowing for minor fixes outside of anything “tech” related. Going to share this article for sure, and I can’t wait to read the second part of the article. Thank you for this information.

This is one of the pleasant surprises of browsing/surfing or whatever you want to call it. You are able to easily discover something that matters or at least entertains. I like you to know that I enjoyed this.

I carry most of the tools listed here except the hand sanitizer. I wash my hand with water after the job is done.

I’d like to suggest an alternative to the Classic Swiss Army Knife. While it is quite useful, I have found the Swiss Army Cyber Tool 29 to be very versatile. http://www.swissarmy.com/MultiTools/Pages/Product.aspx?category=doityourself&product=54919

I love this post – most of these tools are with me 24 hours a day and I often feel like a doctor carrying around my version of a stethoscope and thermometer!

The best tool I now have (not technically a tool I know) was attending the CCNA courses through Cisco as I found that as a self employed computer technician I completely opened up a whole new world of job opportunities once I got these qualifications…
