Hama PC Tool Kit (Professional)
Amazon Price: ?15.94
Customer Review: All the essentials
This is a very nice kit to start off with. The included screwdrivers and ratchet kit cover the common sizes found inside a PC, although bizarrely they’ve included more Torx bits than anything else. Picking up extra bits for the driver should be a piece of cake, though. The magnetic attachment for the ratchet is a godsend, frankly. The pliers and tweezers make light work of those fiddly motherboard headers and the wire trimmers may well come in handy. By far the best thing in the kit is the odd little three-prong grippy widget, which proves itself to be much better than pliers or tweezers at fishing small objects out of odd places. My only real problems with the pack are the IC remover (beginners shouldn’t need one an experts know they shouldn’t use them) and the torch. I was hoping for a cheap-and-cheerful LED flashlight but instead there’s a translucent purple incandescent torch which looks like it came from a christmas cracker. I’ve got an LED light handy anyway, but a little bit of consideration would’ve rounded out the kit nicely.
Customer Review: Excellent for around the house not just for computers
I bought one of these when I was to have a go at building a PC but it has become indispensable around the house for all sorts of jobs - at this price you won’t regret it!

Collins Complete DIY Manual
List Price: ?24.99
Used Price: ?4.70
Customer Review: Excellent
Title sums it up really. Bought as I was starting to renovate an old house. It’s got damp, needs bathrooms, kitchens, exterior problems etc…. This book helps a lot to indentify and solve these, at a minimum you know what you can do and when to call in the professionals!
Customer Review: How to do everything … in two paragraphs
There is no denying the scope of this book is, to say the least, comprehensive. It covers almost every topic imaginable in DIY from dry lining your basement to capping the chimney and covers it at every range whether you just want to change a fuse or rewire the entire building. That scope though is both its virtue and its problem. Yes I can pick this up and be fairly confident that it will tell me how to go about building a stud wall but I know that it is also likely to be something of an overview of the subject rattled off in a few paragraphs. Often that is enough. There are a lot of jobs where a grasp of the basics and a willingness to have a go are good enough and if I’m laying new paving slabs I’ll read this and go for it. Alternatively there are some jobs where I’d like a little more expertise than this can provide. Yes this book will tell me how to change the main fuse box but I’m not going to do that when it means working on the live side of a 100 amp line! In those cases though at least it lets me know roughly how difficult the job is so that I don’t sound like a complete numpty when I call an electrician and ask if they could replace the ‘thingummy by the front door with the fuses in it’. I’d say to anyone that they should buy this book even if you don’t ever intend to do the DIY yourself. If you do the DIY this is a good first reference to find out what to do. If it’s not comprehensive enough then it will give enough of an overview that you will know what to look for when searching for more detail and if you do get someone else to do the job you’ve a better chance of knowing if they’re doing the right thing.
