Hama PC Tool Kit (Professional)
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!

Sim Card Back Up And Editing Tool
Sim Card Back Up And Editing Tool Insurance is always a good idea in hindsight however I recommend precaution. For instance if your phone was left in the back of a cab or stolen from your table would you know any of your friends numbers. Ill bet that you dont mainly because I know for a fact that I dont. I have enough trouble remembering my own numberWhile the Sim Bank cant guarantee the location of your phone what it can do is make life a bit easier when something bad does happen. Storing the contents of your simcard you can also use it to duplicate data between phones and even enter additional information. Connect it to your pc and you have full control of all your contacts and the knowledge that whatever happens to your phone youre not going to be alone Summary A minimum hassle alternative to tracking down all your friends numbers when you lose your phone. Highly recommended.

Customer Review: Where it all began
Its hard to believe the band that composed Lateralus wrote this isnt it?! This is mostly an intelligent old skool metal album, but with a unique Tool twist. The live recordings are amazing quality. This is an angry, angst ridden EP, and well worth the money, even if its only 6 songs. It is an awesome foundation for things to come. And it contains songs that rank among Tools very best: Cold and Ugly, Hush

This is a beautifully constructed piece of gardening software. It’s simple to use, has clear plant care and pruning advice, stunning images to help identify plants and has a practical use as an efficient quick and easy plant encyclopaedia resource.

If you need assistance with the CD you can call the team who are polite and helpful. This is a genuine British made product unlike so many of the other garden software on the market which are often made abroad, and now lagging well behind.
