+npsantini I have a feeling that if you put a magnetic parts tray in the same bag with all these other electronics, you might fuck something up. Magnets don't agree with computers.
***** All right, that's good to know. Is it all right if I put my welding magnet in the bag too? The magnet in there isn't too strong. It can only hold like a 15kg peice of metal. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Nick Evans What about the 300W gas powered generator? I always have one in my truck when I am going to a clients site. That way if there is a power failure I am a hero. Its happened twice to me. Funny I always wonder why they consider the staff fridge such a priority for power and not the server running their website,,,awwweelll the customer is always right. (LOL!)
DeltaPhi79 You missed the point entirely. While everyone knows you can use your phone for light in various ways; none of them really compare to an actual dedicated flashlight in form or function.
the bag is meant for onsite work, what he has is actually cool, he would be able to fix a computer from the jurassic era with the stuff he is always carrying around, of course only actual technicians would know that
Near my location you can drive an hour and find areas with no cell network. You can get really bad satellite and copper internet and just plug in to the modem.
Gotta keep with the times Linus .... get your outdated usb rubish outa here and get some ps2 compatibly in there. Saying that it could be worse you could have that outdated thunderbolt rubish.
falling down while you need to put it in your mouth while you hold something with both hands... and crack the screen... and the warranty is void because your spit counts as water damage... that's why you go flashlight...
+Mishotaki well if I was going to have a bit bag like that, I'd have my edc knife and flashlight on my person, but I'd probably have something more powerful or with a longer battery life in my bag.
***** You would be surprised. Sometimes there's more legacy hardware floating around than we would like. Also, if you are migrating ancient data, you can't be ill prepared.
***** I went on a internship at the Max-Plank-Institute for Ironresearch in Düsseldorf, Germany. They still use some computers with floppy disks for some of there devices...
***** Your breath carries moisture as well. So when you blow on a computer component sometimes it can cause some moisture on the component. Not so great.
***** I wanna do that when I'm a bit older. I'm 14 and I do quite a lot of local tech repair...any tips or anything you could give me? I've built computers etc as well.
I carry one around, but it does a /lot/. Like, everything from algebra to unit conversions to integrals, and it even has a library of constants... But his, I have no idea. It's just a silly little old calculator.
David Jeffers I carry a Casio FX-9750GII graphic calculator. I find Casio to have a more intuitive and feature-rich interface and it is much cheaper than most Texas Instruments models.
Dash Lambda The iFixit kit has a knife which covers 90% of what you'd need a knife for. I always carry a bigger utility or lockback knife, just in case, but I find I only ever use them to open boxes. D: I always carry a microphone of some kind, but it's usually just a crappy one, just so I can check sound cards, etc.
Well i do agree that it is Totally unnecessary to have an ipad (jk...jk), but tablets on the other hand are very useful when combined with a laptop, especially when you are working in an area you are going to need to be moving around a lot, the laptop acts as home base and the tablet (with low storage space) via RPD can access whatever you need, not to mention looking for dead spots in wireless, quick skype sessions to show your boss/client damaged equipment... etc...
Randy Cherry In America, you'd get shot to pieces by the guy you're mugging before you could even take anything. Unless it's a leftist or almost any millenial.
I also cut up old power supplies and keep the connectors/cables in my bag. That way you dont need those molex/sata adapters etc. just wire in a new one to the PSU
extra screws.. pc case screws can be stored away where you store the screwdriver bits. also a good place is a pill bottle, i usually keep a few bios batteries with them too.
Personally, I would add a SATA/USB to IDE adapter, who knows how old their system is? Also a flashlight. And lastly, a universal laptop charger rather than your personal one (in case they have a problem with theirs), and some extra standard pc power cables. I also like to have a vga, dvi and hdmi cable, because again, you never know what they have
1. Compressed air can. Mine's nearly empty, but it has come in handy before. 2. A few different OS Install USB's. I carry a Windows 8.1, Windows 7, and Ubuntu. 3. I also have Hiren's BootCD on a USB, which has saved more than a few HDD's full of data before. 4. Also carry a spare VGA cable and HDMI cable. These have both saved me more than once. Another couple - not related to tech - is antiperspirant deodorant, and baby wipes. If you haven't used baby wipes to wipe up after a toilet break, you're missing out. Aside from that, you've covered every base [and more!] that I have. I wouldn't carry a laptop AND tablet, unless I was visiting somewhere where I was staying overnight [like relatives for example], but one or the other is very handy [Surface Pro 3 perhaps?] But nicely done! A lot of people ask why my bag's so heavy, and this is the reason!
Yumi bro... Yumi... You can set thumb drives (8 gig for just the OS, or 16 to add Diags) to boot from anything that uses Grub to boot, you can install all versions of windows ( some have to be virtualized), and they take up far less space than multiple portable hard drives. One portable, 750 Gb to 1 Tb would be enough to carry any off the wall drivers, utilities, or backup storage that you would need.... unless you're dealing with data centers, but hopefully you would be fore-warned of said situation...
Items I have in my kit that you did not mention; Flashlight (with headband for turning it into a headlight), knife/multitool, lighter (several-bic), electrician scissors, Linesman pliers, side cutters, mini flush-cut side cutters, revers-open tweezers, angled blunt tip ESD proof tweezers, straight fine-tip tweezers, slip-joint pliers, butane soldering iron with respective accouterments, innards of cat5e cable (several short pieces for use as jumpers, etc...), heat shrink tube, voltage detector (not the same thing as a multimeter!), spare VGA, HDMI, and DVI cables, spare PC 3-prong power cable, velvro cable ties, zip ties of assorted sizes, double-sided velcro tape, a network cable tester (two piece model for testing longer runs), tone probe, extra rj45 ends and crimper, punch-down tool, various console cable, Ethernet loopback plug, crossover cable, Ethernet couplers, a GB 6-port Ethernet switch(I saw you mention the router, I prefer just carry one of these cheep dumb switches because no config is nice when you are stressed and in a hury!), DUCT TAPE(Gorilla brand), black and silver sharpie, small zip-lock baggies for holding parts/screws, a few salvaged hdd magnets (for holding screws), pens&pad of paper, and a laser thermometer... i think that is about it, this in addition to many of the things you already mentioned. By far my most used item day to day is my flashlight, cant believe you did not mention that!? ...or am i just blind/deaf lol. Something to keep in mine is that I am a Desktop and network support tech so I would expect my kit to be a bit more complete than a hobbyist, just figured i'd list it out to help others.
GraymanTactics he has a flashlight in his phone right ? But the headband yeah I agree but it is a bit less common to need a headlight than most of the other stuff he said tbh.
You could use a few more things, Linus: A couple of stock AMD and Intel heatsinks, just in case of overheating problems A keyboard A very small monitor, like 9 inch one, never know A small vacuum for PC dust removal A copy of all of the Windows OSes since Windows 95 A copy of Ubuntu LTS A copy of DBAN
Planning on building this set up, what do you guys think? Any suggestions towards better parts? Mobo: Msi z87-gd65 Cpu: Core i5 4670k Ram: Corsair vengeance 8gb 1600mhz Gpu: Gtx 780 Sc 3gb ddr5 Psu: Corsair RM Series 750 Watt
A few things I carry are a 3 prong tweezer. You can see an image of one here: www.hobbycraft.co.uk/SupplyImages/567714_1000_1_800.jpg It has helped me retrieve numerous tiny screws I've accidentally dropped in the labyrinth of silicon in a computer. I also have a wire hanger I bent so I can use it to fish wires through holes when running ethernet or power cords. I have a ethernet crimper so I can make custom lengths of ethernet and phone lines. Finally a hard drive cradle which lets you connect any type of hard drive to it and turns it into an external hard drive via USB. Great for running diagnostics on hard drives and/or transferring data. Oh and of course a soldering iron.
Compressed Air and a lamp are must-haves, also (since i used to repair 360-consoles) i also have tork-screwset and yeah they're fucking impossible to get your hands on if you doesnt want to order on the net...
Stahle Frid A lot of retail stores now carry the ifixit kit, and it has torx bits. He mentioned that he didn't like the quality, but, honestly, my kit looks different (newer?) than the one he has and I've never had a bit bend/break on me.
What do you mean? I just bought a torx 5-10, 15, and 20 set from harbor freight for 7 dollars. Came with a screwdriver, stiff extension, and flexible extension too
Christopher Pilcher he will have been using the wrong bit, a lot of people cant tell the difference between pz and "pz/sl" so they round the heads of when the bits/drivers slip. now those bits are hard to find
ashley beaumont Well, he mentioned that the SSD had an OS on it. It's probably something light and portable with plenty of diagnostic tools. Like Kali. :P
It's funny, i'm like a merge between Slick & Linus. Mouse/Mousepad, Microwave Ramen Bowl, Large Notepad, Calculator, TONS of flash drives (few 4gb/8gb for bootable os's, few 16gb and larger for file transfers, program install files, etc.) The one thing that i'd recommend over the external hdd, especially if your doing multi-media and or networking troubleshooting ... get a HUGE external hdd. 2TB or larger minimum. I've backed up multiple systems on mine and it has saved me time and time again. Also if you're a network tech/cable tech, always have your industry tools such as punch downs, crimpers, strippers, butt set, etc. Also ... linus ... I need that screwdriver! :O That'd save my knuckles SO MUCH!
The Windows Vista logo on it is an anti-theft measurement.
Had one in my wallet for a bit
That bag opens into a fucking black hole!
it is a doraemon pocket
What do I carry in my backpack? Everything. This backpack makes the weapons carrying limits in GTA look minuscule.
MaryPoppinsBagTips

Then he goes through the airport security
xSplayd Can just imagine him re-saying this entire video to the person at the security desk
***** :)
Best comment ever to be at the top of this video
xSplayd Cant you just slide your whole backpack through security? I dont remember having to show security everything in my backpack
xSplayd I'd just grab the iPad and show the guy the video...
this makes all "Whats in my bag" videos look like a joke
Martin Dikliev ikr
When the new backpack launches we need a THEN vs NOW video featuring this blast from the past
I was waiting for him to pull out an full ATX MB CPU RAM and GPU like Titan just cuz "you never know when they'll come in handy" :D
nice joke .....
Superb!
+DamageIncM bag of holding, it's in the DMG, sometimes even the player's guide.

+npsantini I have a feeling that if you put a magnetic parts tray in the same bag with all these other electronics, you might fuck something up. Magnets don't agree with computers.
+Retz The magnetic tray doesnt have a strong enough magnet to harm any electronics.
***** All right, that's good to know.
Is it all right if I put my welding magnet in the bag too? The magnet in there isn't too strong. It can only hold like a 15kg peice of metal.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Mary Poppins called, she wants her bag back
+Patrick Jackson lol that was great
+Patrick Jackson Mary Poppins used Windows Vista?
Linus you missed a graphics card
You missed a motherboard
You missed a case
You missed a desk
You missed a chair
You missed a 4k monitor
Nick Evans What about the 300W gas powered generator? I always have one in my truck when I am going to a clients site. That way if there is a power failure I am a hero. Its happened twice to me. Funny I always wonder why they consider the staff fridge such a priority for power and not the server running their website,,,awwweelll the customer is always right. (LOL!)
Nick Evans he missed a house
***** he missed a harddrive
XybaZ swe he had an external hard drive
Collin McDaniel -_- ok
Linus, you forgot to tell everyone they will need rank 2 of the strong back perk to run this setup.
VIIXM3 Or to walk
Seriously, no compressed air?
didn't even realize that
Michael Kaczmarczyk yeah
i started wtfing at the router part
This reminds me of poeple in my school that have huge backpacks and look like they have a entire full tower PC on their back
The router is one of the few things I understand, hotel wifi sucks but some have their own Ethernet ports in each room.
joost van den Berg Exception is...Linus would probably pull this off :P
Kid: Why's your backpack so big?
Linus: It's a portable PC.
Kid: Wat o_o
his bag was an overloaded mess, but as a former on-site repair tech, you would be surprised how regularly you need a router
+CowTipper989 OMG I use that trick all the time but name it "FREE WIFI for (Hotel Name)" so people next door can use it
UsB Killer... because... that's how I make business... and no further questions now
It's like Santa's infinite bag of wonders.
i feel bad that he had to put ALL of that back in the bag
Did I just miss it or do you not carry a flashlight?
Smartphones have flashlights :P
CowTipper989 They really don't.
Berelore Any phone with a flash can be used as a flashlight.
DeltaPhi79 You missed the point entirely. While everyone knows you can use your phone for light in various ways; none of them really compare to an actual dedicated flashlight in form or function.
Berelore There's also the fact that some phones don't have flash...
This video should actually be called "Linus pulls random shit out of a bag."
I agree
the bag is meant for onsite work, what he has is actually cool, he would be able to fix a computer from the jurassic era with the stuff he is always carrying around, of course only actual technicians would know that
I Carry a cheapy graphics card to help with rule out video card issues
Andrew Johnstone Such good advice.
Christopher Pilcher I carry a Quadro FX 1500 A truely peice of shit card
Andrew Johnstone I typically carry around my previous personal graphics card, so that it's not too out of date. Currently it's a GTX 750 Ti.
Christopher Pilcher I carry a shitty card so if something blows up it doesn't matter
Andrew Johnstone that's probably a good idea. I should find a cheaper one.
You missed a motherboard, cpu,power supply, pc case, ram sticks and a graphics card.
You never know when you need a full pc.
Satya Hydrogen what about the laptop
serious tacos no full size graphics card
USB to Ethernet adapter! Because so many notebooks dont have ethernet ports these days..
+Aurva Roy wait.. R u joking or not it seems like your joking but it seems like you might be serious
+Aurva Roy ok so like if it's wifi is broken?
Aurva Roy mobile internet much?
Near my location you can drive an hour and find areas with no cell network. You can get really bad satellite and copper internet and just plug in to the modem.
I was hoping he'd pull out a freakin LG ultrawide monitor saying, 'Never know when that'll come in handy'.
You're using the Infinite Expansion charm, aren't you?
Usb to ps2 and ps2 to usb
lel
stay classy, kids.
i actually cant boot into my bios without a ps2 because for some reason, my usb devices only detect after boot up. it sucks
Not to mention a ps2 compatible mouse
Gotta keep with the times Linus .... get your outdated usb rubish outa here and get some ps2 compatibly in there. Saying that it could be worse you could have that outdated thunderbolt rubish.
Holy shit. Its like the hyper cube from jimmy neutron
MOLEX to SATA- for when you need to start a fire in a computer.
You'll never know when that will come in handy
Peter Corti My mixtape works just fine
You forgot a flashlight.
+James Russell that should be on your person at all time, instead of in a bag... I know I wear mine...
falling down while you need to put it in your mouth while you hold something with both hands... and crack the screen... and the warranty is void because your spit counts as water damage... that's why you go flashlight...
+Mishotaki well if I was going to have a bit bag like that, I'd have my edc knife and flashlight on my person, but I'd probably have something more powerful or with a longer battery life in my bag.
ony mous hey, that on I agree with, a headlamp is great to have for computer work when the lighting is not awesome!
Didn't even read this thread, but had to comment on Captainyolo's complete inability to spell.
why no condoms
no risk, no fun

lOl !!!!

no toothbrush, either
1:09 "A webcam. Never know when one of those is gonna come in handy".

Are we ever going to see an updated version of this now that you've switched over to the Razer Tactical Pro backpack?
Are we ever going to see an updated version of this now that this video is six years old? Is he waiting for the ten-year anniversary?
@@drippingwax 9 years now:(
you forgot a floppy disk adapter
***** You would be surprised. Sometimes there's more legacy hardware floating around than we would like. Also, if you are migrating ancient data, you can't be ill prepared.
you make my floppy discs... hard drives
Zing.
***** My grandfather. In fact, he doesn't use normal floppys, he uses 2" floppys. He is crazy.

I went on a internship at the Max-Plank-Institute for Ironresearch in Düsseldorf, Germany. They still use some computers with floppy disks for some of there devices...
That bag is narnia... How big is the bag 😅
Big enough for a horsey named Philip?
dam this is a real tech bag!!!!..... do a present day version 2017..
Noel jobu nah man 2018. Get on my level.
@@amethystcash3677 How about a 2019 one?
Alex Bridenbaker nah man 3019. Get on my level.
Bring some extra CMOS batteries!
Why didn't you have any extra Motherboards of Power Supplies in the bag... lol NOOB!
You forgot a piece of lead just to make it a little bit heavier. ;-)
I used to carry around so much crap...then I got smart and made the customer bring the computer to my shop/home. Best thing I ever did.
I too fix computers a lot,and he is not bluffing about how many tools you will need
in the tech world, on a daily bases. Nice vid.
Slow down Hermione, what if somebody sees you pulling things out of your bewitched bag of endlessness XD
Do you also carry a couple PSUs, CPUs, GPUs, Mobos, RAM and cables for an impromptu build?
Pretty good setup there, but..
Compressed air, a flash light and a power cord?
*****
I thought about that, but phones can't match the power of a good flashlight.
***** Your breath carries moisture as well. So when you blow on a computer component sometimes it can cause some moisture on the component. Not so great.
*****
"Most places you go have them."
Wouldn't be sure about that.
Breath?
1. Moisture.
2. No where near as powerful.
They forgot the weed! :D
***** If you ever need a spare power cord, chances are they will NOT have one!
because if they had one you would not need one :P
"With a nice durable case on it *SLAM ONTO LAPTOP*"
Oh Linus ....
I mean that's a gorilla glass shell+screen laptop with SSDs inside
It was definitely fine
Really? No flashlight?
no need these days since your phone can do it

15 mins to unload ur backpack... xDD
that's when you know you did it right. (takes 5 minutes to empty all pockets)
Now just think of how long it must have taken to get everything back into the bag
37 seconds. no talking needed. everything is labeled probably lol
it depends on what kind of work you are doing

Seems totally unnecessary to have the iPad AND the laptop.
Well i do agree that it is Totally unnecessary to have an ipad (jk...jk), but tablets on the other hand are very useful when combined with a laptop, especially when you are working in an area you are going to need to be moving around a lot, the laptop acts as home base and the tablet (with low storage space) via RPD can access whatever you need, not to mention looking for dead spots in wireless, quick skype sessions to show your boss/client damaged equipment... etc...

I'm surprised your go to fan wasn't a Noctua nf-f12 hahah
Soldering iron
Julian Fernandez Barcellona I'm surprised he didn't include this. That said, I don't like to solder unless I'm at my station at home anyway.
Christopher Pilcher weller pyropen, solder sucker and good solder works perfectly
I also cut up old power supplies and keep the connectors/cables in my bag. That way you dont need those molex/sata adapters etc. just wire in a new one to the PSU
Great Video! Now I know what items to expect when I rob you.
that's pretty complete. i also tend to use a headlamp quite often as well as a magnifying glass, since i have poor vision.
Same. It looks funky when you go to put it on, but it makes the build and repair process so much easier.
What a great idea, I can't believe I never thought of that before.
Is this a joke...
lol
Why should it be? The things he carries are actually quite helpful when visiting customers
As stated many times by your other commentators: where is the torch?
His phone would have a torch?
indeed sir, you are right.
Alex Armstrong I love having a head torch though. As sometimes you cant get your phone on the right angle to see.
Alex Armstrong torch is a light lol
Too flammable? lol
Sorry, couldn't resist :D
I'm starting to feel like this is a joke just because of all the stuff he has haha
extra screws.. pc case screws can be stored away where you store the screwdriver bits. also a good place is a pill bottle, i usually keep a few bios batteries with them too.
This is the only time that something with Windows Vista branding was actually useful
omg your tool bag looks small but you fit a million things in there!!!
My thoughts exact...Mary freaking Popins with that bag! ...just kept pulling more and more out of it.
Jeremy Cantwell Like clowns from a car
Jeremy Cantwell 1wsx10 Or maybe linus is the doctor and the bag is bigger on the inside
That's what she Said...

you should put togetber all of this stuff and sell it yourself as a linus tech tool kit id buy it
+TheAutisticGamer same
You need spare i7 4770k and a gtx 780tI
Personally, I would add a SATA/USB to IDE adapter, who knows how old their system is? Also a flashlight. And lastly, a universal laptop charger rather than your personal one (in case they have a problem with theirs), and some extra standard pc power cables. I also like to have a vga, dvi and hdmi cable, because again, you never know what they have
"for taking stuff apart the don't want you to take apart" :-)
he has the tardis bag
1. Compressed air can. Mine's nearly empty, but it has come in handy before.
2. A few different OS Install USB's. I carry a Windows 8.1, Windows 7, and Ubuntu. 3. I also have Hiren's BootCD on a USB, which has saved more than a few HDD's full of data before.
4. Also carry a spare VGA cable and HDMI cable. These have both saved me more than once.
Another couple - not related to tech - is antiperspirant deodorant, and baby wipes. If you haven't used baby wipes to wipe up after a toilet break, you're missing out.
Aside from that, you've covered every base [and more!] that I have. I wouldn't carry a laptop AND tablet, unless I was visiting somewhere where I was staying overnight [like relatives for example], but one or the other is very handy [Surface Pro 3 perhaps?]

Yea, I'd forgotten there were convertible's
ah real handy that Hiren's BootCD
Yumi bro... Yumi... You can set thumb drives (8 gig for just the OS, or 16 to add Diags) to boot from anything that uses Grub to boot, you can install all versions of windows ( some have to be virtualized), and they take up far less space than multiple portable hard drives. One portable, 750 Gb to 1 Tb would be enough to carry any off the wall drivers, utilities, or backup storage that you would need.... unless you're dealing with data centers, but hopefully you would be fore-warned of said situation...
It's weird hearing Luke being called Slick nowadays
U mean that was Luke ???
+Neeraj K Nair yes
MrTechlion okey
why is he called slick
Derek Lechner It was his online moniker for forums, games, etc.
Throughout the entire video I was wondering "what are you gonna pull out of your TARDIS bag next Linus?" XD
insert obligitory pop culture reference here
Items I have in my kit that you did not mention; Flashlight (with headband for turning it into a headlight), knife/multitool, lighter (several-bic), electrician scissors, Linesman pliers, side cutters, mini flush-cut side cutters, revers-open tweezers, angled blunt tip ESD proof tweezers, straight fine-tip tweezers, slip-joint pliers, butane soldering iron with respective accouterments, innards of cat5e cable (several short pieces for use as jumpers, etc...), heat shrink tube, voltage detector (not the same thing as a multimeter!), spare VGA, HDMI, and DVI cables, spare PC 3-prong power cable, velvro cable ties, zip ties of assorted sizes, double-sided velcro tape, a network cable tester (two piece model for testing longer runs), tone probe, extra rj45 ends and crimper, punch-down tool, various console cable, Ethernet loopback plug, crossover cable, Ethernet couplers, a GB 6-port Ethernet switch(I saw you mention the router, I prefer just carry one of these cheep dumb switches because no config is nice when you are stressed and in a hury!), DUCT TAPE(Gorilla brand), black and silver sharpie, small zip-lock baggies for holding parts/screws, a few salvaged hdd magnets (for holding screws), pens&pad of paper, and a laser thermometer... i think that is about it, this in addition to many of the things you already mentioned. By far my most used item day to day is my flashlight, cant believe you did not mention that!? ...or am i just blind/deaf lol. Something to keep in mine is that I am a Desktop and network support tech so I would expect my kit to be a bit more complete than a hobbyist, just figured i'd list it out to help others.
GraymanTactics he has a flashlight in his phone right ? But the headband yeah I agree but it is a bit less common to need a headlight than most of the other stuff he said tbh.
you missed a thermonuclear bomb
Lucca Pellegrini that would be when he used to watercool
Nothing says professional like pulling out a playboy mousepad almost very first thing. Yepppp, this guy has any tech problem under control.
The only thing extra in my bag are networking/telephony specific tools like punch-downs and butt sets.
+NinetyFour hehehe, you said butt sets, sounds like butt sex huehuehuehue
-facepalm-
+NinetyFour what is a butt set
It's also called a telephone tester, telephony tester, etc.
+NinetyFour lol why do they say telephony?
One thing I personally carry is a tent. You never know when your house is going to be evicted. . .
Team Wagy especially when you are a youtuber
I wonder if he ever flies with that lot, I would be paranoid about things getting stolen by the airport security and zip tie everything down.
your backpack is worth more than my house
all the things in that bag probably cost more than my build :(
i dont know if i should take this seriously
u should
It wasnt what i was expecting. He just kept pulling out a bunch of random stuff i would never take with me.

Its better to have more than not enough.
You could use a few more things, Linus:
A couple of stock AMD and Intel heatsinks, just in case of overheating problems
A keyboard
A very small monitor, like 9 inch one, never know
A small vacuum for PC dust removal
A copy of all of the Windows OSes since Windows 95
A copy of Ubuntu LTS
A copy of DBAN
Why the hell would u VACUUM your pc from dust..?
Why use a vacuum? Compressed air is WAY better
The Addiction 2 but IF u use a VACUUM there will be static electricity which can harm the components inside the case..
The vacuum is for the outside of the case, and if there is an air compressor that can fit in his bag, he can also use one, OK?
cad5359 okey.. so you are vacuuming outside of the case? how dusty is it in your house?
That Snap-on screwdriver is nice, but I feel like you should try the LTT screwdriver.
can of compressed air in case the client's computer contains a farm of dust bunnies
Playboy mouse mat.
'nuff said...
Youll love the screw driver you make in 9 years. Keep up the good work!
Planning on building this set up, what do you guys think? Any suggestions towards better parts?
Mobo: Msi z87-gd65
Cpu: Core i5 4670k
Ram: Corsair vengeance 8gb 1600mhz
Gpu: Gtx 780 Sc 3gb ddr5
Psu: Corsair RM Series 750 Watt
If you are getting an gtx780 I think 16 gb ram would do you good. Just what I think not necessary. Othervise it looks good
looks good, although I don't think you would need any more RAM unless you were doing any video editing of some sought. eg. (After Effects)
unboxtherapycomau Not what i just said :P
id go with a i7 4770k CPU but that's just personal preference
7:50 I've had alot of people asking me about my screwdriver. Dr. Who related? xD
I think innuendo...
Jacob Hill
could be both.
A few things I carry are a 3 prong tweezer. You can see an image of one here: www.hobbycraft.co.uk/SupplyImages/567714_1000_1_800.jpg It has helped me retrieve numerous tiny screws I've accidentally dropped in the labyrinth of silicon in a computer. I also have a wire hanger I bent so I can use it to fish wires through holes when running ethernet or power cords. I have a ethernet crimper so I can make custom lengths of ethernet and phone lines. Finally a hard drive cradle which lets you connect any type of hard drive to it and turns it into an external hard drive via USB. Great for running diagnostics on hard drives and/or transferring data. Oh and of course a soldering iron.
I think you almost got everything, although I recommend adding a monitor, a power supply and a computer case to your backpack.
You need an MRE.
Compressed Air and a lamp are must-haves, also (since i used to repair 360-consoles) i also have tork-screwset and yeah they're fucking impossible to get your hands on if you doesnt want to order on the net...
Stahle Frid A lot of retail stores now carry the ifixit kit, and it has torx bits. He mentioned that he didn't like the quality, but, honestly, my kit looks different (newer?) than the one he has and I've never had a bit bend/break on me.
What do you mean? I just bought a torx 5-10, 15, and 20 set from harbor freight for 7 dollars. Came with a screwdriver, stiff extension, and flexible extension too
Christopher Pilcher he will have been using the wrong bit, a lot of people cant tell the difference between pz and "pz/sl" so they round the heads of when the bits/drivers slip. now those bits are hard to find
Stahle Frid I spent $0.50 and got a torx set from a store. They had a pile of them
How much does that bag weigh?
Your collection of tools arouses me.
You forgot a kali or backtrack live usb drive
And a network cable tester
ashley beaumont Well, he mentioned that the SSD had an OS on it. It's probably something light and portable with plenty of diagnostic tools. Like Kali. :P
***** yeah, I was using kali more as an example of portable than light. I was a bit ambiguous.
but what if the extra cable is broken and he didn't know
ashley beaumont there is always the multimeter, he could just test each line for continuity.
Damn. My little box is insignificant now
It's funny, i'm like a merge between Slick & Linus.
Mouse/Mousepad, Microwave Ramen Bowl, Large Notepad, Calculator, TONS of flash drives (few 4gb/8gb for bootable os's, few 16gb and larger for file transfers, program install files, etc.)
The one thing that i'd recommend over the external hdd, especially if your doing multi-media and or networking troubleshooting ... get a HUGE external hdd. 2TB or larger minimum. I've backed up multiple systems on mine and it has saved me time and time again.
Also if you're a network tech/cable tech, always have your industry tools such as punch downs, crimpers, strippers, butt set, etc.
Also ... linus ... I need that screwdriver! :O That'd save my knuckles SO MUCH!
This is where the inspiration for the LTT screwdriver originally came from. Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver.
Let's see a new what's in my tech bag
Maybe a little led flashlight.
