Belkin F8E062 55-Piece Computer Tool Kit with Black Case (Demagnetized Tools) Reviews

• Used by a computer tech for 3 years

  
  By A2BE5DIKVCBTMK on 2000-10-28
  This is the kit the company I work for bought for the computer support technicians. It is more of a general electronics tool kit than the specialized computer tool kits Belkin offers, but I have found plenty of uses for the kit outside of the office (but don't tell my boss that). I've been using the kit for 3 years now, and the only thing that is not original is the flashlight - that is the only really cheap thing in the kit - get a Mini-Mag to replace it and you'll be fine. This kit includes an allen wrench set, mini pocket screwdriver, small diagonal cutters, long nose pliers, wire stripper, mini-screwdriver set, 6" extended phillips bit, pen knife, IC chip remover, tweezers, soldering iron with solder and wick, parts retriever and a ratcheting screwdriver with standard, phillips, torx, and square bits and both metric and standard sockets with a socket bit. I've used this kit on PC computers, laptops, wiring of all sorts, electronics repairs, home repairs, etc. All the tools (with the exception of the flashlight) have survived 3 years of use and are still going strong. The only other casualty has been the elastic in the case in some spots. Overall a very good general electronics took kit and far better than all the other "computer tool kits" that I've ever owned - some costing just as much with tools that didn't last a year of lighter use. Spend the few extra dollars and get a Belkin tool kit - the 36-piece computer tool kit, the "kitchen sink" 65-piece too kit, or this excellent, more general purpose 55-piece tool kit. I am confident that you'll be as pleased with it as I have been over the years.
  
  

• Items are of moderate quality and usefulness

  
  By A12ANFNOSMW5VD on 2006-07-27
  The tools included make a decent basic computer toolkit. The tools are unlikely to break with heavy use, but they will certainly rust eventually. I've been using these kits in various forms for years and all the pliers and bit drivers have ended up rusty.
  
  The soldering iron is cheap. The flashlight is crap.
  
  I would gladly pay another $25 for the kit if it contained a powerful LED flashlight with a smaller footprint and a basic power driver instead of the manual ratchet driver.
  
  

• Good Universal Kit

  
  By A168IPNQXFEZE5 on 2006-12-03
  I'm a computer technician and I've had this toolkit for probably 5 or 6 years, while some of the tools are more electronics specific, the best part is the case itself. The case has held up remarkably over the years and is very universal, the torque screwdriver's torque component broke making it useless, but I easily replaced it with a Craftsman Torque Screwdriver which is much more durable, and the bits are of course compatible. The material covering the outside of the case just recently started chipping off, so here I am looking to buy another one (I just wish it didn't have to come with the tools again) I've also replaced the cheap flashlight with a quality maglite. The needle nose pliers also got bent to the point of being useless as well, but this is after years of use.
  
  Back in our tech bench area we have probably 4 or 5 toolkits laying around, all of them are the $10-15 types with cheap tools and a cheap case, I cannot imagine using any of those for real onsite repairs.
  
  This toolkit could be better, but it's the perfect size and unlike the molded plastic kits, the tools are easy to upgrade or replace.

  As a novice in the computer building/modification field, I found the tool kit to be exactly what I was looking for. Combine that with the discounted price and free shipping it was a great deal too!!
  
  

• Great tool kit for working on laptop

  
  By A3QDNQUOS5NRKU on 2007-04-10
  I bought this tool kit after searching the web for about a week looking for one that had all of the items I needed to take apart my mother's laptop and replace the power supply plug. It worked great, the price was the best I found and it had everything included that I needed to repair the laptop. I am very satisfied.
  
  
• Best deal around. Order it now!
  By A3371Y8JF3XOMP on 2005-08-09
  I don't think you'll find a better deal on this type of toolkit anywhere. You get a decent selection of tools and they are not bad quality. CDW actually has this exact item for $58.99, so don't bother looking around anymore and order it from Amazon today!

  This item is good but I think the kit should have an antistatic strap. This would incease safety for the user and the equipment.
  
  
• Computer repair tool kit
  By A1EINL5JRY06J on 2008-10-11
  We bought this for our 6th grader who takes apart old electronic devices-he loves the kit-everything has a place and instead of using regular tools to explore and learn-he has the correct computer tools with the correct heads on the screwdrivers and nippers.
  
  
• Great Toolkit
  By A1KJHM0CQOV5S6 on 2005-03-21
  Nice arrangment of tools. Didnt give it 5 Stars because the screw driver handle is little bulky. But that's not a big problem really.
  
  
• Great Package, and fast Free shipping
  By AURP91181WITS on 2005-03-31
  I order the package and I got it in three days. I am very satisfy with by order. Tools seems to be good quality.
  
  
• Great product
  By A19YK9YYRBKHEX on 2005-09-28
  Everything looks like really good quality and all the parts worked, even the batteries. However, when I opened the box all the parts were spread out everywhere inside of the case, but other than that, it looked just fine. Some of the tools were also not fully assembled, I'll just leave it at that. Great product, but make sure you can put everything back into the case.
  
  
• This is a nice set of basic computer tools.
  By AT7DFBYMLT0K1 on 2005-10-18
  It's a good set at a good price made by a good company. Can I say more? Yes. The wire strippers don't look like much, but they work great.
  
  
• you get what you pay for...
  By A1C9LGG0KFDI04 on 2006-07-21
  I would expect a kit with a soldering gun to have a small roll of solder with it; but not this one. Not bad for the price though.
  
  
• Good deal!!!
  By AZ8SKGZS58BFK on 2007-01-05
  I take electronic classes in college and these tools work great! the only bad parts are the flashlight and the wire strippers are cheap. but i love the rest, i've used these tools a lot in the last 4 months and all are still in great condition.

  The Belkin tool kit are one of the best out there. My only complaint is that the battery of the flashlight came dead, actually with oxide.

• Good gift for computer hobbyist
  By A36A6QWJ8D5JM4 on 2008-01-08
  Bought as gift for my son, he found it immediately useful for some computer upgrades he also received at the holidays. These tools came in handy for installing parts in the hard to reach areas of the computer tower. Good value for a functional kit.
