Small toolkit for computers and electronics?

I need a small toolkit to work with computers and other hobby electronics and was wondering what people would recommend? I looked at the iFixit toolkit and it looks good but was curious if any other options are out there.

I have had the ifixit pro tech kit for several years now, not needed anything else tbh.

Cool. Thank you very much. I'll get that then.

Couple of crosshead screwdrivers, no1 & 2, needle nose pliers and cutters that's about.

Don't really need a toolkit tbh

I mean that's true.

I got it as a present, can't be sure being as tight as I am I'd have ever got one :cry:

That kit has all sorts of gubbins good for other things too, used it on watches and phones so it's worth it if it's for more than just a pc.

I think I'll just get the toolkit as you can just put in a draw out of the way and I don't have to faff about with getting individual pieces.

iFixit Mako 64 bit kit will last you a lifetime and does a whole range of devices.

Another one for the iFixit kits. They are fantastic.

If you're really lazy like me, I would also recommend the DeWalt 12V electric screwdriver.
