You don't need an expensive toolkit to build your own computer, but there
are a few simple electronics tools that you absolutely must have. All of these can be
easily obtained at almost any computer store or online.
You may already have some of these tools. If not, then the easiest way to get the
tools you need is to purchase a computer repair tool kit that contains all the tools
you'll need, as well as a handy carrying case to keep them organized.
As with all tools, you should buy the best quality computer tools that you can
afford. Good tools last longer and make the job easier. All computer tools should be
non-magnetized.
Elector-Static Discharge (ESD) Tools - An antistatic wrist strap, ESD wrist strap,
or ground bracelet is an antistatic device used to safely ground a person working
on very sensitive electronic equipment, to prevent the buildup of static electricity
on their body, which can result in electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Example of Cleaning Tools
2. Compressed Air – is used to blow away dust and debris from different
computer parts without touching the components.
4. Parts Organizer – is used to hold screw, jumpers, fasteners and other small
parts and prevents them from getting mixed together.
When you clean your computer, it’s not just about dusting off your screen
and wiping down the keyboard. It’s important to clean the hard drive, updating
software, and getting rid of outdated programs. Cleaning your computer’s hardware
makes the entire system run more smoothly and keep it running longer. Regular
cleaning protects not only your investment, but the important data stored on it as
well. Every few days or so, give the screen a good wipe and empty the crumbs out of
the keyboard. Those simple tasks will reduce the risk of it breaking and overall help
the computer work better.
Diagnostic Tools - Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each
new generation of hardware and operating system update, but that does not mean
they are problem-free.
2. Then insert the black lead into the common jack in the multimeter. Also,
insert the red lead into the volt jack.
3. Try connecting the test leads to the circuit, starting with the black then the
red one.
4. Now read the measurement which is displayed.
Multimeter / multitester – is used to test the integrity of circuits and the quality
of electricity in computer components.
Computer diagnostics tools are pieces of software that give you the
knowledge you need to be able to potentially repair your own computer. Some of
these tools come built in to your operating system while others come from 3rd
party software developers. Either way, these tools help save you time and money.
Computer diagnostic tools can be used scan your computer’s hard drive, check
your ram for errors, check CPU temp and give you information about any other
devices connected to your computer. These tools are made to find problems
that may be disrupting your computer’s normal performance. Once a problem is
found, you can then plan your repair.
