When a toy breaks, especially an RC car, this is my one-stop triage kit.<\/p>\n<p>It comes in a hard plastic shell with magnetic corners, and the lid is designed with this raised grid inside that works for grouping together screws and washers as you go \u2014 which just that right there shows you the kind of attention that went onto this kit.<\/p>\n<p>Inside you\u2019ll find a great set of tools for separating the layers of delicate electronics like smartphones or tablets. If you\u2019re lucky, you\u2019ll never have to use it for that, but I\u2019ve done an iPod Touch screen repair with these same tools.<\/p>\n<p>You also get a pair of precision tweezers and a metal jimmy tool that\u2019s good for gently prying things apart without cutting yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Mostly though, I keep coming back to this kit for the screwdriver. This is like the Maserati of precision screwdrivers. It\u2019s a magnetized metal handle that comes with 16 bits that run from Philips and flat, to exotic pentalobes and security bits.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a great price for what it is and you\u2019ll feel like a pro every time you use it. If you\u2019ve suffered through using these cheap jewelers screwdrivers that chew up your fingers, then you\u2019ve earned this upgrade.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fix your devices<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[41,2337],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29909"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29909"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29909\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29911,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29909\/revisions\/29911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
