get a free 3-month subscription to iracing.com available from participating retailers click the link in the video description for more details now I've been asked a ton of times to show what I think is sort of a an ultimate Tech bag what do I carry around with me what does slick carry around with him when working on computers or just generally doing Tech things so we're going to do that episode today and we're going to start with the big stuff I always carry a laptop these days with such small laptops available I use an Ultrabook just because it's really convenient and it doesn't take up much space in my bag which is otherwise very very full I'm one of those hopeless obsessives who actually carries a mouse pad around just because I can't stand using a mouse without one a tablet is great to have just for looking up something next to you or sitting and watching videos while you're otherwise working on something so do carry a tablet with a nice durable case on it in this case I use my iPad for that all right next pocket we've got a webcam never know when one of those is going to come in handy we've got an SSD never know when one of those is going to come in handy uh this I'll keep an OS on so that gives me a nice fast platform in order to boot up to and sort of do any Diagnostics if they have you know a slow virus who ridden hard drive that I otherwise basically can't use I always carry a spare Mouse to go with my spare mouse pad so in this case it's a Logitech g9x it's an older Mouse but I really really like it so business cards no self-respecting Tech should go anywhere without their business cards because you never know when there's going to be a PC in need copy of antivirus these days it's less necessary so that's more of a figurative thing um because you can download them anti-static bag somewhere safe to put stuff that you take out of a system sometimes customers will go oh well I don't really need that RAM anymore now that you put the new stuff in there you can have it want somewhere safe want to be able to take that home with you that's good stuff notepad little notepad for sticky notes SATA cables never go anywhere without those spare router sometimes when you're diagnosing a network problem the problem is the network so you can use your router either as a wireless access point and router or you can just use it as a switch if you need to wire up a few different computers spare cooling fan can be great for diagnosing cooling related issues so you can take this strap it next to something that's overheating and find out if that's what's actually causing the problem multimeter this is great for even just basic stuff like diagnosing power supplies is this is this extension cable even working all right USB hub especially when you're working on Modern computers if it's a laptop for example a lot of them don't have more than a couple USB ports and it's great to be able to plug in a keyboard mouse and a USB drive or and any of the other things that you might need wire strippers these I carry maybe not necessary for everyone but uh power adapter for my laptop as well zip ties use those all the time notepad bigger notepad this is great for doing things like overclocking let's face it it's not always the most convenient and fastest thing in the world to have two computers going and be documenting things in Excel and I personally find myself jotting things down with pen and paper all the time even these days isopropyl alcohol you don't have to carry around a whole bottle of it but I still find it's very useful for removing thermal compound which is also in here you can usually borrow toilet paper wherever you happen to be so I keep a 3/2 mm um extension cable just because I find that comes in handy for me every very so rarely once in a while USB cables um a to mini B so this is great for digital cameras and stuff like that uh a to micro b so this is great for cell phones charging up your phone whatever else and this one's attached to something A2 or did I say a to mini B that was a to B A to B so that's for printers and a to mini B so in this case it's pre-attached to my external optical drive which I also carry around with me again because if you're working on a laptop that doesn't have one and you happen to need to oh I actually need to use a CD then you'll be pulling your hair out if you don't have that a power bar is great to set up at your temporary workstation so you can make sure you have all this stuff plugged in while you work I recommend getting one that has a fairly long cord so that you can can run it from somewhere inconvenient if you need to alternately you can carry an extension cable as well electrician tape never know when that'll come in handy keyar for mechanical keyboards this is a slick special I don't actually carry one of these but he does uh Apple cable even if you don't own any Apple products you know how many times I've been asked if someone can borrow one of those it's just nice to have it on hand uh okay apparently we had more than I thought for those USB cables that was a USB a Tob uh little mini heat sink this is another one that's good for diagnosing weird um just weird issues is it heat related is it not um and then carrying around some double-sided thermal adhesive is another good one so you can actually Stick it to stuff uh this is my iFix it toolkit it contains a whole bunch of really cool stuff so number one is an anti-static wrist strap right there uh number two is a bunch of cool like tweezers and pry tools that I can use to take stuff apart or get stuff out of hard to reach places huge set of uh precision screwdrivers including some security bits and things that you can use for taking apart stuff that's they don't want you to take apart so that's uh that's really great and then last but not least some more pry tools and measuring tools and all that kind of good stuff um not that impressed with the build quality of the kit overall to be perfectly honest I I bought it a little while ago and I I was trying to remove a screw from my fs700 camera and now my one of my Philips heads looks like this cuz I I'm apparently super beast bent way too easily okay always carry a pen never know when that'll come in handy my Windows 7 pen to go with my Windows Vista backpack awesome uh side Cutters these are great for cutting off cable ties that you're wire managing with or cutting wires that are in your way for example I'll use these to cut off the ac97 uh header block here my evidence going off uh I'll use these to cut off the ac97 header block so that it's not ugly and the way and it'll just plug in the HD audio needle noose pliers holy crap you can use these for almost anything I used to carry vice grips with me but I've stopped doing that now that I don't water cool as much because what I'd do is I would use vice grips to tighten compression fittings with a cloth or um or some you know paper towel to keep them from getting damaged screwdriver multi-head screwdriver the bits that I use are slot um small Phillips so that's I think that's a number is that a zero I don't remember what this is but it's a it's a little little tiny one and then a big Phillips I think that's a number two can't remember for the life of me I'm sorry guys I'm not really good at tools but big Phillips small Phillips and medium Phillips and then I also carry a slot and that stand standard size Roberts Robertson whatever it is like I said not a tool guy um that's used for almost everything so those are the bits that I carry this is a Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver so it's great for working extremely quickly electric screwdrivers you they go as fast as they go um so especially when you're threading in a screw and you need that fine touch it's nice to be able to do this with your fingers it has a knurled portion here so you can do that and then wrench it tight when you get to the end it's also great for going quickly cuz you can move as fast as your fingers can move or you can wrench it like that so I love this screwdriver I've had a lot of people ask me about my screwdriver so there you go I've been using it for years now I've had that for about eight nine years all right always carry headphones in fact those are a headset those are the steel series flux inor pros and this is a weird one but I actually carry two USB sound cards because you never know when some weird issue like Premier was crashing the other day on Diesel's workstation problem ended up being the Onboard video or the onboard sound on the motherboard we were using this one didn't fix it but this one did so I have a steel series one and I have a Zonar u3 from ASUS which has been very handy um video adapters I'm missing my dv a VGA adapter that should be here but I also always carry mini DisplayPort to full-size DisplayPort DisplayPort to DVI and just in case I have an active powered dis mini DisplayPort to dual link DVI um that will only come up in very rare scenarios but you never know Molex TOA you never know when you're going to have to install a hard drive in someone's computer and they don't have any spare SATA connectors so I I carry a one to two one so that I can plug in my SSD plug in the new hard drive do whatever it is that I need to do a wall wart for your USB charging just in case you're sitting somewhere a while you need to charge up your phone while you're waiting and then I personally carry a bunch of fan adapters so some Splitters one to two so you can take only one available header and plug in two fans lots of computers won't have extra headers and maybe they got a cheapo OEM fan that doesn't come with an adapter and then I also carry a fan speed controller this is more for my personal use or it's not a controller this is just a Molex that splits out to 5V 7vt and 12vt so this will give you a good idea of the startup voltage of a fan if you're just curious and you want to know um ha this 32 mm to um RCA super handy use it all the time uh 3 and 1 12 mm to whatever that bigger one is and then the other way around the bigger one to 3 and 1/2 mm keep those together keep them with you at all times never know when you're going to need those full set of Allen Keys super handy again I carry one water cooling Barb with me cuz you never know when you're going to be one short but that's kind of a a hold over from when I used to water cool a lot more once again um external hard drive so USB drives aren't always enough and this one right here has a modular USB R 3 to SATA adapter that comes with it so I could plug this into some other drive and use it like this as a USB drive if I needed to this is one of seagate's goflex things awesome like that's a must have for any Tech tool kit love it um battery bank so USB charger this one charges out of a little thing that comes out of the bottom this isn't a particularly big one but these are so handy uh SD card reader and SD card never know when you'll need one of those USB drives Galore so I usually carry a USB drive in my back oh there it is USB drive in my back pocket that's my main one it's a 64 gig Patriot um Supersonic and then I always carry at least one or two backups so in this case we've got a Survivor as well as a flash or these are I think a 64 and a 16 gig or 32 or something like that more screwdrivers what's great about these screwdrivers versus the ones that come in the iFixit toolkit is they're fantastic for putting fans in radiators for example because they're just over uh 25 mm long so you can get right in there and they're you know you can torque them enough in fact you can use the vice grips that I used to carry around with me or even the needlenose pliers which now I can't find anymore to grab onto the grip here and tighten things even in really hard to reach places so I carry a full set of small slots as well as a full set of small Phillips and this is a special one this actually came with a lean Lee case so this is a hex on the top here this is the size of motherboard standoffs highly recommend carrying around one of these it allows you to tighten them in so that when you go to remove the motherboard it doesn't undo the standoff from the back plate rather than undoing the screw from the standoff which can be a real pain um yet another screwdriver you can never have enough screwdrivers uh USB wireless adapter always carry a USB wireless adapter just in case you're trying to diagnose a networking issue and their Wireless dieses for example that's my wife calling but it's okay we're almost done here extra Sano an Loops always always always extra doublea batteries in handy in yeah comes in handy all the time and what's great about anal Loops is you can leave them in your bag and they don't discharge that quickly micro SD to SD adapter so that you can use the car card reader where's our card reader ah yes our card reader uh in order to read them and then we've got aha uh car power to USB never know when that'll come in handy and finally we've got a couple of Ethernet cables so guys what I'd like you to do if you made it all the way through this video is leave your own suggestions for things that you feel like we missed in the comments under the video or in the Forum thread Linked In the description I'm going to show you a few more things that didn't make it into my bag but are things that could come in handy carrying around one of these little uh one of these little battery powered speakers can be useful um if you don't have a phone that you know has great speakers built into it like mine does kimchi bow noodle never know when you're going to be working for a long time this was Slick's suggestion he actually carries an extra kimchi bow noodle and a fork in his bag at all times so there you go USB number pad okay this is a useful one and I personally am oops I personally am more of a mouse and mouse pad de but slick carries the number pad as well as a 10 keyless keyboard around with him in his bag when he feels like it'll come in handy this is his limited edition one that I think he just wanted to show off cuz it's limited edition but this is not the actual one he carries a smart guy um but he does actually carry one I've seen him do it uh also in here we've got the cable for that as well as a measuring tape and this this one's me uh I actually carry a calculator in my bag at all times don't like the touchcreen interface and I like being able to see I carry this instead of the number pad so if I need to add something up or whatever else I use this so thank you guys for checking out our ultimate Tech tool bag don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other
