welcome to another unboxing and first look on minus Tech tips and in this one
0:11
I'm going to try and throw something up and catch it behind my
0:14
back ow oh yes okay goes to show you
0:19
nerds can be athletic too at any rate
0:22
this unboxing is something that I had to buy for myself cuz I had to take apart
0:25
an SSD and some other random stuff this
0:28
is the iix pro tool kit and unlike
0:32
buying the one screwdriver that I actually needed individually on eBay
0:36
which was going to cost me like 15 bucks with shipping this one cost me here we
0:42
go 75 bucks with shipping and includes a bunch of different stuff that's uh
0:47
that's very very handy so the dangers of disposable Furniture I think this is
0:52
basically just their e blast say goodbye to leave yeah this is isett who cares uh
0:56
okay so use this coupon code for $5 off your next okay well I guess someone gets
1:00
my coupon code although this looks pretty generic so I think uh everyone
1:04
gets a coupon code um
1:08
yay so this is the iix it prot te tool
1:11
kit which includes sort of weird and hardto find tools and screwdrivers and
1:17
stuff like that for techs who want to be
1:20
able to do things so you've got some I
1:24
don't know I didn't even look at everything it includes so little plastic
1:27
uh you know app Apple removal junk for
1:31
taking apart things like iPhones and iPads and pry bars and things like that
1:37
as well as what appears to be tweezers
1:41
for grabbing stuff wouldn't have minded seeing one of
1:45
those pickle Grabbers in here because those are freaking awesome here's another pair of uh of
1:50
tweezers okay presumably also for grabbing stuff another pair of tweezers
1:55
presumably also for grabbing stuff that's around something
1:59
grab stuff fuss it stuff get it out okay
2:03
flat tweezers for grabbing stuff that's harder to grab with a
2:08
point okay these are all handy things uh
2:12
what's in here I like I said I really didn't look that closely oo suction cup
2:16
for like taking things apart anti-static
2:20
wrist strap okay so you can actually put that
2:23
either around your wrist or your ankle see that makes contact with your skin
2:27
and then uh this goes to something that's presumably attached to a ground
2:32
so you'd either you stick a wire into like an outlet and then no okay okay
2:36
okay don't just stick a wire into an outlet okay the ground pin of an outlet
2:41
and you can put that on it or you could even just put it to something large in metal like the back of a power supply
2:46
for example or even a case would be fine and then you are grounded all the
2:50
time by your parents presumably because I can't think of who else would
2:55
ground you okay moving right along we've got more plastic little bits and pieces
3:00
so we got a point on that end and some kind of hook or something on that end
3:03
okay cool and we have uh two
3:08
spatulas there we are okay some more spatulas and more of
3:13
like a flat sort of feather shaped guy but made of metal a metal feather that's
3:18
what we'll call it okay and then some more spatulas one sharp one dull and oo
3:24
a measurer okay oh look at that that one
3:28
goes in your pocket so you can put that right in your pocket right there and
3:32
it'll stay right there for you also includes if you can't fix it you don't
3:36
own it okay that's interesting uh repair is better than Recycling and saves the
3:40
plant and all this good stuff this looks like unit conversions very very cool so
3:44
inches to I don't know maybe it isn't unit conversions doesn't matter anymore
3:48
I'm putting it away all right finally the part that I actually needed which
3:53
wasn't any of that stuff which is the iFixit 54-- bit driver kit which has a
3:58
bunch of oh ow that hurt jammed my uh
4:02
jammed my thumb there startled me a little bit which has a bunch of stuff
4:07
that can be usedful so I hope it has a triwing because I really need to fix my
4:11
DS as well but here they're all labeled so you've got all kinds of different
4:15
really really tiny Phillips and stuff like that okay 3.5 4.0 slots the uh
4:24
seriously I don't I don't know if I can say that word without this becoming an
4:27
offensive unboxing okay tiny tiny little
4:31
size one slot some ah here we go torqus
4:35
so you never know when you're going to run into ah security torqus with the
4:39
hole in the middle so those are for some of those difficult to remove things some
4:43
more security torqus there's that triwing so there's just three prongs on
4:47
it otherwise it looks kind of like a Philips head ooh pentalobe there we go
4:52
that's the one I need to take apart that SSD two five and six size pentalobe so
4:55
that's a star shape all right then we've got what's that that looks like what is
5:00
that like Allen key or something except it goes on a screw I don't know what that is I don't need that one I already
5:04
found everything I need oo more security bits oh wait no those are just sockets
5:08
never mind not security bits okay can you tell that I bought this without
5:12
knowing what it was looks like an extension for the screwdriver itself and
5:16
then o That's nice look at that that is that's a balling Precision screwdriver
5:20
so there's the rotating top just like all Precision screwdrivers rubber here
5:24
so that you can actually get some grip on it and torque things a little bit and
5:28
then you've got a spot to put the bits right about here so if you wanted to say
5:32
for example put this bit in which looks
5:36
pretty similar on both ends actually and then you could I don't know do something
5:39
with that it's magnetic which all good Precision screwdrivers or really any
5:43
screwdriver should be and then finally oh no way it has one of these cool so
5:48
this is a flexible dob so you can actually get around things like this and
5:53
you can screw something in from an angle so you can see even though this is
5:56
turned I can still see that I can still turn the screw
6:00
very very very cool stuff right there so that is pretty much it that is the
6:05
iFixit prot te screwdriver and other
6:09
more random different tools kit thank you for checking out this unboxing
