Hey everyone! Wanted to keep this thread going. Any 2018 updates? Would be interested in seeing what the average small-business remote technician carries around with them in their backpack and toolboxes. Also, is it possible with YUMI to create a bootable flash drive with Hiren's, UBCD, Trinity Rescue and Kaspersky's rescue disk? I have a separate flash drive (albeit not large) for every disk/utility/program, minus portable apps/drivers/etc. Looking to downsize. What are you all carrying nowadays!? Don't be shy! I have an extremely large list of things I own so it will take some time to go through it all. I'm in the process of reorganizing and will make/post the list when finished.

Wow I’m late to the party.  I think the only things missing from that bag are really just a HDMI, Display port and a USB A to USB A cable.

It’d be cool to see an updated version of this video though.

My toolkit for my PC is pretty limited.

 

My trusty long Thermalright Philips screwdriver.

A pair of side cutters for trimming wire

Tape to keep my splices from arcing
