Hi guys.

Went to local IT store (just 2 of them left in my city,due to IT equipment not selling at all for years,inflation,poor country etc) and saw how this is packed (pics).I opened and couldn't resist.

I mean it's not ifixit which could cost me around 80 euros.It's just basic set of tools as you can see.

Too bad the main screwdriver is not magnetic just like these 2 which have some weird edge I don't think I will ever use it on any screwes,who knows maybe they are for iPhone.

I paid around 17 euros for it.

So thoughts, do you like it?

Nice little set that.

 

I got this little set from Aldi a little while ago.  Think it was about 8 quid

I think that should be from Lidl, at least the brand Parkside is only being sold by Lidl where I live, Aldi also sells some similar sets but under different names.

I believe so too. I got a Parkside ESD tweezer set that has different size tweezers. They're pretty nice tbh for less than $10.

I went to the Made in France fair in Paris (MIF Expo) and stumbled upon this perfect coffee table. It is made from the finest oak and feels heavy AF. No veneer or MDF. The table was built in Paris. I have even spoke to the artisan. The price was eye-watering obviously

Please remember to support high quality journalism. It also included "YubiKey 5 NFC" with the yearly subscription, which is something I was already interested in so subscribing was an easy decision.

My parents got me the Titanic last week when the store opened up. (I still have a shelving crisis, so I have a lot of building ahead to do...sometime)

Never saw Home Alone so it'll stay on LEGOs shelves.

Yeah I have around 40 sets right now and a few knockoofs and I'm struggling for space.  I just bought some white melamine to make a nother shelving unit.  One of my spare bedrooms is just Lego and Blurays and Movie stuff.

Damn...I'm still always impressed with your LEGO collection (like when you posted them on the Show Off Your LEGOs thread). 

 

Say, is the lettering on your Saturn V rocket discolored? On mine, they are starting to become pale red and I was wondering if it's from the UV light from the Sun entering through the windows in my room or it's just poor paint.

Thanks.  believe that's only been one year of me buying and building Lego.  LOL  

I just looked and it looks fine but I'm always scared to move it because last time I did it broke apart.

Nice collection.  You know whose face that Michael Myers mask is?

Sometimes I miss my old BrickBoy walkman.  Tetris + tapes on the go?  Heaven for a 12 year old BITD.

I heard it was Shatner's from Star Trek but I never really delved into it.  

Reading about it now while having dinner.

Time to rid of my old chair

My rtx 2060 decided to take a trip to the great GPU graveyard, so a small group of close friends banded together and got me the ryzen 7 5700g to get me back up and running again. i installed it and windows 10 tried to lock me out of my system, but i got my way into it again and now im fully up and running again!

Keychron K4. I think this might just be my new favorite keyboard.

Gateron Blue btw, but sadly not the hot-swapable ones.

"Not detachable" is just a suggestion. If they're taped/glued on, just rip them off and have new ones at the ready!
