A toolkit I put together recently to be prepared ahead of time for any IT work I might want to pick up. My first 10 years out of college I worked IT for a few different companies. These days, compared to the normal contract work I do, IT usually doesn't pay enough to be worth while, but sometimes IT work with reasonable pay will be offered, and I decided it was worth it to assemble what I would need for those situations.

My apologies for the audio quality while I'm handling the camera.

No conflicts of interest to declare - I purchased all items shown. No sponsors, no kickback links.

Prices fluctuate, but all in all the kit came up to ~$250.
