I realise some people might think this odd, but I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s trip to Jaycar. www.jaycar.co.nz

This trip is to update my Repair Cafe tool kit, but I bet I find something else when I’m there.

@billbennett.bsky.social Too much to list in full but includes screwdrivers in all sizes, pliers, tweezers, compressed air, WD-40, tiny file, soldering equipment, multimeter, insulating tape, rubbing alcohol. I need to get a more comprehensive socket set and a good current detector, maybe a better multimeter.

@billbennett.bsky.social Yes. Good idea… we don’t tend to fix phones or laptops at our Repair Cafe, but I’ve noticed those domestic appliances are increasingly getting like that.

@billbennett.bsky.social That was before Dickies became the “techsperts” which was the stupidest branding thing I can ever remember.

@billbennett.bsky.social What kind of spudger do you use. I saw a kit containing one in Jaycar this morning and there are dozens to choose from on Aliexpress, I think I want to avoid metal ones… any tips?
