Corsair Launches PC DIY Precision Toolkit

[trsttte]

If so one would get a 10 € toolset in the diy market instead of such branded ones costing 30€. I guess that people want to have the "smell" of professionality those toolsets send out. A well known marque? That must be a great technician. Otherwise he would buy a cheap random set.

Says the person buying expensive wera sets

You really have no glue how a bigger FDM 3D Printer works. You also have no knowledge about how a PSU works. How to get DC out of AC and so on. You always have a 110V/240V heated bed when the current needed to heat gets higher. Just one little thought How big cables have to be to transport 36A at 24V. That is by power equal to 3,6A at 240V. And as 240V heating beds are not used anyway they are manufactored and sold: https://e3d-online.com/products/high-temperature-heated-beds. I own an Anycubic Predator FDM Printer. It has a round bed (Delta) of 370mm in diameterwith a height of around 400+ mm. You will never be able to heat it up to 80°C when using 24V or (also possible) 12V.

No, you don't always have line loaded heated beds, that's one reason why older printers were crazy fire hazards, i didn't mention 24V at random, i googled that printer model and checked, you should do the same. A regular heated bed is also not +850W (did you use that rating to match the psu? because if you're using an ac heated bed the psu rating doesn't matter, you know that right?), they're more commonly around 250W, depending on size, unless you're using something silly like the 200ºC pads you linked (for that printer they use quite more power but still 500W, not 850)

Here's the replacement part if you burn yours too: https://www.anycubic.com/products/ultrabase-hotbed-platform-380x380mm-for-predator

Anyway, this is pretty far from the topic anyway so whatever, have fun

Not sure what you are all mumbling about the HV isolated ones... you would need an ESD ones instead. I have SYSTEM 6 ESD 284 for PC stuff.

Other than that... Vera/Wiha ain't the old Vera/Wiha it used to be. I have some screwdrivers that are nearly 15years old and abused on daily basis, T6 torx or T5 ones... New the newer series doesn't last a year... they simply crack... same goes for bits.

So go figure...

The Corsair toolkit is only $5 less than the iFixit kit, yet the iFixit set has a lifetime warranty.
I would rather spend the extra $5 for the warranty, also iFixit tools are known to be of good quality.

Have you ever tried to "cash in" on a lifetime warranty? There are so many legal clauses and ways for companies not having to honour lifetime warranties that they largely mean squat.
This is not directed at iFixit, just lifetime warranties in general.

Project Farm just tested a bunch of bit drivers and you seem to be spot on.

I forgot, I have one ancient Lindström screwdriver, most probably came with old real Ericsson tools, those are often forgotten. I cannot even understand why. As a local you may know better what's what with those.

Never heard of them. Grew up near where Bahco was founded, but that stuff is long gone and is now made in xina or Spain.

And just to be clear, I never said this wast he greatest screwdriver bit set ever made, but it is decent for the money and the bits work really well for PC parts, so some thought have gone into it.

Ah just looking at their site, they are all sold out.

Yeah, somewhere along the line, the big shareholders decided they loved money more than owning a piece of a famous company...

I was simply pointing out the fact that the iFixit kit has a better warranty, because you compared the Corsair kit without mentioning the iFixit kit has a better warranty.
I've never had to use a warranty on an iFixit product, although bits do wear out especially if you're going to be spending money on toolsets you're probably going to use them often.
