Super cool gadget

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of my favorite items in my laptop bag. I carry my office with me everywhere I go, which means I have a mess of different cables. This has been the best utility item I have purchased in a long time. Not only does it organize my cables but it turns them into a solid item that I can move around. Not only do they work well but they look cool doing it.

Average cable straps
on March 1, 2016
Posted by: DanB
from Yakima
Verified Purchase:Yes
These do exactly what they are supposed to do...hold cables together. While they are a higher quality velcro tie, my big complaint is that they have no way to loop around a single cord to become semi-permanently attached. This would make them useful for things like laptop cords or cords that are used for regular travel. On the plus side, for use in the home, these are a great buy.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this as a quick way to offload photos from my phone to my computer. The dual sided USB port is awesome for doing just that. It will plug into my phone and then just as quickly plug into my computer. I even happier with the nice brushed aluminum finish, as this is usually quite visible.

Excellent storage for tablets

Posted by: DanB

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a 256 GB flash drive. Need I say more? PNY has always been a reliable source of memory for me and this USB flash drive is no different. I was happy to see the larger size come to a USB format which is great for expanding the storage of my Surface or carrying large multi media projects back and forth to the studio. The only reason I knocked it down was for aesthetics. There are some very nice , really slim USB drives on the market right now and this is not one of them. Other than the way it looks it is a great drive.

Overall Good Product
on February 17, 2016
Posted by: DanB
from Yakima
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this set to work on my laptop while I was on the road. It was a little more than what I needed, but also the only thing available. As far as PC tool kits go, this has everything I needed. It even included a box of case screws. Overall the construction of all the components was solid and worked as expected. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add different sized screws. I was hoping this would have the flat screws for a 2.5 inch laptop hdd caddy, but it only came with the full size case screws.

Good but Could be Better
on October 14, 2015
Posted by: DanB
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have always enjoyed the sound and feel of a mechanical keyboard. This keyboard delivers quite well. The keys are sturdy and have excellent travel. The keyboard itself is packaged together in a nice size and weight.
I like the idea of the color changing back lighting for customization. However, I only have two complaints. The first is that the software to change the lighting is a little difficult to use with difficult to understand instructions. The second is that you can only use the macro keys in game mode which actually disables the windows key. While this is not a deal breaker it is a minor frustration.

Excellent Idea Needs Development
on October 14, 2015
Posted by: DanB
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this monitor with the idea of being able to have two devices connected and displayed simultaneously. The packaging, and even the display mode on the shelf would lead one to believe that this could be done. Unfortunately it cannot. Other than that, I think this is an excellent monitor. I absolutely love the screen real estate, especially when working in programs like Photoshop and Lightroom. I love being able to have multiple "full screen" applications open without having to shrink them down.

Depending on the virus. If the virus is smart it will disable portions of the software while you are installing it. You will want to remove the virus first and then install the software.

Specific tools

How do I know what specific tools this set comes with? I need a torx 6, phillips #00 and the pentalobe screw for an iphone 6. Does your set have these three?
No this set does not. It will have a small phillips, and the torx, it will not however come with the pentalobe. This set is really designed for desktop pc's rather than any type of smart phone or even many laptops.
