(Part 2) Best screw & bolt assortment sets according to redditors

Youtube is an incredible resource. Buy from Screwfix not B&Q, and don't forget about Amazon Prime for awkward stuff.

Don't go nuts and buy a 1500 piece tool box, instead get a small set of good quality tools, and buy as you go.

• A good drill (I love my Erbauer, however this is a bit cheaper)
  
  
• A set of bits and screwdriver heads
  
  
• A set of Rawlplugs and screws
  
  Congratulations, you can now put up shelves, hang mirrors, screw and unscrew anything, drill holes, put up curtains, blinds... etc etc etc
  
  Knowing how to bleed radiators is useful, as is replacing bathroom sealant. One thing that threw me was a 'Low Pressure Alarm' on my boiler. There's a little tap underneath that tops up the pressure by letting more water into the system.
  
  In general: Keep an eye on things and do preventative maintenance to fix things before it breaks or gets worse. Fixing a loose radiator in your own time at your own pace is much better than fixing it in a panic when it's finally fallen off the wall.

Repost, imgur ate the first image album.

The last 7 photos are from the first VR Crash Cart I built to help illustrate some of the assembly steps involved.

stand offs.

edit: And here... You can buy a whole shitton of them at once. https://www.amazon.com/240Pcs-Brass-Spacer-Standoff-Assortment/dp/B00MNG2T6W/ref=sr_1_4?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1482300640&sr=1-4

I believe the nut is a square m3 nut.
https://www.amazon.com/Square-Stainless-Steel-Pieces-pitch/dp/B01D1B79US
or
https://www.amazon.com/100pcs-Stainless-Steel-Square-Nuts/dp/B018JPZNS6
The screw is an m3 grub screw, 6mm or 8mm long. Not sure. I would recommend you measure your existing one.
https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-300pcs-Stainless-M3x6mm-Socket/dp/B01ARSGVY8
or maybe get an assortment
https://www.amazon.com/Raogoodcx-250pcs-Socket-Assortment-Plastic/dp/B01G30ZN3E

https://www.amazon.com/120pcs-Female-Spacer-Standoff-Assortment/dp/B01AQSZ23U/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1521320908&sr=8-14&keywords=m4+standoff

No specific one other than that they're plenty strong enough, and the main reason I recommended them is you shouldn't have to worry about size as the kit will have 100+ screws in various sizes IE:

https://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Metric-Machine-Assortment-M3X5mm/dp/B072K7WVPR

Edit: Just checked the metal sets, no difference in price, so it doesn't really matter unless you'd prefer plastic for any reason(Color,Conductivity, maybe damage to components if you wrenched on a metal one)

Also yeah 20mm is probably way too long but the set that goes up to it should work fine.

I have been using a Milwaukee 0490-22 for a few years and it is great for computers and printers, but it looks kind of pricy right now on Amazon. If you can find one for around $125, that would be a good deal. It has a battery life indicator on the screwdriver and an excellent charger. The battery has a twist lock, which is better than the plastic clips that require finger strength to squeeze and tend to break off. When working on laptops, you have to be careful when tightening screws because it can pop the thread nuts out, even with the torque limiter on 1. A 2.8V would be better for laptops.

It looks like there is a new design with similar features, the 2101-22.

As for getting to screws in tight places, I use a set of 6 inch bits that can reach through cables and around hardware. I magnetized the bits with a magnetizer so I can pick up and hold screws with them.

Good choice on the hand saw.

If you feel so inclined, you can make your own wooden Jorgensen hand screw clamps from scratch, e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Jorgensen-J-08-8-Inch-Screw-Clamp/dp/B00C1YXDTI/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_text_y. I have several that I made by sandwiching maple and walnut. They're very nice and have been real workhorses. Not cheap, though.

$77 is too much for a simple combination square IMHO, even if it is Starret.

Good choice on the sharpening stone & honing guide.

Home Depot and Lowe's sell different types of screw extraction kits. This one is kind of different than mine but same principle - you drill into the screw making room for the extractor. You insert the extractor and it gives you a "bite" on the screw which you can then use to extract the screw.

Keep in mind you don't actually want the drill bit to touch the screw threads as that might cause more damage. You simply drill enough to where the extractor can bite on the screw then you unscrew the screw.

They make screws with snap-off heads for this very purpose. You just screw down through the tread into the wood below, then snap them off. If you drill pilot holes and break them off just below the surface, you can fill in the holes with some caulk that matches the wood. I've used wood putty and crayons before.

Sqeeek No More

Those are brass M2 Female-Female spacers, I got them off of amazon.

Its just a 4-40 size screw, 7/8 inch long or less. I ordered an assortment from Amazon that has different lengths and, best of all, are hex-headed to make it easier to turn in the bridge. No more stripping the phillips heads.
