Basic toolkit for college boy going off to live in a dorm

cris · 2022-08-19T18:40:49+00:00

Any suggestion on a basic toolkit for a typical non-mechanical liberal artscollege boy going off to live in the dorms for four years away from home?I'd like to order one item (case + tools together as a single unit) off ofAmazon or whatever where it would contain the basic screwdrivers and hammerand pliers but maybe not wrenches (he has no car). Just stuff he'd need working on his computer graphics or around the dorm.

And don't forget JIS screws.

3M command hangers, no holes to fix.

I have one. They're indispensable for loosening the screws in the motor of a 1969 DT-1B Yamaha. One needs a torque wrench for that motor as well. I still have that bike. It hasn't moved an inch in forty years. The tires are flat, and I lost the key, but it's around here somewhere.
