Office Tool Box
You probably have a tool box in your car, don't you? And the kitchen junk drawer? But what about your office? Do you have an office tool box? It is not as weird as it sounds, I have an office tool box. It is where I can find nearly anything I need for doing repairs and maintenance in the office.
So, what goes into an office tool box? That depends on your needs. I can tell you what I have in mine and maybe it will give you ideas for your own office tool box.
Non-magnetic screwdrivers: I have a non-magnetic ones because I mostly use them for taking my computer's case off and working on the computer. I have a few sizes of flat head and phillips, ranging from a standard size down to tiny jewelers size.
Paintbrushes: I keep a few small (under 1/2" to 1/4") soft bristled and firm bristled paint brushes in my kit as well, so that I can use them to sweep dust from corners and crumbs off keyboards. They are the miniature brooms of my desktop, so much so that I even keep one in my pencil cup on the desk.
Mini Computer Vacuum: This is a fairly obvious tool, I use it to vacuum things off the desk. I also use it to vacuum dust from the openings on my computer.
Can of Compressed Air: Keyboard cleaner. Also used to spray dust out of the computer when I open the case up for annual cleanings.
Hammer: As tempting as it is at times to take to the computer, the hammer is not for whacking the computer with. It is for when I need to hang a picture or pull out a nail or install a new shelf or any of a million other reasons a hammer is needed.
Electrical Tape: Because you never know when you might need it.
Pliers, wire clippers, needle nose pliers: Again, you sometimes need them and it is best not to have to go find them somewhere.
X-Acto Knife Set: You find all kinds of uses for one of these around the office.
Other things will find their way into and out of my office tool box, but right now that is mostly what I have in it. Just things that come in handy in the office and that I don't want to have to hunt for when I need them while I am working.
