holiday shopping is serious business and
there is nothing worse than
procrastinating and ending up fighting
off hordes of people at the mall over
the last Snuggie
and I know as geek types aren't the
easiest in the world to shop for so I
figured I would give you a sneak peek
and with the iFixit crew are giving
their fellow fixers this year in the
hopes that we can save you a few trips
to the mall and find some presents that
are a little more personal than socks
and underwear let's see what's under the
tree first step we have our newly
redesigned pro tech tool kit it comes
with all the most popular tools used in
most electronics repairs including our
new 54 bit driver kit in an awesomely
sturdy and handy carrying case it's
perfect for a beginner but it's so
compact and portable that a professional
would love it too and these are great if
you know somebody suffering from the
dreaded red ring of death on the Xbox
360 or its cousin the yellow light of
death on the ps3 then our red ring of
death and yellow light of death repair
kits make the perfect gift give your
friends the ability to bring those Dead
gaming consoles back to life or even
better do the repair for them this one
is a little out of the ordinary but
totally useful if you have a budding IT
professional automotive repair person or
locksmith from the family our lock picks
that is the gift that will literally
open doors for them on the other hand if
you've got a youngster who has a
penchant for prying their way into
places they don't belong then skip this
gift and move on down the list this one
is perfect for people who might already
have all the tools they need but may
need a little help with organization add
a little sophistication to their
workbench with this classic scaled-down
version of the Gerstner oak box it's the
perfect home for all those tiny
electronics repair tools and the
moisture absorbent quality of the wood
keeps them in a rust free environment
beautiful handy and super classy our big
driver kits make the perfect stocking
stuffers they have almost all the bits
you'll ever need in any electronics
repair and they are small enough to fit
in a pocket or a stash away in a small
drawer these guys can be a total
lifesaver our helping hands not only
look like an extra out of wall-e up
there
great when you need your hands-free
while taking a closer look at something
they're great for repair minded people

not be the most exciting present to open
up but if at any point in the year your
loved ones gadget finds its way into
water you will be remembered as a
lifesaver this unassuming bag is filled
with micro sieve pouches that slowly
draw out all the hidden moisture in your
device possibly saving it from a watery
grave sometimes the simplest gifts end
