The convenience of a set of precision screwdrivers in one small pocket tool!Two double-ended bits; sizes 5/32", 1/8", 0PT, 1PT.Ideal for toy assembly, battery compartments, eye glasses, electronics and more.Magnetic bits have non-slip textured surface so they attract and hold small screws.Soft, comfortable, bi-material grip.

Stanley has a similar design, it's not too bad, but the tool OP used is not really a screw driver, 99% of the time.
It's possible to use a full yoke and throttle setup in VR as well. So you may want to look into this, it really is a completely surreal experience and very enjoyable.
The only downside that you may have is that as far as I'm aware, the Vive (or Oculus) can't render any setups that you may use.. yet. So you're pretty much flying "blind" in terms of the controls.
> Thinking of using TVs, would this be plausible?
Yes but not recommended. The drawbacks are the size, often not very thin bezels, weight & the overall panel quality & resolution is not high enough for when you're sitting that close to your flight sim.
TVs are mostly designed to be around ~10 feet away from you at least, which means that the pixels can be pretty large. A Full HD (1080p) TV at 50" doesn't look that bad when you're far enough away from it. The pixels are pretty huge tho, compared to a normal PC monitor that generally is around 21-24" for 1080p.
TVs also generally don't have other display ports than HDMI, which means you have to buy adapters. Not a big issue, but not that great.

Likely that TechQuickie got even more video's that you can have a look at to get answers. It's a great YouTube channel for easy, quickly explained questions about PC tech.

Guides

Now before you have a look at all these guides. The best guide in most cases will always be your MANUAL. Some manuals are garbage, but most of them are more than good enough to be able to help figure out most problems.
This is my personal favorite because it goes in depth, but still keeps the video relatively short.
It also got great camera work so you are able to follow all the steps very well.
I decided to skip the start of the video. The reason being that the video is posted on 17th of May 2013, he gives the rationale of his selected parts at the start. This is a very long time ago, so the parts are very old, so no need to hear this out. But building a PC is still pretty much the same. No drastic changes.
There are a lot of different build guides on the internet, but I really like this one. It's easy to follow.
Very simple and easy to follow guide again.
Again not too complicated. But be aware, every motherboard is different. If unsure, check the manual!
You have to download "media creation tool" which is located at the bottom of the page (blue button). Run that program with a 4GB+ USB flash drive plugged into a PC. Then follow the simple steps and the program will make the USB drive bootable. After that all you have to do is build the PC and boot from that USB drive to install Windows.
This video is another older video, but it works pretty much the same in Win 8/10.
This video explains it very well, as well as their recommendations. For security I advise to only get Avira (if you don't mind to get an add every day; if you do mind - just use Microsoft Defender) & Malwarebytes. If you want to pay for an anti-virus; Webroot! Light weight; very high detection rate.
Hope you like it and If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
After a recent (semi-) failure of my normal EDC, I decided to upgrade my plier-ing options. Found this little number on AmazonKnipex Miniature Pliers with some great reviews and went for it.
It is quite a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but it seems very sturdy. At its widest it can grip a normal plastic bottle lid, which is quite the range to be honest for such a small tool.
It fits perfectly in my Maxpedition Micro case.
I also threw in a Stanley Pen Screwdriver to the basket, cause why not.
That's sounds great for a two-legger (forgive me if I assume too much).
I'm pretty serious about my socket set though. I carry [this](Craftsman 58 PC Universal MAX AXESS Mechanics Tool Set (Inch/Metric) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4QI7XE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_WKytybJPF57EE) strapped to the back of my power chair.
And I carry these as well. Along with a Leatherman and one of [these](Stanley 66-344 4-in-1 Pocket Screwdriver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014KMDZ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3PytybZ26WCBS)
Edit; unfortunately I don't reddit hard enough to know how to fix those links. Sorry.
Small messenger bag. Really all I need is my laptop, a few pens, my trusty USB SSD drive with everything on it, and a screwdriver. The times I need more tools, I have a toolbag I can take, but that's rare.
This bad boy is my most used tool
pay attention in class!

It's a pocket screwdriver that would be perfect for leaving in a drawer in the kitchen or in the glove box of the car :)
Thanks for the contest!
EDIT Bah! Well, it use to be an add on item, I guess it's not anymore :/
So how about this cool mini jelly bean storage bin that comes with jelly beans! It just looks awesome!

First off, many of these things are intentionally cheap, because I do tend to break and/or lose things, so... Here goes.
All have Amazon links, because that was what was easiest.

Stanley 4 in 1
I too work in IT and keep this in my work bag at all times, also have a second one for home.
Comes in handy when you need it, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything outside of electronics.

It's a set but I've got one of these and I love it. It has all of the bits you would ever need.
Other than that, I've found these:
Maybe a Stanley 4-in-1 would work for you.
Small multi tip screwdriver for electronics. It's the size of a pen. I use it all the time. Victorinox knife for cutting and scraping.

I've been EDC'ing THIS for about 10 years. Don't think I could give it up even for the metal body.
Looks sweet though.
dattwenty.com recommends THIS screwdriver which is a complete piece of SHIT. not even worth the plastic its cast from.
Instead, This Husky screwdriver set is relatively cheap and very good quality. I used them at work and at home and they're terrific. Comes in philips/flathead or torx. Apparently they just changed the design of them too, I don't have any firsthand experience with the new handle design. Also, pro tip: they are much cheaper at Home Depot

Screwdriver or double-sided tape I find randomly useful. Also, erasable pens.
My favorite dinosaur is the triceratops.
pocket screwdriver
This would be extremely useful because it would save me space in my EDC bag.
EDC- Penlight, Pocket Screwdriver, 6" Scale Rule, Folding Utility Knife, Gerber Artifact, Sharpie, Pen, Lighter.
LX- 2@ 8" Crescent Wrench w/ safety lanyard, gloves, diagonal cutters, sharpies/paint pens, wire stripper, 5-n-1 screwdriver, non-contact voltage tester. In my gig bag, I have a meter, allen wrench set, c-7's, among other tools I don't really need to lug around on the subway, but then that 1% of the time they come in handy and I accept hauling them around the other 99% of the time.
CARP- Dewalt 12v Impact Driver/Drill set, 7/16"-1/2"-9/16" deep sockets each on an adapter for for use in the impact driver. Same sizes in speed wrench.
Just picked up one of these thumb drive ratchets it has been super useful for working on unistrut and holding bolts when putting together flats or platforms.
Edit: I forgot. Always have my chalk bag handy.
