My IT Tool Box

Every Tech has their own Tool Box. I doesn't matter if you're a Mechanic wore a Computer Tech, you have one and it's special to you. You've built it up peace by peace, tool by tool and only you know just what all of it's for. Some tools are used once in a blue moon while others are used so often you have to replace them over and over again.

I'm posting this as a sort of brief look into what I call my Tool Box.

Two USB Flash Drives with Windows 7 x86/x64 Universal Images on them, one with Windows 8 x64, one with windows 8.1.1 x64 , two with windows 10.1 x86/x64. All of them include copies of the most common software I install on client computers so I don't have to download programs over and over again such as Adobe Reader DC.

To go with the OS Flash Drives listed above I also have four other drives that pack tools such as the Kaspersky Rescue Disk, Ophcrack, Memtest and more long with more software geared to diagnosing and cleaning up systems. On all of the drives I include a set of Batch files that I can run to automatically deploy most of the software and tools I'll need for a given task. One such batch file is used to deploy my QuickPack Tools. 

My Quick Pack is a catch all Tool Package meant to simplify my job. Here's a list of the software in my Quick Pack. AdwCleaner, JRT(JunkwareRemovelTool), ComboFix, SC-Cleaner(ShortCut Cleaner), MalwareBytes-Anti Rootkit, MS-FixIt Portable, Autoruns, Repair Windows, SpyBot Portable, tdsskiller, GMER-AntiRootkit, Revo Uninstaller, and CCleaner. Not all tools are needed every time, but having them all deployed in a single click of a batch file, or via a single command in command prompt saves time every time.

Some of the programs listed above are free, but others do have paid licenses for Commercial Use. Most if not all can be found at BleepingComputer.com

I hope this has helped you in some way. My tools are always changing to fit the needs of my job and take a good bit of effort to keep up to date, but it's worth it for sure.
