| If you are a red boxxing, pHrAcK wanna-B, this is NOT the place for you... This area is dedicated to hardware hacks that appreciate the finer points of creating/modifying hardware systems; for people who KNOW and wish to learn... not for war dial'n, cell phone hack'n kids! >8v/ |

| Hack Tool | Description |
|---|---|
 The Leatherman "Super Tool" | THE ultimate pocket tool for Hacks & Geeks... A MUST! I have gone through several swiss army knives--don't bother! This thing has locking blades, "between size" phillips head, two flat heads, wire cutters, an awl, a big file, a SHARP blade, a serrated blade, Needle Nose Pliers, a bone saw, can opener, and more! An Absolute MUST for any serious hardware geek or tech! I use mine every day! |
 The Dremel Moto-Tool | VERY Handy "Cut, Bore, Grind, Strip, Drill ANYTHING" (at 30,000 RPM) tool! Do metal work on your computer case, cut off a master lock like BUTTER, drill your won P.C. project board holes, heck--do your own DENTAL work! hehe... Best tool investment I've made (under my Leatherman!) Here's a picture of me hack-n on my PSI-WEB server (the same server that all these apges run on). |
