The field of computer hardware servicing is very vast but interesting. There are various tools that can help us in doing our tasks effectively and efficiently under this domain. Computer hardware servicing tools are divided into four main groups, namely: hand tools, cleaning tools, diagnostic tools, and the electrostatic discharge (ESD) tools.
