73 Reasons why you dont need money to start a Tech repair business!

Well instead of giving you reasons I decided to give you a stacked PC repair toolkit!

This post was triggered by a Wave that @DoorToDoorGeek started in preparation for his interview over at http://www.podnutz.com/pnd213. The list then began to grew as the Podnutz community started adding their favorite utility, I've added a few of my own and in the end we have the following list.I will try to update this list as time goes on, sort of like a central place to refer back too when you are looking for a tool to get the job done. If you would like a tool added to this list just leave a comment and it will get added.
