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.

Special thanks to the Podnutz community for their efforts in putting this list together.
. To my surprise it really was a GodMode with lots of undocumented features.
