This is a very nice set, basically the same as what use to maintain knives (I have the Wiha equivalents of the tools). The price is fair. I would've guessed $99.
These are some other things I use often:
- Set of fine tweezers (I can't grab those tiny screws with my big fingers)
- Set of dental picks (more for lifting parts out than anything else)
- plastic spudgers / lolipop sticks / etc
- 99.9% isopropyl alcohol (more powerful solvents/degreasers are useful too)
- solvent dispenser (just tap a cleaning cloth on it to moisten the cloth)
- Kimwipes (fancy tissues, these are awesome for many uses, I even use them to wipe off a hot soldering iron tip)
- the little gun cleaning cloths like Nick Shabazz uses (but sometimes I end up with ones that throw off huge amounts of lint)
- hard pointed cotton swabs (Puritan brand, various sizes)
- micro-brushes (I love these, very tiny 1-3mm brushes, great for precisely applying threadlocker or oil)
- hot air station or heat gun (to loosen loctite)
- Vibra-tite (non-curing threadlocker, I prefer it to Loctite which I only use for things like lock bar inserts)
- Frog Lube (mostly I use it to brighten up G10 but sometimes useful on internal steel parts that might rust)

awkGreat list of tools and cleaners. I appreciate you taking the time to list everything out. We wish we could of included Vibra-tite but the shipping costs and regulation killed that option a long time ago. Its such a great threadlocker and is suberb at preventing screws from backing out after sitting on the couch and flipping a knife 100-200 times while your wife watches TV.

awk+1 for VibraTite, way better than LocTite for knives. If it wasn’t a solvent and therefore crazy $$$ to ship we would have included that for $5 more.
