A screwdriver with a reversible “star” and “slot” shaft.
Straightforward. The shaft is difficult to come out, making this sturdy and trustworthy.

This is a fantastic item.
I got one black and one gold. The black looks great. The gold is okay-looking.
Very solid. Almost metal. Good grip.
The cap stays on tightly.
The MicroSD card goes in the “nose” of the reader, and is easy to insert/remove.
It’s easy to pull out of a computer, even though it is fairly small.

Though it can do other stuff, I use this to edit ISO images meant to be burned to a CD or DVD, to make them appropriate for copying to, and booting from, a USB stick.
Phenomenal. I wish I knew about this a long time ago. I’ve ignored many Linux distributions because of the very issue this tool solves.

A defragmentation tool for individual files.
Note that defragmentation is irrelevant with an SSD, and even with a HDD, Windows will auto-defragment if you leave it alone for a bit. For windows 8 and Windows 10, my administrative settings are so aggressive that when I’m inactive for five minutes it pokes around to see what it can defragment.
