[sdiy] electronics first aid kit

[Toby Paddock]

Hope this doesn't wander too far off topic, 
but what do people think would be good 
to have in an electronics first aid kit? 

Something to have at a small live show to fix 
a cable or otherwise help somebody out.

Some stuff that's come in handy:
AA batteries
small screwdriver set
duct tape wrapped on a sharpie
rca female to 1/4 male adapter
extension cord and plugstrip

I'd like to expand and add a soldering 
iron. Are those gas micro torch with a 
solder tip things any good?

And some pre tinned coax pieces and various
plugs/jacks to make adapters as needed.

Maybe some fuses. DMM or test light. Shrink tube.

Or is that just too geeky?

Later,
Toby Paddock

PS- And some blatant self promotion...
