Do you ask your painter to fix your car or ask your mechanic to landscape your garden?

This may seem like a silly question but there are two key things critical to deciding how you request assistance; The right skills and the right tools. 

When you take your car to your mechanic you don't give him a socket set, a couple of screwdrivers and a wrench. You expect that he has the tools needed to do the job required. This is the same in IT. Every IT Technician should have the right tools to do the job. Unfortunately in this very diverse industry that can mean a lot of tools and you probably know them or use them depending on the job at hand but where do you keep them? I have a very long list of solutions to various issues and the appropriate tools to use kept in my head. Unfortunately that is not always the best place and when a problem arises valuable time can be lost finding and downloading those tools.

That is where the GE Geek Tech Toolkit is your new best friend. This great utility is a portable collection of over 300 freeware tech related programs. Download this to a USB key and you will have all the tools you need at your fingertips when you need them. It includes an update utility to keep them all up to date and a taskbar menu to find the right tool at the right time. This is the most powerful and complete toolkit of tech related utilities I have seen and it contains nearly all of my personal favourites. I will definitely be keeping a copy close at hand and so should every IT Technician. The initial download is nearly 600MB but after extracting and updating I have nearly 3GB of tools available. Download it today from the GE Geek website.

In addition to this great toolkit the GE Geek website is a treasure trove of links to invaluable resources and documentation so make sure you bookmark it for future reference.
