Hello all,
It's been a few days since I've been on. The holidays wore me out and I've been busy processing motherboards.
I bought a couple tools that arrived this week and I thought I would share.
The first one is a wire stripper. I actually seen this stripper in a YouTube video of a fellow member and thought I would give it a try. So far, it has worked flawlessly. It has stripped even the smallest of wires that I've tried. The thing I like best abou it is it uses standard utility blades as opposed to specialty blades found in some other strippers.
The other tool that arrived was something called a rework station. Basically it's an adjustable temp soldering iron with several tips and an adjustable heat gun with extra tips as well. I used a $25 Amazon gift card I got for Christmas and spent another $30 I think on it. So far, it's held up better than I thought.
