there is no middlemen, and we don’t do expensive glossy magazine advertising! )
Basic Tools Required
A few basic tools are required to build this kit.
1.
Soldering iron – adjustable temperature recommended, but not necessary. Your soldering iron must have a sharp
conical tip. I do not recommend a “flat-head, screwdriver-type” soldering iron. DO NOT USE A SOLDERING GUN. They
are usually rated at 100Watts and are overkill for this project.
2.
Mini Pliers Cutter – to cut component leads, wires, strip insulation off wires (if you don’t have a wire-stripper tool).
3.
Mini Long Nose Pliers – to bend component leads, use as a heatsink, hold components, tighten bolts.
4.
Manual Solder sucker pump or desoldering gun– sucks up solder when you made a mistake soldering components on
the PCB. Pictured below is a Hakko model.
