Thought I’d start a thread on tools and equipment.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been doing repairs for a while - what are you using?

Here’s what I’m currently working with:

• Precision screwdriver set
• Soldering iron + basic solder
• Hot air rework station
• Isopropyl alcohol (for cleaning)
• Tweezers & pry tools
• Heat-resistant mat
• Multimeter

Nothing crazy, just building it up as I go.

Always looking to improve the setup, so interested to hear what others are using - especially anything that’s made a big difference to your workflow.

What’s in your toolkit?

What’s one tool you couldn’t work without?
