Essential Tools that you will need for creating electronics projects!
video description
Meter: Uni-Ts are badly designed from all the teardowns I've seen. From what I've heard, Anengs are respectable enough, although I trust my good old Fluke
Cheap calipers usually don't use absolute encoders and thus are suspectble to skipping, their jaws are also usually not precisely ground within tolerance. I can confirm that my friend's pair of IGaging calipers (40 on Amazon) are more or less on par with my Mitutoyos that retail for about 4x price (doesn't feel as smooth though)
Box cutters: I prefer the trapzoidal utility knives, it's easier to find high quality blades for those
Wire cutters: A Hakko micro cutter costs the same delivered
Drill bits: Just go to your local industral supply store or hardware store, it's ironically cheaper
Additionally, a center punch is nice if you're drilling plastic or metal, drill-point countersinks also work
Wire brush for the files, they get gunked up over time
I'd take a secured mini-vice over a bunch of clamps
Assortment of heat shrink is always nice
Jet lighter for heat shrink
Anti-static wristband
Alligator cables
Heat sink clamps
A sharpie
Electrical and krypton tape

I made a lab bench power supply a few months ago and it's not quite what I expected. Its range is 1. 2dv-28. 7dv but it wants to jump from around 4dv to 18dv and from there to 28dv. I've been trying to save money so I can go to the shop and buy a good one but that hasn't happened yet so for now I'm stuck with this one. Anyone who wants to throw some pointers my direction please feel free as I am new and still learning. Thanks

A computer and Laser jet printer, a hot film laminator just incase you ever decide to go the route or path of diy pcbs without necessarily dwelling on UV options or ordering ready made options. Last but by no means the least of instruments that I expected to have seen in the list is an R. F. spectrum analyser and or R. F network analyzer. Having said all that, I still must confess to being envious of your collection to be honest, lol

3: 30 Seriously? Cost a lot less. I wouldn't recommend a 1000 EUR one to a newbie. For a fact: I don't even own a 1000 EUR oscilloscope. There are a ton of good oscilloscope for like 300 EUR.

Do you do consulting? I have a pcb design I want reviewed by someone very competent before I do a production run. Not very complicated but I want to get it right. Any suggestions appreciated.

I have a question please explain
Question - Why don't ceiling fans or in general any ac motor change their rotational direction, even though current direction varies in the AC circuit?

Solder wick or one of those sucky thingys really help for removing components from a pcb, especially with a cheap soldering iron and a flux pen helps too

Is any way to limit solar panel max voltage(48Voc) to inverter supported (45Voc) by making any type of circuit to prevent damage of my solar inverter?

You absolutely do not need an oscilloscope. This video is titled 'essential tools', not 'luxury tools' or 'all the tools i have'.

HA you forgot spectrum analyzer - but this is just to very advanced and crazy guy like me, also forgot all programmers for chips
