Tools & Techniques

General Tools

​Some of the general tools I use the most, a lot of them are from my GPO days, I always liked Lindstrom stuff too (the white handled ones)

​Trusty old Dremel (Note: Other drills are available :) )

​I have a full set of Wera drivers but most of the 'vintage' stuff I work on doesn't need any kind of specialised bits, but worth having just in case.

I use a few 'standards' documents for reference when working on PCB's, etc. Not all of it is relevant but it is very useful seeing how professional firms approach it.

Quite a tome, it is in 3 parts and has about 376 pages.

This is Intertronics shortened version of the IPC one, at only 186 pages!

You can imagine that NASA would have a document just relating to Soldering, a good read though. This is one of many documents produced by them, others include; ESD, PCB failures, Wiring, Staking and Conformal coatings.
