Let us know the basic tools for electronic project in details
Wire Stripper
Wire stripper is require to open the insulation of wire and to make a workable lids to further solder or joints. you may need heat shrink insulator and different type of lugs to make a wire terminal. details of lugs and heat shrink insulator are available in the post “Introduction to basic project components”
Soldering Gun
This is a common tools for project enthusiasts. commonly 25 watt small soldering gun is used to solder the components on PCB or use to joints wire
Soldering Wire
Soldering wires are available in a small bobbin. this is simple zinc wire use for the soldering perpouse
Stand for soldering gun
Soldering gun stand is require for safety. As we are working with hot gun and keep it open on work table, then there are chances that we may burn our finger or hands.
Brass Metal wool
you need a piece of brass metal wool to clean the gun head. some times dust and dirt deposited on the tip of soldering gun and create problem during soldering
Multi-meter
Multi meter helps you to find voltage, resistance, continuity and polarity of diodes.
It is the best handy tools for everyone to make projects and to troubleshoot
Hand Tool for wire crimping
wire crimping tools are require to crimp lugs on the terminals
Note: All above tools are available at our stores for individual purchase or to purchase as EIL Basic tools Pack.
