Guys! Welcome to Tools and Coffee, let's get started
That's right, as you saw in the tittle, this is a simple video
but it was asked, I asked for opinions and wrote down everything I could so that I could bring
a new episode, remember to leave your comments
so I can know which tools you would like me to talk about
every Sunday is a new episode of Tools and Coffee
Today we are going to talk about something easy, it won't take more than 5 minutes to talk about it
Hand tools
What tools do I need to do my microsoldadure jobs? The hand tools
ok then
let's make a list here, I have a lot of them here
I need tweezers, one straight tweezer, no matter which one
but I need a straight tweezer
I don't know when you're going to see this video, but these "Mata iPhone" tweezers are already on sale
we'll have them available
these tweezers are great, the material they are made of is very good
these are like 2 years old and I still have them
these are good tweezers, I don't know when they'll be available
in your country when I'm making this video
if not, online there should be
So, tweezers like these, a straight precision tweezers
they should not be too thick because we will need them to grip wire
a capacitor
anything, so we need tweezers
I use the "Mata iPhone" for many things
but you can also have another one
for more delicate works, so these are straight tweezers
Ok, that would be the first hand tool
We'll also need a curved tweezer, no matter if it is thick from here
but I need these for reballing
I have to position it like this
not to remove circuits, it is a little uncomfortable to do it with these tweezers
I only use these for reballing
specially for CPU reballing, that's the only use I have for these
but it's good to have it in our kit
speaking of tweezers, I always recommend to have one curved tweezers
for removing circuits with the gravity method
this is a superfine tweezers
as you can see here, it's superfine
I almost always bend the tips
I only use this for removing circuits
only that, I don't touch it
only for removing circuits
so, it is a good tweezer
so, speaking of tweezers, I only have these
one curved for removing circuits, one curved for reballing
one or two straight tweezers
for removing capacitors, solder some resistor, anything
these are always in my kit
Now, what else do we need?
We need a spatula
these are super cheap
these are for reballing, this will help you
sorry for the camera blur
this will help you for reballing, so it's pretty good
then we'll need a scalpel, preferably a #11 scalpel
and preferably, I'll leave you a good tip
I always use these scalpels from the Feather brand
these have a fairly sharp tip
one box of these costs, it's not so cheap, it cost about $30 and it has 100 units
but it is what I use and it is superfine at the tip, this is what I use with my #11 scalpel
it is this basically, so this is what I use
What else do we have here?
We have a brush, these are very useful and not so expensive
I use it to clean the processors, the motherboard
and many things, so I always have one of these, but I also have a teethbrush
a Colgate teethbrush, you can clean with one of these, but it's good to have one of these
and then we have
this is a Qianli tool, very popular among technicians
this is the Qianli 007
this is 007, I always have one side as a spatula
for removing circuits, but this is what I use most often
this
I use this one for cleaning circuits
I always sharpen it
I sharpen it with this tool
I do it so that it is superfine from the tip, with this
you've seen me many times that I clean
circuits let's see... focus focus...
many times I clean with this one and also use this for removing resing, because this part
it's a bit sharp, so I use it to clean
the spatula, I'll leave another Qianli, there are 3 Qianli that have many tips
and you can change them, this is a very useful tool
I recommend it a lot, then
I know it goes without saying but, screwdrivers
I have had these screwdrivers for about 5 years, Qianli brand
very good, I have never needed to change the screwdrivers
and I still use them
I try to have this at hand, what else do I have here?
I have a tattoo needle
I use this for very fine jobs, since the tip
it's very hard
and I can use it to push a circuit
to apply the UV mask in very small places
and that's all I have on my workbench, we could say these are like
my main hand tools that I use everyday
they are not expensive tools, I can assure you
well, these screwdrivers are a bit expensive
they cost about $13 each
but we don't have to invest too much in this set
and this is what we use to work all the day
someone asked me for this video about "What hand tools do we need?"
and
and the advantage and disadvantage is that there are now so many tools and brands available
I recommend things that I feel comfortable working with
I've been working with them for a while now, I don't change them very often
I've been working for years and still buying the same
So, this was a simple video, always trying to contribute to this beautiful community
have a great Sunday
take care and we'll see you in the next video
Bye!
... and if you are watching this video on another day, have a nice day!
