Many of our kits can be built with a soldering iron, solder, and very basic tools (screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers). However, in order to prepare for any build issues, we recommend having the following:

  • Wire Strippers
  • Needle Nose Pliers
  • Cutting Pliers
  • Desoldering Pump
  • Solder (60/40 rosin core recommended)
  • Soldering Station
  • Phillips Head Screwdrivers
  • Slotted tip screwdrivers (3mm tip)
  • Digital Multimeter (DMM)
  • Alligator Clip Test Leads (to fit DMM)
  • Channellock Pliers (or similar type)
  • Miniature Round File (fine cut)
