You can find hemostats at most electronics and medical supply houses. Magnifier With the size of today’s electronics, human eyes have hit their resolution limit for comfortable close-up work. It’s essential that you have some magnification. Even if your spot lamp has a magnifying lens, you’ll still need a head-worn magnifier, because the lamp will get in your way when it’s placed between your face and a small gadget. Glass is better than plastic, which gets scratched and can even melt when situated very near a soldering iron.

Thus, one cycle of the fastest waveform it can display will be broken into ten samples, which is pretty good. At a minimum, the sample rate should be four times the bandwidth. It is possible to sample repetitive waveforms at a rate slower than the bandwidth using a technique called equivalent-time sampling, in which each successive waveform is sampled at different points until the full representation is assembled. Equivalenttime sampling was developed when analog-to-digital converters were too pokey for real-time sampling of fast waveforms.

Some offer attachable arms perfect for gripping the edges of circuit boards, and they let you swivel the board to whatever angle you need. Hot-Melt Glue Gun A small glue gun can help you repair broken cabinet parts, and a dab of hot-melt glue is also great for holding wires down. Manufacturers sometimes use it for that, and you may have to remove the glue globs to do your work. Afterward, you’ll want to replace the missing globs. Magnet on a Stick The first time you drop a tiny screw deep into a repair project and it won’t shake out, you’ll be glad you bought this tool.
