Essential Tools that you will need for creating electronics projects!

what do you call the shit you've been using to hold the tools in your wall

Those "cheap" things are way expensive for my budget 😭

毫无疑问，这是一个非常奢华的个人实验室

No touch voltage detector

Great overview!

I fully agree with most of your suggestions. I would also add:

Wire cutter It's a bit brutal sometimes but always works

A magnifying glass. Even if you have perfect vision, it always helps to zoom in to see better. Plus the LEDs help even in bright environments

Soldering flux. It makes soldering soooo much easier, put it in a small syringe so that you don't make a mess or use more than it's needed (it stinks but only when burned and is not good to breathe)

Acetone and an old toothbrush. They help a lot with cleaning the mess that comes with soldering especially while using flux.

If you don't have a heat gun, use a lighter to shrink heat shrink tubing. It needs a bit of practice to learn not to burn it. A jet lighter works very well. Too well, even with a normal one I'm now fine with not having a heat gun

Solder pump (this thing that sucks melted solder with the press of a button). It has saved me tons of time and it was less than two bucks there's no reason not to have it when you need it

If you can't afford a lab bench power supply, get a variable voltage transformer. It looks like a normal transformer but at the bottom it was a knob to choose between 3, 4.5, 5, 6, 9, and 12 volts. It's dead cheap (around 12€) and works flawlessly

Helping clamps (they hold the circuit in place while you're soldering). I can't live without them after I got them for less than 10€

A ruler is also handy to have around along with a marker.

I'm a noob, but I'd say Label Maker. I've watched all the amazing detail with your meticulous writing and drawing of circuits, yet you use masking tape and a pencil or bad marker to label your cabinets and supplies. It's just humerous. I've learned so much just watching a few videos so far. Obvious you really know your stuff. Keep up the great work. And get a label maker...

Why only two isolated differential probes? You don’t want to see all three waves when testing VFds?

is there anywhere where you comment about what DC loader you have to simulate load on circuits ?

Anybody have a link for the DPS 5315 lab bench power supply?? I can't find this anywhere

you also missed. Computer

This video was 10 mins of my guy flexing on all of us. Damn...

Thanks Scott. I think you covered everything I might have thought of, and then some. Though I was a bit surprised that you didn't have an isolation transformer as part of your equipment to protect yourself from electrical shocks or your oscilloscope. But then, I'm relying on what someone strongly suggested during my research on lab equipment. I also have to admit I don't have much experience working with powered-on HV electronic circuits. I follow the "one hand in your pocket rule" when working on these.

Your not a great Scott but your a genius Scott 🙂

You have prusa na

Great schottky diode

Holy shit 12k oscilloscope bourgeoisie

Wie kommst du an Sachen von Würth?

A small vice would also be very useful, I use it a lot when drilling, cutting up and polishing PCB's. It's also good for making small wood/plastic pieces.

Great video! But I have a general question: Where do you go (online) to buy expensive equipment such as the oscilloscope on an individual basis (i.e., not as part of a business or trade)? I don't trust the quality or authenticity of the products on Ebay, and I would rather not give Jeff Bezos any more sales turnover by buying from Amazon. Thank you for your help!

I'm so brand conscious and brand loyal. That said, none of them has ever failed me, although none were the cheapest. Scope: Lacroy Waverunner. Meter: Fluke 87VMAX. Desktop meter: HP/Agilent. Soldering Station: Weller. Screwdrivers: Wiha. The best of the best.

About $10,000?

I'm Using a Fluke 179 Multimeter is it good

Thanks Keep inspiring. Greetings from Venezuela 2022

For smaller jobs, especially ones that a hobbyist like myself do, I don’t think a lot of thee things are essential. Some good wire strippers and needle nose pliers are nice to have, the soldering iron is a must, the miltimeter for sure, and for screwdrivers I definitely recommend the IFixIt kit that comes with the 64 or so bits. Other than that the only thing I’ve ever needed was a good bright lamp and Heat shrink which you can find a box that will last you for years for like $5. The power supply might also be nice, but I don’t think it’s TOO necessary for hobbyists.

Those are not the essential tools, they are all the tool you would ever need.

Hey you have missed the fume extractor

Wowww...... I like ....

Thank you for this video! Could you explain why you use variable transformer when you already have several lab bench power supplies? Don't they work the same in term of voltage?

Nice ✅

i want all

Why there's thumbs down

noice!

Brother you miss the l'& key set

Time...if u have money u just pay someone do it for u.

Don’t worry too much if him and everyone in the comments make you feel overwhelmed, you can get everything dirt cheap from China and half the stuff isn’t fully necessary if you’re willing to get creative

Rotary Tool?

Wow... This video is a visual treat for every hobbyist

Most essential tool to make electric project is knowledge. And courage of curiosity to gain more and more knowledge of any field.

I know some fools will come to tell me that its all about the money but don't listen to them, they're those who haven't tried themselves and just see doing others and now they think its easy.
Don't go after money, go for knowledge and skills money will come to you.
one more thing, knowledge is almost free in this interconnected world nowdays.

Now you have 1.5M subs, now you should improve your intro, existing have very less pixels (i mean lights) so increase small many lights

I would like to remind the author that not everyone lives in Germany

This is such a discouraging video for beginners. You do NOT need to spend several hundreds/thousands of euros on essential equipment.

An oscilloscope, microscope, and a soldering station are very unnecessary. You only need a soldering iron, pliers, and a sidecutter for most projects.

Show us all your projects, where do you store all the projects?

God, I hate organized people! (smile)

You missed out on your shelf of marker pens!

The most important tool is a magnet to disable the security system from a garage. :D
