Necessary Tools?

[Muskydawg]

Haven't seen a post in this forum regarding tools needed, or suggested for working on all the different parts. After watching a couple Youtube videos it seems like most everyone tinkers with their stuff. Anyone have a "toolkit" that they put together for emergencies?

Hi, Musky. I only have Q-tips, tweezers and babywipes in my toolkit!

I don't have a toolkit as such, but I'll add to the list of things you might need with...

needle nose pliers, wire cutters, collection of small and pointy things (like brads and paper clips) and a huge roll of vapor towel.

Hi, Musky. I only have Q-tips, tweezers and babywipes in my toolkit!

all you will need starting out. depends on what you run. i also have some vodka to dip the qtips in to clean battery connectors. most people have tools for rebuilding coils and customizing. lots of paper towels also

In addition to the cleanup supplies already mentioned, a cheap multimeter is very handy for checking battery voltage and carto resistance.

Hmmmm. Don't have a toolkit for 'emergencies'.... don't have any. Except maybe some spilled juice, then paper towels and IP alcohol are always handy

Most tools are used for rebuilding coils/wicks. These include multimeter, tweezers, fingernail clipper and/or wire cutter, #2 sewing needle, needle-nose pliers, jewelry screwdrivers, scissors, & dental pick. Along with wick & wire of your choice of course.

For general upkeep, mother's metal polish, emery cloth, and noalox.

A good swiss army knife will cover just about everything you need for RBAs.

The tools I keep on my desk for maintenance consist of:
- Several dental picks.
- Variety of jewellers screwdrivers
- Bunch of round tooth picks
- Lots of paper towel
- Device work stand consisting of a block of scrap wood with a 510 to 510 adaptor epoxied in.
- Tweezers
- Several small glass bottles with airtight lids for soaking parts.
- Small basic multi-meter
- Sharp knife
- Variety of glass syringes with Luer lock blunt tips
- Pill organizer to keep parts and screws in while working on device.
- Nitrile gloves.

For heavier work, I have to raid my workshop...

q-tips, tap water, a sponge i can cut to clean areas, and some toothpicks make up my toolkit. i keep it old school.

Thanks for all the responses guys! Pretty much all basic stuff you have around the house, which is nice to know.
