I do better with a magnifying lamp.
I have the one that clamps to the desk with the articulating arm.
Provides good light when needed and can look thru it when building for intricate builds.

Heck found a link:
Fluorescent Magnifying Lamp
Those are really nice too. I have a lighted bench, and prior hobbies called for higher magnification than those offered. If I was buying today, I might go with that. Just using what I already own.

I need help. Small hex screwdrivers that will work on rdas. Just need hex. My hands aren't what they used to be.

I've looked but don't have an idea what sizes rdas use, just small as hell.
They sell a set at Walmart with a ton of different sizes from minute up. Cheap, but effective. That’s a stylus next to it for size reference.

I don't know about Jay but me not losing 75% of those tiny heads would be a certified miracle.
I spent twenty minutes on the floor with a flashlight looking for the bloody tiny screw out of the rta deck. I’m a certified klutz. I’m going to start building in a plastic pan. Might be safer

A toilet paper roll holder???? You’re more expensive than Kohler ;)
Oh .... thats funny! Especially now that it has the derringer and skinny drip tip on it. I have tried to keep my devices from looking like vibrators only to make them look like toilet paper holders lmao:facepalm:

I build on my 521 tab and it catches the grubs usually. Maybe try a hand towel, doubt they would roll off of one.

Those sets might be okay for bigger screws. I'd never take one to the grubs on an atty, but that's me.

So I'm not going to mess with this anymore tonight.

My second B2K deck won't read correctly. Every could is .13-.17, on ohe tab or on a regulated mod.

I cleaned it, checked the 510, nothing looks out of place.

Ideas?
Sounds like a piece of wire in there somewhere, what does it read with no coil mounted?

I think I’m going to use the grid board I use for cutting glass. It’s deep enough nothing can bounce, and easy to use angle forceps to retrieve something
