Workshop

[Yotdawglife]

I'm converting a portion of my desk to wrap coils and work on mods, I have a bunch of stuff coming in the mail, but I was thinking I need some things to do work.


So far

Needles nose pliers.
Set of screwdrivers in various sizes.
Nail Clippers.
Working mat, similar to a mouse pad.
Lamp
Magnifying glass.
Some sort of item to organize all my stuff.

So essentially what I am asking are there any tools or items that you've found proven to be super helpful and anything i've not listed?

Tweezers
Small drill bit set Preferably numbered set for me
Caliper for measuring
Multimeter
build stand with a 510 connector installed into it or You drill and tap the threads in a metal block
small torch or torch style cigarette lighter

 

[Yotdawglife]

I have a butane torch
ceramic tipped tweezers.

any recommendation on multimeter
and I've never used a caliper before, what would it be used in?

also drill bits to wrap coils, or to actually drill ?

I found a small tackle box at Wal-Mart for around $10 that has two trays with movable dividers, a spacious bottom area, and it holds all my tools, wire, etc, with room to spare.

One of these is a must for me and you can get them cheap. It is actually a vise for tying flys for fly fishing. Works pisser!img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/04/apy2azy6.jpg


Even if we're six feet under ground, I know that we'll be safe and sound.

For a meter you don't have to have a big name type but its better if you do. Any radio shack meter will get the job done. The drill bits are for both winding a coil and drilling out posts and airholes.
The calipers I use to measure holes and Bits with, numbered bits only have a number not a size like 3/64 they increase in size by very small graduations so having a caliper is handy to know the size.

I just cleaned out an old desk and now it's my work station.
