Three most useful tools I got from AliExpress
« on: Yesterday at 12:48:24 pm »
The ckt board holder is stable and holds.  Much better than the alligator clamping thingies.  The Proskit is a joy. We had to heat and strike to desolder.  The Iwiss tool does a great job and is highly polished.

Links to the tools please.  :)

The board holder does look very nice, and do I see you invested in a chip tester? The one Adrian Black (digital basement) used to test al kinds of chips with?

I've got the board holder and the Proskit solder sucker. Both are good and work fine for me.

I really like the board holder.    If a board is too long, you can always hold it sideways or buy an Aluminum bar at a metals supplier.

Yes, I am assembling the retrochip tester from 8bit-museum.de.  I found it is much cheaper (but more painful) to order the parts from DigiKey; $120 vs about $250.

I have to find the ProsKit desolder gun.  But it was about $100; bought it as a "first timer" on another account.  (Yes, I am that cheap!)

Did you buy the board holder from this specific shop? IT has rather low feedback so I'm a bit hesitant.
