We have some new tools and supplies in our electronics lab. This was a fairly significant purchase given our budget. Please take care of them and use wisely, none of these items should leave the eLab!
1x Hakko FR300 Desoldering Gun
The desoldering gun should be replaced back in its case and put in the black toolbox when finished.
1x Hakko FX888D Soldering Station
2x Irwin Self-Adjusting Wire Stripper
4x Solder Reel Stands
1x Solder 60/40 1/2 pound roll
3x Solder 63/37 1/2 pound rolls
Solder is very expensive, do not reel off 10 feet to take home. A 1/2 pound roll is $20/ea., 1 pound is $30/ea. Since we have had a few rolls seem to disappear very quickly we will be rolling small amounts at a time onto the reels. If you cannot find any let me know (via PM) and I will give you the code to the electronics locker in the breakroom. As much as I like Jim & Jimmy Tanner, I don’t want to be buying $100 worth of solder a week.
We have two new Fluke 115’s on the way to replace those that walked. If these disappear we will have to go to a bring your own policy. Or lock them up with a check in/check out system. Don’t make us be your parents. Remember: Be excellent!
Thanks, that is all.
