In this video I fix up one of my Torx T15 drill bits which was damaged by corrosion.

I mention about my broken Logitech C922. I have three of these. They are low resolution (1080p) cameras I use for doing low res video such as with the Welcome Cam, Wide Cam, and Lab Cam. (If you’re interested my good 4K cameras are Logitech BRIO which I use for doing high res video such as with the Bench Cam, Book Cam, and Booth Cam).

The BlueRigger active USB cable I mention is this one: BlueRigger USB 3.0 Extension Cable (32FT, Active, 5 Gbps, in-Wall CL3 Rated, Type A Male to Female Cord). An “active” cable is a powered cable which includes a signal amplifier so the cable can transmit a signal over a long distance, in this case 10 meters (32 feet). I’m not sure if this active cable somehow damaged my Logitech C922? It was working, then it stopped working, but I don’t know why. Maybe dodgy power supply, maybe dodgy cable, maybe dodgy camera, hard to say.

The Deoxit I mention is this one: Cleaning Solution Kit DeoxIT Contact Cleaner & Rejuvenator Improve Performance. But the one I want to get is Hosa D5S-6 CAIG DeoxIT 5% Spray Contact Cleaner, 5 oz. which was mentioned on Adrian’s Digital Basement.

When I say that “I will turn it up to eleven”, I am obviously referencing the old classic, Spinal Tap.

The Mechanic UV solder mask and UV light I use in this video is this one: 3PCS MECHANIC 10ML UV 3S Quick-drying Solder Mask Ink for Mobile Phone Repair Jumping Wire + L1 UV curing light.

The UPS devices I mention are these ones: PowerShield Defender 1600VA. I am pretty happy with them, but it’s annoying that I have to replace the batteries every few years. My new powerboards are these ones: 10 Way Power Board Surge Protected Outlets USB Ports Coax USB Network Protection.
