Ben Eater’s breadboarding tips
I have seen this video before, it’s been around for five years. Good advice though.
Haako FR-301 desoldering tool US conversion
In this video he pops the lid and replaces some resistors to convert 100 V to 120 V for use with US utility power.
HAKKO FR-301 desoldering pump
Check out the HAKKO FR-301 demoed in the video below. My desoldering pump is the Pro’sKit SS-331H Desoldering Pump and I am happy with it so far, but I have only used it a little bit. If I ever need to upgrade or replace the Pro’sKit SS-331H I will definitely consider the HAKKO FR-301.
Removing IC when there’s no space around it
I’m gonna have to keep this in mind in case I ever need it.
