These calipers provide excellent quality and precision, and with their fully stainless steel construction, they are made to last. Check out our Amazon Affiliate link listed below.

PINECIL – Smart Mini Portable Soldering Iron, Small
I've used every soldering option available, from cheap dollar-store soldering irons to expensive, bulky soldering stations. Never before have I loved a soldering iron as much as I love the Pinecil64. This soldering iron, with its built-in digital display, runs off USB Type-C, which works perfectly with my 65W dual USB laptop charger. The tip system makes this soldering iron even better, as entire ends can be hot-swapped instantly, including tips of all types, such as those for heat-set inserts.
