I) Soldering Preparation: Prepare wires and electrical components for soldering
- Helping Hands: Hold wires up for easier soldering
- Wires: Connecting piece of components
- Wire strippers: Removes coating off the wire to expose the metal underneath
- Flux: Helps solder stick between two connecting wires
- Shrink Wrap/Electrical Tape: Cleans up the look of the soldered wires
- Electrical Components: Resistors, Capacitors, Microcontrollers, etc
- Wire Cutters: Snip the long legs off the ends of components
II) Soldering Material: To solder this equipment needs used with one in each hand
- Soldering Iron: Heats the solder up for mounting wires/components together
- Solder Wire/Roll: Used in conjunction with the iron to seal together wires to circuits
III) Around the Workspace: Keeps the iron clean, user safe, and helps remedy mistakes
- Brass Shavings/Wet Sponge: Cleans any excess solder from the soldering iron tip
- Fume Extractor: Removes fumes from area and keeps user safe
- Solder Sucker Gun: Removes any excess solder
