+ a lot more. and some DIY kits.....

I'm considering buying one of those. but can it be used seriously?
Some of them have reviews. and don't look to awful....


Those look interesting.
If you buy one, let us know how it works out.

Btw - This thread has been useful for me. I am looking at this same purchases.
I also want to try working with smt components.
I haven't decided whether a hot plate or a small oven make more sense.
I saw a fairly nice convection oven with digital controls.
But I doubt the temperature control is that accurate.

Fluke makes some good scope meters..though I don't think so cheap.  You get what you pay for in the long run..

@ Iggy
Yes, i will look into it. but bare in mind, i am no an electrical engineer. I have no clue to where the limits of a device like this would be. And not to mention calibration..........(!)
As soon as i get my little hobby room finished i will start assembling misc equipment and tools. and then I'll let you know how it works.

@ Vlabguy1
I have worked with fluke multimeters, and they are sweet. have an Escort multimeter now.
The only downside about fluke is its price....

Also when I was referring to scope in OP I was referring to microscope, it made some of the fine soldering a breeze.  :)

Has anyone had experience with Tenma equipment? Seems like they have quite a few low cost offerings.

Don't know, I have never needed to use tweezers.  There has to be a compaibility list somewhere on the net.

I got the AOYUE T001 tweezers to work on the 852D++, but there is no temperature reading. As such, they aren't really safe for me or for the equipment.

The tweezers themselves are rubbish when compared to the JBC I had been using.

So, time for me to start saving the pennies and either get a JBC or a Weller.
