>USB soldering iron

How well does it work? USB can do 2.1 A with 5V so you can get like 10 watts out of it? can that even work for a soldering iron?

Also, I've been wating to get a leatherman signal multitool for a while but I'm short on cash atm

Phillips and flathead screwdrivers are all I need bruh

Also a multi meter

It's fine for very small jobs. All I've used it for so far is putting a new battery on a gameboy game(pokemon red)

Don't get the signal. It's junk. If you're cheap, sidekick. If you want something to last a long time, wave. Best value? Rebar.

Thanks for the advice. I've been wanting a more (portable) soldering iron for field repairs and stuff on my multirotor but not sure about usb irons

>>60200888
What do you ever use the leathermans for on a PC? The pliers are way too big.

USB soldering irons are a thing.

5W isn't great but it is enough if you aren't soldering things with a large amount of mass behind them to dissipate heat.

Leatherman pliers on the older tools are pretty small.

Why are you suspicious of USB irons? Obviously they're not gonna be good for heavy projects, but if its just doing some high gauge wiring, or surface mount shit, its alright.

Excellent logic you got there friend

Leatherman is nice. Ive bought allen wrenches, files, a mallet, and some tourqe dtivers from stanly for working on my guns. All the tools worked well

Heres my screwdriver set i have on me 24/7. Its kind of a chink-copy of the swisstool bit driver except its a bit cheaper and the bit selection is more useful.

I don't find the need to hack job solder.

Yup, for multi-bit drivers, theres no question. Canadian-made too!
I'm gonna pick up a multique next time i'm at walmart(I know, its odd, but they're the only place i can find that stocks them in my city)

Y'all niggers are wrong
