EEVblog #180 - Soldering Tutorial Part 1 - Tools

Watch this before spending money. Dave Jones opens his three-part 2011 soldering series with an episode that is all about the tools you might need. For a beginner on a budget it is the most practical episode on this list, because knowing what each item actually does keeps you from buying a bundle of extras that will sit in a drawer. Treat it as a reference to pause on while you build a shopping list, then move on to part 2 for the soldering itself.
