@Matt, i generally keep my chainsaw downstairs away from my electronics. I can't have the oil everywhere!
@Samuel235 yeah the Dolmar leaks, I think its a design feature. Problem is I live with three drunken monkeys who are entropy impersonated, as such I cant keep anything inside if I want to find it again.

I am especially proud of my 20 years old analog soldering station. :D

I have the exact same one! :+1:
However, it's not in use anymore :flushed:

I just bought a new soldering iron for it last year. Had to google for days to find spare parts. :D

@gohan That looks very much like the one that @AWI posted previously in the thread only with a nice case and a color display. The one he posted is quite a bit cheaper. I may get one myself and just 3D print a case for it. I can use your link for the 3D case design.

Just looked on ebay, and here is one a bit cheaper that comes with a basic case.

if you want the case it costs 10$. The one I posted it seems to have pretty much the same specs, but it can detect also IR and probably some more components. It also comes with a lithium battery instead of the classic 9V, color screen and the case looks much better :)

@gohan You are right. I just ordered the thing. With the case and the builtin battery it looks like a real tool. The price seems to be a promotion. Normal price is >30$.
You shoult by the way fix the link. Makes it easier for others to order it.I am looking for a soldering vise. Has anyone tested this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00196RV9C/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2COJS1QZ6SUVJ&coliid=IQEGMI1GM2R46 ?

Fixed the link; anyway it is a recurring promotion because I have seen that price for quite a while :)
@gohan Then you can safely lean back and wait for my review. ;)

@Jan-Gatzke I have this one:
It's able to hold all kinds of PCB sizes and can rotate easily.
Tip for soldering through-hole components from the back without them falling out:
Place all components on the top of the PCB and put a sponge or scotch-brite on top of them. Fix to the PCB with some rubber bands and swap the PCB to solder! -

There was a review saying the brackets would melt easily when using hot air. Did you use this with hot air?

When you clamp a PCB in it only the edges are held by the plastic brackets.
Unless you are blowing directly on the edge of the PCB where it is held I can imagine this could be a problem, but then, why don't you shift or rotate the PCB to get away from the brackets?Did you use this with hot air?
Yes

@gohan Be aware that there are quite a few different versions around. The one I posted has a rotary encoder to select and operate the pwm and frequency functions. The perspex casing fits well with the rest of the nerdy testboxes I own (dummy load, power supply, a few function generators, frequencycounter ) All a lot of functionality for very little..
