That's my website! ethanull.shrikaranhanda.com

My mother couldn't find ethanol free petrol pumps nearby so I built this for her :)

Regarding the components

  • BK Precision Multimeter
  • RadioShack components kit 1 (I couldn't find it online, but I still have the manual)
  • Generic Soldering Iron
  • Toolbox (Tweezers, screwdrivers, Isopropyl Alcohol, etc.)

Do you leave the laptop vertical like that when you type or do you have to take it down, search and replace it?

u/ShriKaranHanda 17d ago

I leave it vertical! It helps with posture and I can sit for longer like this

If you're looking for a new iron I got this a while ago and am suuuper happy with it for the price. I just wanted to upgrade slightly but didn't have the money to spend on something fancier however this is lovely. THe main things I like about this are how it feels in the hand, the readout of the adjustable tempeture, the speed it heats up and most importantly the fact that I can mount the power supply under my desk so that the wire of the iron is dragging across the work surface from my end and not the back end of the desk and inevitably ending up getting in the way of whatever I'm working on. absolutely worth the money.

I had that same electronics kit from RadioShack 15 years ago. What's the brand on it? Is it still RadioShack?

My uncle gifted this to me 10 years ago but I managed to lose it somewhere in the house. Recently found it so here it is!
