One thing I would add is a collection of heat shrink tubes. A USB microscope is also extremely useful for PCB inspection (especially SMD).
I’ve bought cheep stuff and expensive ‘branded’ stuff before. No guarantee the ‘branded’ stuff is better than the ‘cheep’ stuff, maybe this video is a bit out of date and cheep stuff is generally better now.
Just saying.
I am trying to figure out how long will a 9volt battery power a 9volt relay? It is a bunch of math that I am not good with. Can someone help me out? Great channel and I am just finding it.

I thought this was pretty good. I feel like every one of these things I figured out was critical over several years. Definitely go with a name brand soldering iron. For years I thought I couldn’t solder. Or was really bad at it. Id had like 3 Chinese irons. Bought a hakko and it literally changed my life. I have every one of these things.
Where do you get your component kits. They are much nicer than what I see on eBay/amazon/AliExpress
(Russian voice)
In Russia equipment use you.
all u need to set up a lab is copper wire, a battery, and a multimeter to measure voltage
I’d like that equipment but I’d still be missing the most critical part of a lab, knowledge
I like electronics… i like sex… i like men… understand?
Can you speak slowly and short video time?
G’day Dave, Thanks for the video, made my lab and it’s working out great!
How can i set a lab if i live in Africa, i mean where can i get all this used stuff in africa ? We barely have electricity in africa, much less a harbor freight store or ebay.
Get one of those … *Solder suckers* !
Fantastic information. Thanks 😊
Dave ya should really update this you could easily shave hundreds off the cost of the lab.
I know it’s an old video Dave, but it isn’t legal to make products containing lead in the EU any longer
How come there is no risk when connecting up to mains earth to earth yourself via wrist strap if there is a lightening strike.
Also what do you use to heat the heat shrink stuff.
Isn’t it a bit Overkill?
ONE OF THE BEST MOTHER FU**ING THINGS YOU COULD BUY!!!!
OK YOU ARE ASSUMING PEOPLE WHEN FIRST STARTING IN TO ELECTRONICS REPAIR WILL HAVE LOTS OF MONEY TO BUY THE BRANDED STUFF,
AND THE EXPENSSIVE HAKKOS,
I STARTED MY ELECTRONIC REPAIR BUSINESS WITH 150€ (170 USD ROUGHLY)
NOW IM MAKING 10 TIMES THAT IN A SINGLE DAY IN EACH SHOP,
I DO OWN 4 REBALING MACHINES 25K EUROS EACH WITH X RAY,
I BUILD THIS SINCE 2008 WHEN I STARTED,
BUT YOU JUST CANT ASSUME PEOPLE WHEN STARTING WILL HAVE 600 € TO BUY A SINGLE HAKKO SOLDEERING STATION.
thanks for this. good video

Need a good design package.
Very nice title introduction.
You forgot a nuclear reactor, you can pick one for 1 million dollars, BARGAIN!!!
That’s a lot of unnecessary stuff, i’ve never used a breadboard in my entire life and i intend to never do… Just get what you need for the jobs you do 90% of the time. You can always buy more stuff WHEN actually needed.
a sledge hammer. also for failed projects.
Most important thing you need: a specific project you want to do. Without something specific, you’ll have real difficulty just doodling around.
Informative video but I’m worried you’re about to give yourself a stroke.
got a metcal soldering iron it came with my beemer…..
The most used piece of test gear in my shop is a logic probe with audio beeper.
Anyone wants to donate some oscilloscope to me 🏃♂️
drinking game, take a drink every time he says highly recommended!
Metcal? €£##€£#
Oh mg I almost got everything but the extinguisher lol if I get on fire I will have to run if I got time lol. Thank u for this video.
for the magnifier, try the Hastings Triplet type:
flat field view!
for Hot Melt Glue,
Project Farm’s guy tested ’em all & found that Stanley ( yellow stuff ) is most trustworthy.
Man, what alot of useful info in a short time!
Thank You, Dood!
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?

Great video and channel Dave, thanks a million! Please advise where I can get my hands on either a kit or ready built variable, dual tracking power supply pretty much exactly similar to the one you have at 5:50? I have looked everywhere on the internet but all I can find are fancy programmable, high power and other specialised units. PS, what is the ‘dropout’ LED for?
That failed board with the socket on? I would be too miserly to throw out.
Quick side note on the freezer spray. That is a sure fire way of blowing up ESD sensitive parts. Do not spray that onto your product. In a lab test environment on non-product parts, that’s OK, but be mindful. The spray generates hundreds of volts when used that way. The atomizer expels the fluid inside separating it into micro particles. This causes a butt load of static generation. Essentially guaranteeing the next time you touch your part there will be a discharge event.

Excellent and very informative video! I’ve built up many of these tools over the years. My "workshop" has decent lighting, but I’ve found that a good headlamp really helps me a considerable amount. The cheap-o models work, but don’t last as long. For example, the Fenix headlamps cost a little more but are durable. The fact that you can adjust the brightness level makes it an invaluable tool.
Clamp meter
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Noticing the numberplate from Back To The Future in the background – "Yep, I trust this guy!" **keeps on watching** 😂
I would like to talk to you about you using our product. contact me at mbrown@versatilepower.com
After 15 years in bussiness I realized that I need proper bin. And I bought it 3 days before I saw this video. I used to throw away things into cardboard boxes that came with parts "from internet".
you talk like a bunnings commercial its great
My flux capacitor has stopped fluxing.
What test equipment do I need to fix it.
That’s really cool – thanks for all the info.
I took an electronics class in college and just thought I could never afford all the "stuff" needed for my own lab. I’m starting to sense how wrong I was. Man I gotta get back into this stuff….it’s so interesting to me.
Is 20MHz really all I’ll need?
