just a little fyi, you are better off with a corded iron rather than that cold heat. I have a cold heat, I used it once and it wouldnt even melt the solder and now it sits in my barn under everything else that fails...
yeah everything is neat 'cept for teh coldheat like skullmaster said0-800 my ass.....thing dosn't work at all
hell i don't eaven use one when im working with IC's at school
i have one too, but i never use it. you have to have the tip touch the circuit board along with the solder otherwise it won't work. and even then it only works 20% of the times i try. say you wanna wire some 0603 leds, not gonna happen.
Your Cold heat nor your 15 watt solder iron will be able to do anything with the solder braid, it simply won't work, you need a really high wattage Iron for Solder braid, just a information.
just kinda crush the wire until your wires kinda halfway through it its what i do with my 20 watt and i get decent results i could switch it up to 40 watts i guess.Ok I will try that..thanks
Hmm pretty decent list for a modder . I agree with everyone else though, COLDHEAT BLOWS, literally, it won't solder much, and under pressure, you'll want to throw it agaisnt something, lol. I didn't buy the Anti-Static strap, but I haven' shorted anything with my body, yet :P. Only thing I shorted was a fuse on the DS from putting the battery the wrong way :laugh:. The Helping Hands, is as the name says, your 2 extra hands in soldering and holding anything, it pwns. Sadly, I went cheap, and bought a smaller version of it on Ebay for 8 bucks, it aint bad at holding, but the maginifying glass is too small to do much T_T. In any case, it's a good list to start with, hopefully you sell the cold heat to some sap ( ), and get a good run with your materials.
sorry tec but its so tempting okay robot there is no reason to keep drive if you dont want to play umds, all though i m not "With" the cfw scene atm, but i think that sometimes you ahev to hav ea u,d int he drive for it to play backups, like no umd functionbut taking out lets you put mods in there without wasting space
i like the word coldheat.....it sounds stupid...cause WTF is cold heat....its or cold...or heat/hot
