Power Supply: Korad KA3005D Soldering Station: KSGER OLED T12 Hot Air: BEST BST-863 Flux: Kalafonia Microscope: Whatever you can afford. Multimeter: UT801 he is using is really outdated look for Uni-T UT8802E Or UT8803E

Back in the 70’s when I was a young teenager I had a bit of wood with 2 lengths of wire top an bottom (a bread board) and a ‘lucky bag’ bag of bits. I got a small pocket analog multimeter for my 14th birthday and away I went. I tried making a soldering iron and blew the mains fuse for the ‘ringmain’. Nearly 45yrs later I’m still learning about electronics. My hobby became my job and today I learned something from Sorin. This is the place for honesty.

Great video. I love listening to Soren's laconic Eastern European monologues about things - I especially love the way he phrases things. 'Is good. Is cheap. Don't get expensive. You will be disappointed.'

You are really a great teacher because of you from an electronics hobbyist am going to transform to an electronics technician.

Dl. Sorin, mi-am facut si eu laboratorul meu acasa asta datorita bunavointei dumneavoastra de a imparti cu noi cunostintele pe care le detineti, tin sa va multumesc pe aceasta cale si va marturiesc ca ma uit cu mare interes la fiecare clip pe care il postati. Felicitari !

I love beginner videos... Thank you very much sir

Aarón Stark cheap tools won’t last and are not very useful for beginners, and to get away with using cheap tools then you need to be a expert, a good soldering iron is a must for novice and you’ll get away with using cheap multimeter but the rest of stuff must be decent

I hope every day that you make a video. Thank you for your content.

I like how you use the power supply to find the shorts. Thanks for the tool review.

Hi sorin, thankyou for your useful tutorial video. Thnx

Man thank you for the video! Making my move right now on the setup!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I went through your video s and they are both informative and entertaining. Peter

Great video! I love beginner videos... Thank you so much for teaching us . .

Exelent.. answers my question in great detail about the power supply.. thanks for the discord invite link too.. you are a saint Sorin😁👍

Another great video Sorin. Just a word on ordering from China. If the item ordered is valued above £10 approx, customes and excise will ask for 20% VAT which is okay BUT, the Royal Mail will add another £8.00 set admin charge. So, if the soldering iron costs £19.00 from Ali Express, expect to pay an additional £11.80 !

I enjoyed your video and thanks for your honesty on buying tools.

Thank you for those precious advices

Good tips for newcomers always straight to the point, i like your accent.. greetings from Brazil.

Thank you sir. You are an awesome person

Never thought about the tips when buying soldering iron/station for forever! But it is an eye-opener when looking back at all the lost time and tools.

The TS100 and Sequre-001 are sick soldering irons, definately on my to get list.

i'm not skipping ads for you, because you help me a lot to start my business here in philippines

bcoz of this channel i am starting to practicing electronics

very well explained...

I am an experienced TV engineer , I totally agree with you no need for expensive tools, so what I have done is, packed my over priced Pace solder station. the NEW solder station in the workshop is a Z99 adjustable solder station I think to 460 oc, the cost £11:85 p no special treatment normal workshop use I want to see how long it lasts, I've also bought a cheap hot air station, as of course the Pace is off line, I'm fascinated to see how they will perform, because I've often wondered if I paid for the name not the device.

Thanks Sorin , Have a good weekend. :-)

Muito bom video, thanks

So informative and complete. Always getting juicy bits of information thar are so helpful,...Thank you

Excellent job.

Your lesson is the best lesson.

See you monday Sr.have good weekend!!!

Valuable informations. THanks.

Hello my friend....you are one of the best teachers online.....I don't have the words to explain how much I appreciate you and the knowledge you share....I can feed my family making repairs for people......I was thinking of starting a business of building and repairing computers and laptops.....do you think it will be a lucrative business in the US?

I use a DT830B multimetter and Gordak 952,i am very happy.

really you are best man. I have watched your video more and i got more knowledge specially on chipsets.

Hi I bought same soldering machine n thank you so much

Thanks for the inspiration and motivation 🙂 With the excellent videos you have uploaded I’ve repaired 8 Samsung phones varying from a Note 3 faulty note screen to a total restoration of Samsung S6. Over the weeks I’ve been buy tools needed for each repair including Kalafonia flux. Next on my shopping list is a hot air station and micro-soldering tools. I had some difficulty sourcing quality suppliers and with just starting the business, working capitol is limited and I buy as and when needed. I ordered a screen for the note 3 which turned out to be faulty. They sent out a replacement one the next day. Can you give me an indication of what screens you keep in and do you send your old screens with working touch to a refurbishing company ? Any way thanks for the inspiration Sorin and keep up the excellent work. 🙂

Have you noticed? Sorin is good with both hands. He is ambidextrous! Great man!!

Maestro, thanks for the tips 👍

I just finished downloading all your videos for like 3-4 days 1 by 1.. Those collection more useful than Imperial Library of Constantinopel.. Jk, I mean its really useful for slow learner like me. Idk I would like to treat you something if you ever come to Malaysia for all the things you done. Thanks a lot!

Sorin, make a video about basic usage of an Oscilloscope, what is important and where is absolutely necessary to use an oscilloscope.

Hello, thanks again for this video, myself i am using a Mustool G600 microscope , only 35€ , that is not binocular, but HD with a good screen and SD card for recording, good enough to check phone connectors and bad joints or anything, no need a medical laboratory microscope in my case. Good evening and sunday All

nice video as usual, and what about the tin soldering wire ? what do you use ? i bought one from aliexpress , it was really bad.

Thank you sir.

In one of your videos you used a very thin cordless screw driver. It looked like it was awesome. would love to know the brand. Also thank you. love your videos. I Love the no nonsense , no BS approach with your videos.

One thing i use is a reference voltage circuit (very cheap) to calibrate my cheap voltage meters and write the date on the back. Often cheap meters don't have a way to calibrate, but it's easy to find how to add a variable resistor yourself.

3:05 I have that exact multi-meter lol the £12.99 one. It's really good.

Tnx for info!!

great advice

that solder iron is a Weller clone , it uses mainly N1 tips, but some exotic models use LT or ET tips.

The searching for tips and the soldering iron after, is actually a really good tip. I learned it the bad way. Bought my 1st soldering station, a cheap one, and I couldn't find no tips nowhere. I then searched for tips and found out that the Hakko brand is really good and there is a lot on Chinese knockoffs just as good as the original ones. All kinds of tips and soldering irons at really good prices. I have a 2 in 1 YIHUA 862D soldering station and a cheap hakko tips compatible soldering iron for easy transport. Bought two ANENG AN8009 from Ebay. Very good price/quality and comes with a bag with lots of accessories and different tips. I use KINGBO RMA-218 gel flux, very good price/quality.

So now instead I'm going to buy the same as you YIHUA 862D (120 USD incl .shipping) so you save me a potential headache and 15 USD :)

Awesome again..

Thank you sir

Thanks Sorin! Quick question, did you bend the soldering tip yourself?

i have a cheap hot air and its perfect 4 years now and a cheap iron i buyed last year a weller for me while i love weller and i sended it in 4 times 2 times the powerpack exploded and 2 times it;s brocken at the top so you are very right have a nice day

dear sir god bless you and your family.

Real AMTECH is manufactured and distributed only in USA. I have one from Rossmann group and it's very good.

good,, video

thank you Sorin sir.. I'm from Sri lanka

More great advice. My question is do cheap soldering irons get hot enough? I've seen many guys say they're junk, they break, don't heat up. Are they just being snobs?

yihua 928d-iii is great and portable. Auto Sleep and constant temp also

congratulation SORIn you are the first person to actually get to Page 4 of the search result.

do you have a video explaining the difference on lineal vs switching power supply?

This is too cool

Hi, very helping video thanks...I would like to know , What is proportion of IPA and rosin to make liquid flux ? Pls

Chinese brand multimeter is good to test low voltage but if you want test the high voltage better use Mastech Uni-t or Fluke

Me now 60 I am electronics engineer from India But most time work different field like electric, electronics cement, oil & gas industry. Thanks for your video i have seen your more than 10 video

Wish i had seen your video earlier. I recently bought a cheap soldering station and it came with just two tips. And now that i try to buy more i can't find ANY that would fit. No cheap ones, no expensive ones... none. :-D On to the next one i guess. :-D My only consolation is that it cost me just 20 Bulgarian leva a.k.a. £9.

Microscopes: make sure to get a good boom arm that can swing across the whole board. My first had a short arm and I found my self trying to balance it on half on the boards just to be able to see a section.

Good video. Have one question. Which screewdriwer you use for Y Iphone screews? This cheap which come with LCD is not reliable. Sorry for bad English

Everything tool must be a good quality:) i have hot air,solderstation,stereoscope microscope for amateur(aomekie),bad multimeter....and i feel sometimes very bad in working :)

Hi Sorin, love your videos, even the jobs you think are boring. I have to ask though, why do you (and others, Louis Rossmann etc) add so much flux when de-soldering components? I've spent the last 50 years de-soldering without flux and only use it when refitting components. When I test component removal with flux vs no flux, I see no difference. What am I missing? Cheers.

no-flux is prone to oxidized/corroded circuitry and components. Also flux helps with solder molten flow ^^

The ones with the fan in the handle tend to do that. try turning down the airflow and it will help. I have one of the cheap 858D and it's good for many jobs (it will blow components around though) but it is no comparison to the Quick 861DW I now have. Also the 858D just does not have enough power to remove larger chips. IMHO it is worth paying more for better equipment in some cases.
