I have been using the same method, never crossed my mind that it’s not the way to go. Well from know on I will use the plastic tweezers instead. Thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you for these awesome tutorials you made. Your videos are both informative and fun to watch. And I learned a lot of Gameboy cartridge related knowledge. You're fantastic!

Thanks man! You're in luck - This week I have a GBA cart battery tutorial coming out too. 🙂 Thanks for watching!

Also do your tweezers have a number on the other side I bought a cheaper kit than the I fix it because I didn’t have enough money but it came with a working triwing screwdriver, 3.8m gamebit security tool and plastic tweezer that look exactly like yours do you assume their safe too?

Yup, my main pair of metal tweezers say "ESD-14" on them, and a pair of my plastic ones say "93301" on the side. A quick Google search of both of those (with "tweezer") yielded good results. Hope this helps you!

Great guide! Definitely will follow it when I replace my save battery. Just wondering, are the "Precision Anti-Static ESD Tweezers" on Amazon (US) safe to use, or are those practically what you initially used?

Yup, I think those are pretty much exactly what I first used. Try to find some fully plastic tweezers instead. Cheers, and thanks so much for watching! 🙂

@@KyleAwsm Another question. Would you say 70% is good enough to clean the residue from flux, or is 90% really needed? The latter isn't widely available from what I can see. I guess QD Contact Cleaner wouldn't work well (in terms of removing flux)?

70% will suffice if you have nothing else. You'll just go through it more quickly than you would 90%, since it's not as strong of a solvent as the 90. The contact cleaner should be ok too, but I am not sure how good it is at dissolving flux. Cheers!
