Just got my Omnifixo for Christmas! Looking forward to trying it out fully but I always found the croc clip helping hands more trouble than they are worth.

What fume extractor do you use?

Beautifully made product Johann! Question, which desoldering pump you’re using?

THANKS! I'm using the "Engineer SS-02 Solder sucker".

I just received mine! Really nice. It holds the wires still, oh, what a relief. No comparison to that awful blue tack for joining wires. Question: what is the tip material? Is it heat resistant silicone? I'm afraid I'll melt it.

Hi Michael, Thanks a lot for the nice feedback and for the question! You are right the tip sleeves are made from a heat resistant silicone (VGP60) that manages 180°C for an extended time and easily 350°C for a shorter time (solder/solder tip slip). It will not melt but if the temperature gets high enough +500°C or +350°C for minutes it will first be discolored and then in the end get "burned" and lose its properties. If that ever happens let me know, I have spares at hand. //Johann

Hope it will be available for shipping in other country as well. If not, I'm just going to use a forwarder. Btw, what is the bench psu are you using?

Hello, I'm shipping to many countries but not to all, yet. You can always e-mail me for special requests ;-) PSU in the clip is the MDP-P906 from MiniWare

What soldering iron do you use?

Weller WSM 1 - I really recommend it but it is not low cost ~€400 🙂

If you can afford to buy this expensive tool, you certainly can afford to buy a $30 heat gun. Shrinking heat shrink tubing with a BIC lighter is classless and leaves soot marks.

I own two good heat guns and always seem to default to the bic lighter. 😂
