    • A number of 'holding hands' type devices and one Panavise Jr. for holding circuit boards
    • Solder suckers and solder wick
    • Solder

    • A number of normal 'pencil' type soldering irons, and stands for them.
  • Located on the window ledge at the front of the lab:
    • One Edsyn Loner variable temperature soldering station with a small wedge tip on the iron
