This is the same sample text. This is more of the same sample text. I am a big fan of this sample text. |  |
| Soldering Iron | A hand tool which heats metal solder in order to join two components. Soldering is most commonly used to join electrical components in a circuit. There are two soldering kits for use at the electronics station in the center of the Maker Hub, and there are also several available for checkout in the Tool Room. For your safety, please always place the soldering iron in its holder when not in use. Always use a fume extractor to protect yourself from harmful fumes. Soldering kits also come with a tackle box containing useful tools for soldering, such as wire crimpers. Please make sure all contents of this box are returned when you finish using a soldering kit. |  |
| Analog Discovery 2 | A USB oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and multi-function instrument that allows users to measure, visualize, generate, record, and control mixed-signal circuits of all kinds. |  |
| Fluke Thermal Imager | A thermal Camera. Very Expensive. |  |
| Solder Sucker | For sucking solder. |  |
