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.

Mirror	An extendable mirror for viewing hard-to-see places.
Type K Thermometer	A thermocouple for measuring temperatures between -50C and 1300C.
BTMN Board	ARM training board used in ENGE320. Coupled with the Arduino Zero. Shield includes an AMOLED display, joystick, DPAD, RGB LED's, accelerometer, SD Card slot, and a piezo buzzer.
Multimeter	A multimeter is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. A typical multimeter can measure voltage, resistance, and current, in which case can be used as a voltmeter, ammeter, and ohmmeter. Some feature the measurement of additional properties such as temperature and capacitance.
Flux Pen	For soldering.
LED Worklight	A really bright light for illuminating an area.
Digital Tachometer	This is an instrument that is used to measure revolutions per minute or RPM. This is a non contact device that uses light and a reflector. This device can be used to measure the RPM of a motor shaft.
GoPro Camera	For Going Pro. Takes Video and Pictures. Can be used with the GoPro Accessories in the GoPro accessory kit.
Torque Wrench	A torque wrench is a tool used to apply a specific torque to a fastener such as a nut, bolt, or lag screw.
Logic Analyzer	Used to monitor and debug various digital signals and communication busses.
Arduino Uno	Arduino Uno is an open-source microcontroller board based on the Microchip ATmega328P microcontroller. It is a Single circuit board that can be programmed and comprises of 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header and a reset button.
Helium Balloon Inflator	This is connected to a helium bottle and allows the user to fill a helium balloon.
Digilent Nexys 2	A powerful digital system design platform built around a Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGA.
Battery Terminal Cleaner	A wire brush designed to remove corrosion and contaminants from the terminals of a car battery.
Socket Wrench Set	A socket wrench is a type of spanner that uses a closed socket format, rather than a typical open wrench/spanner to turn a fastener, typically in the form of a nut or bolt. This set comes with an assortment of socket sizes.
Pressure Gauges	For measuring pressure.
Laser Thermometers	Handheld device that can display temperature readout on it after scanning portions of an object or area with the built-in laser. They tend to be inaccurate when measuring shiny objects, putting some non-reflective tape on the object can help give a better measurement.
Flux	For soldering.
Cordless 3/8" Impact and Bit Set	The impact Driver is specially designed for tightening and loosening various hex-head bolts, nuts, and lag screws. It employs both rotational force (torque) and short-burst concussive blows (impacts) to deliver an unparalleled amount of power.
Electronic Scale	Device to measure weight or mass.
Handheld Multimeter	An instrument for conducting measurements on a circuit. They can measure DC voltage, AC RMS Voltage, current, resistance, and more. Multimeters are essential tools for testing or troubleshooting a circuit.
