Tool NameDescriptionImage
A.C. ClampmeterThis instrument can be clamped over a wire to measure the current flowing through it.
AC/DC Current ClampA current clamp is a device that measures electric current flowing through a wire, cable, busbar, or other conductor.
Analog Discovery 2A USB oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and multi-function instrument that allows users to measure, visualize, generate, record, and control mixed-signal circuits of all kinds.
Arduino UnoArduino 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.
BTMN BoardARM 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.
Basys 3 FPGA BoardFPGA training board used in ENGE220. Has a bank of switches, buttons, LCD display, 7-Segment display, piezo buzzer, stepper motor driver, and more!
Battery ChargerThis is a battery charger for lead acid batteries.
Battery Terminal CleanerA wire brush designed to remove corrosion and contaminants from the terminals of a car battery.
Bolt CuttersPowerful cutting tool to cut through thick metal pieces.
Bottle JackThis is a hydraulic jack and can be used for lifting heavy objects. Never put anything under heavy objects that you wouldn't want crushed.
Bubble LevelA bubble level has many uses including, but not limited to verify plumb and level. Some of the many uses include picture and sign hanging, post installation, machine leveling.
Caulking GunA tool which holds tubes of caulk and is used to seal up cracks and gaps in various structures.
ClippersAlso known as diagonal cutters.
Cordless 1/2" Impact Driver and socketsThe 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.
Cordless 3/8" Impact and Bit SetThe 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.
Cordless DrillYou can use a cordless drill driver to drill or bore holes, drive screws, assemble furniture, and woodworking.
Cordless Reciprocating Saw 20Va handheld power saw that features a blade designed to be easily swapped out for different tasks and moves back and forth to quickly cut through a variety of materials.
CrimpersFor crimping things.
Digilent Nexys 2A powerful digital system design platform built around a Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGA.
Digital CalipersInstrument used to gain a precise measurement of a material or structure.
Digital Logic ProbesProbes that can be used with...
Digital TachometerThis 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.
DremelHand powered tool with different tips, that is mostly used for craft purposes, such as carving, etching and sanding small items.
Electronic ScaleDevice to measure weight or mass.
Eye LoupesSmall magnifying glasses.
Fluke Thermal ImagerA thermal Camera. Very Expensive.
FluxFor soldering.
Flux BrushFor soldering.
Flux PenFor soldering.
Fume ExtractorA device which uses a fan to collect and filter harmful fumes. Always use one of these when soldering for your protection.
GoPro CameraFor Going Pro. Takes Video and Pictures. Can be used with the GoPro Accessories in the GoPro accessory kit.
Handheld MultimeterAn 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.
Heat GunA power tool that emits a stream of hot air, usually at temperatures between 100 °C and 550 °C (200-1000 °F), with some hotter models running around 760 °C (1400 °F), which can be held by hand
Heat Sink ClipHeat sink clip for soldering.
Helium Balloon InflatorThis is connected to a helium bottle and allows the user to fill a helium balloon.
Helping HandsAn extra set of hands to hold things while soldering.
Holesaw KitA holesaw is used in a drill to cut perfectly round holes in a wide variety of materials
Impact Driver KitAn impact driver is a tool that is used to drive screws and bolts. It is designed to deliver high torque output with minimal exertion by the user. Impact drivers are ideal for driving large screws and bolts more efficiently than the average compact drill. This set includes various bits that will fit into an impact driver.
LED WorklightA really bright light for illuminating an area.
Laser ThermometersHandheld 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.
Logic AnalyzerUsed to monitor and debug various digital signals and communication busses.
MirrorAn extendable mirror for viewing hard-to-see places.
MultimeterA 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.
Needle Nose PliersSkinny pliers.
PCB TweezersTweezers for PCBs.
Phone Gimbel SetA tool used to stabilize a phone so that it can be rotated around an axis
Pipe CuttersA tool used to cut pipe.
Portable ViseA vice grip for holding things.
Pressure GaugesFor measuring pressure.
Pressure RegulatorThis is for reducing the air pressure of a compressed air bottle.
