  1. you mentioned in the beginning that you were in Spain, Im willing to move to Spain also, just wondering why you moved back to USA mate? I loved your toolset

  2. Minor advice for people living on coastal areas:
    The high humidity and salinity neutralizes MOST (but not all) of the Static Buildup.

  3. Where the weras come in super handy and you may or may not have mentioned this, but some holes are very recessed and a screwdriver with bits cannot reach in there. My Ifixit screwdriver set really struggles here, having a small dedicated fixed phllips is a must have.

  4. i am not a super pro by no means, but i’ll say this – TS 101 for solderibg iron is a game changer. instead of that bulky thingy you have super light super small thingy

  5. I need something to limite the voltage l have selr made limiters that turn the extra to heat but well if l want 12v to 7v or lower the alunium will heta up a lot l use less conductive metals for lower voltage 7v and lower can be done with pairing and fine tuning with batteries l also need multipliers l have some but idk how to use them
