Hmmm... well what's yer budget? :devil:
GREAT question! :thumbsup: While there are threads on each ONE of these tools, I don't recall seeing a "modders toolkit" thread like you posted! Cool!
While each person's uses and modding requirements are different, I'd say most of 'em have some or most of the following:
-Soldering station
-Rotary tool
-Third/helping hands
-Small plier/cutters/strippers set
-Digital caliper
-Digital multimeter
Stuff that you might not need right away, but will eventually want:
-Lux meter
-Power supply
Hmm.. :thinking: that's all I can think of for the basic stuff. Obviously stuff like solder and wire, and parts (LED's, converters, reflectors, etc.) are necessary too, but I was concentrating on tools.
I left brands outta it, as you can go the eBay route and spend as little as you want, or go the "Only the best tools" route and go broke! To give you a hint about which group I belong to, I'm writing this from my
van down by the river. :laughing: (Sorry, couldn't help myself!)
Good luck, and happy modding!
