If you are away from your workbench either in your backyard or perhaps 100's km away and you need to repair or modify your project or prototype what would be the essential tools and components needed?
I am taking some inspiration from these low cost 100-in-1 solder tool kits:
Here is my Second Draft Attempt:
| Tools | Consumables | Components | Electronics Jellybeans Tin | |||
| Portable soldering iron | Solder (Your choice leaded) | USB Wall Wart | spdt switch | |||
| Solder sucker | Solder braid | USB Power Bank | banana jack | |||
| Multimeter | Heat shrink | USB A - micro cable | banana plug | |||
| Ruler | Hot glue stick | USB C - C cable | 1n4007 x4 | |||
| Wire strippers (your-choice) | Zip-ties | 100 thou headers | 1N4148 | |||
| Side cutters | Tape (your-choice) | Dupont jumpers | 2n3904/2n3906 | |||
| Pliers | Flux | A piece of perf board | Power N-FET | |||
| Tweezers | Bismuth Solder | A piece of copper clad board | Axial Resistors 100,1k,10K,100K Qty 10 each | |||
| Telescoping Magnet | Flux | A piece of 1.5 mm plywood | Some leaded LEDs | |||
| Knife (not sure what kind) | Cyanoacrylate Glue | Hookup wire (24AWG stranded likely) | 7805 | |||
| Bic lighter | Heat Sink Sil-Pad | 10 cm of cat-x network cable | LM317 and potentiometer | |||
| Miniature screw driver set (the interchange bits) | small spool of 30AWG Kynar wire | A few electrolytic capacitors | ||||
| Alligator clip leads | Copper Tape | Tin of Electronics Jellybeans | LM324 or LM358 | |||
| Soldering Iron Stand | Polydoh | RPI Pico | 0805 SMD Assortment | |||
| Tip Cleaner (your-choice) | Blu-tac | extension cord | ||||
| Sharpie | Stress-relieving candy | power bar | ||||
| Flash Light | Electronics Cleaner | 9V battery | ||||
| Safety Glasses | ESD Bag | 4-40 machine screws | ||||
| Nail Polish | ||||||
| Plastic Prying | ||||||
| Spudger | ||||||
| Scissors | ||||||
| Vise Grips | ||||||
| crescent wrench | ||||||
| Full Size Screw drivers | ||||||
| Helping Hands | ||||||
| Earth Ground Plug | ||||||
| ESD Mat | ||||||
| ESD Wrist Strap | ||||||
I have pretty much all of these items in quantity already. So I can easily appropriate some of them to my emergency maker kit! Like wind the wires listed onto a small bobins, etc
baldengineer is also ahead of me with 0805 smd components suggestion!
I'm trying to not go overboard with handtools but I think I could use some more...
Perhaps there are low cost modules you shouldn't leave home without? lol...
This is definitely a work in progress...
