Stuff I use to build cables and stuff. Some of these items you might be able to find cheaper, but for convenience, I've linked to Amazon.

• Soldering Iron
  • inexpensive choice: Stahl Tools SSVT Variable Temperature Soldering Station
  • Expensive choice: Weller WESD51 Digital Soldering Station
• 0.32 Solder
• Solder Flux. I got mine a Radio Shack
• Head Magnifier
• Wire stripper that will strip down to 26 AWG

• Small flat head screw driver
• sharp scissors
• various sizes of heat shrink, both 2:1 and 3:1 adhesive
