+1 for the Nanuk cases, love my 923!
+1 for the Cordless Dremel. I’ve used both corded and cordless, and I love them. so much easier to use, when you don’t have to be tethered to the wall.
Ultrasonic Cleaner - This one just happens to be on sale, but most in the $40-100 price range will do just fine for keycaps & switches.I purchased a different even cheaper looking one for $40 and it’s done me fine
Thanks for pointing out the ultrasonic cleaners - I’ve been meaning to pick one up for like a year now and I just kept forgetting about it. I’ve got a yardsale-find one somewhere… but it is both tiny and crusty.
Question: Is this something I could use to clean some housings that got thoroughly coffee’d? I know there are metals that can oxidize making up the leaves / contacts - so would I want to use something other than water?
Warning denture tabs, may result in smelly switches. I used some once to clean a water bottle, per what I had read on some bike forums… never again. Ended up throwing out a $20 water bottle, because it retained the nasty want to be mint smell and taste.
So so true on both quotes! I got a DataVac about 3 months after building my gaming PC like 6 yrs back. Wasting stupid amounts of money on canned air (even buying bulk cases!) is what made me grab one too LOL! So glad I did though, not only has it served it original purpose of dusting my PC, it makes a great dusting tool for KBS too! Love those things!
There are mixed reviews on the WOWSTICK but how can you resist a name like Wowstick?
I’ve used it before and personally the torque is a bit low for my preference, but it’ll work if you have a lot of screws to do. That’ll be some Wowstick screwing action alright.
Inexpensive set of ESD-Tweezers A must have for keyboard fiddling if you don’t already have a set. If you work a lot with SMD components, I’d recommend spending more for a nicer set.
