What equipments are there in soldering?

There is a lot of equipment in Soldering and I am telling you about which I know. Soldering Iron You can’t do soldering without a soldering iron/gun. But you don’t have to buy an expensive soldering iron/gun. You can find soldering irons in less than $10 that would work for most beginners’ needs. Wire Cutter The wire cutter is a very handy little soldering tool. We mostly use it to cut long component legs, or to strip the end of a wire. Wire Cutters is also known as flush-cutters, diagonal cutters, electronic snippers, clippers, etc. Wet Sponge A wet sponge is very useful for cleaning the tip of the soldering iron. The tip is hot which means it will oxidize very fast and get dirty. A clean tip transfers heat faster and makes your soldering easier. A sponge is so cheap anyway, so you should always keep one together with your other soldering tools. Soldering Stand A soldering iron gets hot after performing soldering, so it’s important to place it in a safe way in between soldering. A soldering iron stand is very useful for this. Since it takes up a lot of space, I don’t bring mine when travelling, but I always have one at my desk in Illinois. Safety Glasses A pair of safety glasses is something I really recommend when you do soldering. The consequences of getting hot soldering splashed into your eye can be terrible. So, please use them. Tweezers Tweezers are great. You can use them to keep components in their place and to avoid burning your fingers when you do soldering. If you ever solder surface mount components, these are very useful for placing small components. Solder wick The solder wick is another tool for removing solder. It’s made up of copper threads that will absorb the solder from the solder joint. For example to remove “solder bridges” between pins on a chip or if there’s a bit of solder left on a bigger solder joint.

Why do you think it is best for a soldering iron to have a soldering stand?

Have you ever had a soldering iron roll off the table and land on your wrist, burning a hole that took over a month to heal? I did in 5th grade while building one of the Radio Shack electronics kits I had received for Christmas! Learning from that I made my own soldering stand from a small metal can and poured over a half inch of lead into the bottom from my lead soldier casting set to make sure that the weight of the soldering iron could not tilt the soldering stand!!! I was never going to run the risk of a soldering iron getting away from me again!!!!!

depends on how wet the spunge was because the more water soaked in the sponge the heavier it is and that meaning how fast it will fall
