FPV Builder's Tool Kit — What's Actually on My Bench

RISC-V processor, USB-C PD power, reaches working temp in 6 seconds. Better than irons costing 4× more. Best value purchase for any builder.

The professional bench standard. Analog feel with precise digital temp control. If you solder daily, get this. If occasionally, get the Pinecil.

AC direct dual-port charger, 1S–6S, displays cell IR. The only LiPo charger worth owning. We have two on our build bench.

Auto-ranging, True RMS, CAT III 600V rated. Use it to trace shorts, verify voltage rails, and check motor continuity before first spinup.

In-line power limiter — cuts current if there's a short. Saved us from a fried ESC at least twice. Wire between battery and build on first powerup.

No-clean rosin flux for motor wires to ESC pads. Makes soldering thick gauge wire dramatically easier. Tiny bottle lasts a long time.

3:1 dual-wall shrink tubing in multiple diameters. Use on battery leads, motor wires, and XT60 connectors. Massive kit, buy once.

Always charge LiPos in these. Always store LiPos in these. A thermal event in a 6S pack will burn your house down. This is not optional.

Compact 60W balance charger for 1S–6S. Good secondary charger or portable field option. Requires 12V DC input (car adapter or bench PSU).
