In this episode of Chris Edwards Restoration, Chris introduces new precision tools from WEPtools.com that are set to revolutionize the soldering experience. The episode showcases the testing of two new soldering units, hot tweezers, and a precision line small-tip soldering tool, all applied to a Commodore Amiga 4000 motherboard.
Additionally, WEPtools.com updates their “fuses” system. The company explains that the red and blue ring combination is a thermocouple designed to measure the soldering iron’s temperature. This accessory is part of the station’s automatic temperature calibration function, which ensures that the soldering iron tip maintains a consistent temperature.
This feature eliminates the need for a professional thermometer. It allows users to keep the tip temperature steady, regardless of the tip’s thermal mass or which tip they switch to.
