A solder suction pump. No matter how

refined your soldering skills are, you will

make mistakes. So when you’ll inevitably

need to de-solder components, you will

also need to remove any remaining solder

from the solder pads in order to insert new

components.

Once you have finished soldering your

PCB, it’s recommended to remove

excess flux from the solder joints. A PCB

cleaner is the best way to go.

All of these tools can be found on major electronic components retailer websites, like

Mouser, Farnell and at your local electronics shops. As you work your way towards

more and more advanced projects, you’ll need to expand your skillset and your tool belt

– but the gratification will be much greater.

“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're

curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”
