When it comes to wire cutters, screwdrivers, and other electonics tools, the only tool for me is made by Xcelite

Weller soldering irons are top on my list for must have tools.. i'd be up a creek if I didn't have my Weller Port-A-Sol iron.

Weller and Xcelite tools are both owned by Cooper Tools, if thats of any help.

I didn't know Tektronix made hand tools.. but their waveform monitors, scopes, and spectrum analyzers can't be beat.. not to mention i've still running one of their old dye-sub printers.

For handheld meters, I really like Fluke.

Not really a list of mechanic tools, but quality tools, none the less.


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
