this weeks postbox is a mixed bag there are a few nice items .
Item 1
The first item is 5 CR2032 batteries to go with the a set of battery holders that I ordered they just haven't shown up yet I have used one of the batteries to test so leds .
Item 2
the second is a mini Arduino board the main idea I have for this at the moment is to make and run a small light and sound circuit I am working on with a few different modes that can be switched between check back at a later date for that project.
Item 3
The third item is a small surface mount practice board for me to practice surface mounting components I mainly have this to try a heat gun method that I have been shown I will update with my progress.
Item 4
the fourth item today is a set of small wire cutters they work really well on component leads and small wires that can be tricky to cut with bigger wire cutters I will give full review of the in a future Toolbox Thursday.
Item 5
now on to the next item that is a carbon filter for the solder fume exactor project I got them to help with removing harmful fumes.
Item 6
the sixth item is a small box of flux that I picked up because I was getting low on flux and it was cheap I haven't used it yet but I'm sure it will do the job.
Item 7
the next item on the list is a step down circuit that is rated from 3- 40volts input and 1-35volts output the main reason I got this was to reduce a 19volt power supply I have down to 9volts so it can safely run a radio I have.
Item 8
the eighth Item is a USB powered soldering iron that is going to shown in more detail in tomorrows Toolbox Thursday so check back to see a review .
Item 9
The last item is a set of anti-static tweezers I they are made of plastic for seem to work really well I picked up a few surface mount components and removed some small ribbon connectors inside an phone that I repaired for a friend so very pleased to add these to my ever growing tweezer collection .
