Hey everyone! I'm diving into the world of electronics and looking to tackle simple repairs around the house — you know, everyday devices that could use fixing. While I've got a bit of knowledge, my toolbox is quite empty. I'm seeking your advice on essential tools a beginner should have without breaking the bank. I'm also interested in any affordable starter kits or reliable brands you recommend. Plus, any safety tips or common pitfalls to avoid as I learn would be super helpful! I'd love to hear what helped you when you were starting out. Thanks a ton!

A multimeter is a must-have! It's key for diagnosing electrical issues and checking things like voltage and resistance. Once you have that, you can tackle many basic repairs.
Don't forget a precision screwdriver set — it's essential for many small electronics. And consider getting nose pliers and a good soldering gun; those have been life-savers for me!
When I started, I found that a decent soldering gun with a base was a game changer. It heats up faster than a standard iron and is much easier to use. Also, having a fume extractor can save you a lot of trouble down the line!
Thank you!
Thank you! Should it be with any particular feature?
