Electronic Tool
Next to their education, an electrician’s most important resource is their tools. Electronic tools vary from something as simple as a small screwdriver, to something as complex as a digitized handheld oscilloscope. However complex their tools are, electricians, teachers, and students will always need an economical and reliable way to acquire them.

Soldering Tool
Soldering tools and soldering irons come in different sizes with different power ratings. The power rating is generally in watts and implies the amount of heat the item can produce. Some soldering tools use butane to produce the heat instead of electricity. These butane fueled soldering torches provide a portable solution for your soldering needs.

Handheld Oscilloscope
An oscilloscope is used to show what is happening to a voltage as time passes. For example, in your house, you have outlets to a 110 Volt sine wave. What that means is the voltage is swinging from a positive value (about 130 Volts because the 110 is a RMS value) to a negative value. Consequently, a time dependent picture of this voltage would look like a sine wave. I should note, most oscilloscopes aren’t built to tolerate such large voltages, but this is a useful example because most people have wall outlets.

PC Oscilloscope
A PC oscilloscope is an economical solution to anyone’s scope needs. A PC oscilloscope uses a little external hardware, the computer monitor, and software of some sort. For a digital PC oscilloscope, the external hardware must include an analog to digital converter (ADC) and a voltage divider. Luckily PC oscilloscope manufactures include everything you need to implement this economical version of the oscilloscope.

Electronic Tool Kit
“Electronic tool kit” is a very broad term, for there are so many branches of electronics and the term does not address the user’s experience. Sure, a beginning student may need to purchase an electronic tool kit, but that isn’t the same kit that a 25 year veteran who works in an analog systems design lab might use. The truth is, it is difficult to find a store where you can purchase both advanced and beginner electronics tool kits.

CCFL
Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lights (CCFLs) are a type of light that feature low power consumption and longer lasting brightness. They are ideal for situations where you only have a low voltage supply (suppose a 12V battery), or you need to provide continuous light for a long time. Do you want to create a CCFL system? If so, you have come to the right place.
