  • Our Microsoldering Equipment

Our Microsoldering Equipment

This is all of the microsoldering equipment that we use in all of our Youtube videos and work that we do. We like to tinker with new tools, so this list will be updated as we get new tools.

Must Haves:

AmScope SM-4TPX Microscope

by AmScope
Personal Note: This scope has all of the necessities including a simul-focal head for recording video.  Only thing it’s missing is the florescent light ring.
Price: $585.99

JBC NASE-1C Nano Soldering Station

by JBC
Personal Note: Best microsoldering station that one can buy. I switched to this JBC unit from the Hakko. The tips are alignable and the micro-pencil actually heats well. I don’t use any Hakko soldering products anymore because the JBC stuff is THAT much better.
Price: $1,404.00

Quick 861DW Hot Air Rework Station

by Quick
Personal Note: Best hot air rework station that I’ve owned.
Price: $278.99

Quick 957DW Hot Air Rework Station

by -
Personal Note: I use this hot air rework station mainly for logic board shield removal. I don’t use a tip and blast it with 450C and the shields come right off.
Price: $109.99

UNI-T UT139C Digital Multimeter

by -
Personal Note: This is a great little multimeter. It has continuity mode, diode mode, voltage mode, capacitance mode and a thermocouple. Just about everything that you’ll need for microsoldering.
Price: -

Micro Multimeter Probes

by TKDMR
Personal Note: I file these down a little, so that I can reach the 01005 components with ease.
Price: $9.99

ZXW Tools Dongle

by -
Personal Note: Besides schematics, this is the essential software that you’ll need for iphone and ipad logic board repair.
Price: $89.99

AmScope Florescent Light Ring

by AmScope
Personal Note: You’ll need a light ring for the scope above.
Price: $26.99

JBC C105-101 catridge

by -
Personal Note: This 0.1mm tip will be for your nano pencil. This tip will allow you to get into the tightest of places.
Price: $33.62

JBC C105-105 catridge

by -
Personal Note: Best tip for the nano-pencil. I use this tip for just about everything.
Price: $33.62

Hakko Panavise

by Hakko
Personal Note: I find this essential for shield removal.
Price: $64.99

FindX Logic Board Holder

by HeroNeo®
Personal Note: Heavyweight PCB holder. It doesn’t slip because the lock is a push button lock and not a screw like the cheap ones. This logic board holder is my favorite. Pricey, but worth it, when you’re using it every day.
Price: $47.99

DROK USB 2.0 Digital Ammeter

by DROK
Personal Note: Essential for testing. Much better than the Portapow because it stays lit. You’ll want several of these.
Price: $9.99


Hakko CHP 5B-SA Microtweezers

by Hakko
Personal Note: You’ll want two of these. My only gripe is that the tips aren’t longer.
Price: $9.99

Hakko CHP 5-SA Microtweezers

by Hakko
Personal Note: Thinnest, cheapest, best straight tweezers that I own.
Price: $9.99

Kimtech Lint-free Wipes

by Kimberly-Clark Professional
Personal Note: Definitely better than tissue.
Price: -


Hakko Micro Wire Cutter

by Hakko
Personal Note: I use this to cut my solder wick.
Price: $5.12

Amtech NC-559-TF Flux

by Amtech
Personal Note: The gold standard for microsoldering flux.  Don’t bother with anything else.  Trust me, I’ve already tested many and they result in warranty repairs.
Price: $14.99


Amtech VS-213-A-TF Flux

by Amtech
Personal Note: This is Amtech’s updated flux, which is more viscous, doesn’t brown as fast and much easier to clean.
Price: $14.99

Mechanic Low Melt Solder Paste

by ChipQuik
Personal Note: One small container of this will last you a long time. This is the best stuff to get components off without melting stuff around it.
Price: $9.99

Mechanic Sn63/Pb37 Solder Paste

by VIPFIX
Personal Note: We use this stuff for all of our reballing.
Price: $9.99

Kester 44 Rosin Core Solder 0.031″

by Kester
Personal Note: This solder does the job for me.
Price: $24.88

Easy Braid No Clean 0.025″ Solder Wick

by -
Personal Note: You want to make sure that you get 0.025″ solder wick because anything bigger sucks.  Also, no clean will keep the brown goo to a minimum.  One roll of this stuff will last a while.
Price: $8.99

0.02mm Jumper Wire

by VIPFIX
Personal Note: This is the thinnest, smaller jumper wire that you’ll find on the market.
Price: $9.99

3/4″ Kapton Tape

by Tapes Master

Price: $12.95

iPhone 6/6S BGA Reball Stencil

by iPartsBuy
Personal Note: This stencil will have most chips that you’ll want to reball. This is the stencil that I use.
Price: $4.99


High Quality iPhone 7 Plus BGA Stencil

by VIPFIX
Personal Note: This is the only stuff that we use for all of our microsoldering.
Price: $4.99

UV Curable Solder Mask 10ml

by Balance World Inc
Personal Note: This is the green stuff that everyone uses to cover exposed ground pads or hold jumper wires in place. You’ll need some UV light to cure this stuff and make it hard.
Price: $6.99

High Powered USB UV Curing Light

by ESCO LITE
Personal Note: This UV light cures solder mask in seconds. After using this, you won’t want to use anything else.
Price: $21.99

Clean Screen Wipes

by ProCase
Personal Note: I use these all the time to clean the iPhone screens!
Price: $8.99


Optional Equipment:

Kester 63/37 Tin/Lead Solder (0.031″)

Kester 44 Rosin Core Solder 0.015″

by Kester
Personal Note: Too small for my taste.
Price: $37.95


iFixit Tweezers

by -
Personal Note: I like these tweezers, although they are a little bulkier than the Hakko 5B-SAs.
Price: -


Solder Dispenser

by Hakko
Personal Note: If you’re getting the 1lbs roll, then you’ll want one of these too.
Price: $15.59

Price: $42.99

by Tekpower
Personal Note: Any 5A DC power supply will work. I have this one.
Price: $56.99

iPhone 4/4S/5/5C/5S/SE/ 6/6 /6S/6S /7/7 /8/8 /X/XR/XS/XS Max DC Power Supply Battery Cable

by DIYPHONE

Add another star for Mike. He"ll forget more about logic boards then most techs will ever learn. Not all phones can be repaired but you can send your phones to them and know you've put it in the best hands for your repair. We do !

Excellent service! They fixed the touch IC issue with my iPhone 6+ quickly and efficiently with no hassle at all. They were responsive via email and accommodated a quicker turnaround time. Very professional and of course most importantly my phone is fixed and returned to me with no issues. Thanks!

Total scam artists. DO NOT buy anything from this place. I bought a $300 hot air station form these guys and after only 2 days it started giving me problems. They told me to send it back and they will give me a refund, so i did and nothing! Now they have the product and my money and are refusing to refund me! BUY ANYWHERE ELSE! There are tons of places online that sell and repair that wont scam you, you've been warned!

Fantastic service, including responsiveness and quality of work! Saved from buying a new computer after I accidentally damaged the display connection point on my iMac. They were able to fix it for $135, which was well worth it since the other option was throwing the computer in the trash!

Fantastic professionals who brought my phone back to life (stopped taking a charge and they replaced the battery) and enabled me to get all my data off my phone (had no backups in icloud). 4 Apple techs and 3 Apple geniuses could not figure out a resolution aside from offering a referral to a data recovery company that starts at around $2000.00 and the cost of a new phone. My phone came back to me packaged very well and turned on immediately out of the box. NO data was lost. I confidently would use microsoldering again for any iphone issues. They offer return shipping within the fee with an option to insure your phone and get a signature authorization add on for an extremely minimal cost. Highly recommend!read more
