I'm an electronics and ham radio geek. I miss my multimeter and soldering iron, tbh.
Any reccomendations for those? Also the little useful tools - side-snippers/cutters, needlenose pliers etc. Where can I pick those up from?
Soldering Iron--definately go with a Weller
Multimeter--BK and OTC are great. (Fluke is descent too)
You can get the meters at any NAPA (may be special order), Lowes may have different brands and the soldering iron too.
