- A variety of suitable tips
- Hot Air gun
- Solder sucker
- Cutting mat (for cutting, not soldering)
- Heat-proof soldering mat (for soldering, not cutting)
- Side cutters
- Wire strippers
- Anti-static tweezers
- Vaccuum pick-up tool
- Helping hands
- Magnifying lamps
- Fan or Fume extractor
- Additionally shared between them we should have:
- Reflow oven

- Video microscope
- Solder paste dispenser
- Hot glue gun
- A large whiteboard
Test Equipment
- Digital Oscilloscope
- Analogue Oscilloscope
- Logic analyser (Maybe a few of the knockoff USB ones?)
- Not-Fluke multimeters
- Capacitance Meter (Might be included in the multimeter?)
- DC Electronic Load
- Small bench power supplies (100w)
- Big bench power supply
- Signal/Function generator
- Plenty of hookup leads
Consumables
- Solder, Leaded in various sizes
- Solder paste (?)
- Wire
- Hookup/breadboard wire in lots of pretty colours
- Multi-core in various gauges

- Small and medium sized breadboards
- Flux and other cleaners (isopropyl?)
Components
Need to keep these stocked up and replenished regularly
Training
We should offer some! Possible subjects...
- Workshop introduction (How not to break everything)
- Basic soldering
- Advanced soldering (SMD, hot air, reflow etc.)
- Basic/Advanced electronics
- Arduino/Microcontroller programming
