Special shoutout to the repair site iFixit who are now on the Fediverse, you can follow them at:
They provide repair forums and free repair guides for phones, computers, consoles, kitchen equipment, tools, medical devices, cars etc. They also review and tear down new gadgets to see how repairable they are.
Repairing your existing stuff is much, much better for the environment than buying replacements.

Can anyone give me any recommendations for a new #soldering iron/station? I like the idea of one like BigClive has with the hot air gun so you can do shrink wrap as well, but not essential. No doubt my old crappy missing iron will turn up as soon as I get a new one! #electronics #repairs
