Every time you buy SX OS, God kills a kitten.

I don't see any other way to get emuNAND, and I'm not willing to restore a clean NAND backup every time I want to go online either. SX OS was the only way I could hack my Switch since emuNAND is a requirement.

That is sweet and all, and I would not say no to adding it to my shelves, but is desoldering gear that useful any more? Ever since everything went surface mount any desoldering is usually to replace a component or maybe harvest a rare capacitor, crystal or socket/connector, all of which can be handled by whatever soldering tool I am using at the time and one of the plunge tube things.

Anyway if we are doing tools today then

Nice little cam locking... I think it is technically a universal vice, or maybe a ball joint vice, but I will be using it for engraving once I put a new vice on it rather than the little spindly thing it has. Will also mean my collection of fun taps and dies will come in handy as that thread is 1/2 inch BSF.

Continuing with the theme of hot air then some bellows in case I am not too lazy and just stick my bouncy castle fan on the forge.

A nice corner brace/joist brace because I don't have one.

Also a lenticular bookmark with some dinosaur skeletons on because who wouldn't?

It's true you won't need it often, but I've found it particularly useful for clearing vias connected to large pads(such as ground planes) since solder tends to stick to them stubbornly. As for SMD, they are pretty nice for clearing pads of solder and reducing the amount of solder wick needed. If nothing else, the station also doubles as a regular solder station, and is a lot better than the one I had. :)

That appears to be essentially what this is. Picture below looks like it's a soldering iron with built in desoldering pump. Of course you can get by with a regular soldering iron and desoldering pump, this just makes it a bit easier and quicker.

A hot air station would be far more useful.

Bought some wood to make a stand for a terrarium. Bought 8 feet of thg 4" heat tape to use on the stand fo some shelves.

I found my old 120GB ipod classic so I bought a charging/sync cable for it.
