I love Collins videos. I'm hoping for many many more. They're great because they are informative with an element of comedy. thanks Collin, You're the best!
One thing that can't be emphasized enough, related to the last point about taking care of your tools, NEVER use your (component lead) cutters to cut anything but component leads or really thin wires. I have seen people trying to chew through a nail with them.
I discovered Collin's videos researching soldering. What an awesome presentation. I just had to share with my friends. Thanks for all these videos. Keep it up.
Hi Collin, I have a request for a video: Could you do one on demystifying the concept of ground? People usually say "well you can't talk about 5V without specifying relative to "what", and that "what" is ground". However, what does than mean for my actual circuits? What about when my circuit requires +--5V, and is battery powered? What if I don't have a metallic case for my circuit to ground to? Cheers J
I don't disagree with him. However, I found that some Hartmann alligator forceps (I have also seen them called ear polypas) are very handy in assembling electronics when you drop a tiny screw in a hard to reach place. There are versions of these that can fit through a 1/4 inch hole and grab something up to 1 foot on the other side. Unlike hemostats, only the end opens like a little alligator mouth. They are every bit as handy for small electronics work in the case as they are for performing surgery in the ear.
+Wankel Motor I don't disagree with you, but they're cheap and better than nothing, so not *completely* useless. Same goes for cheap 10 € soldering irons.
Bart Stikkers Well they are just a frustration. They are unstable because of the narrow base so they are tipping over all the time. The movement of the arms are very restricted, the magnifier is more in the way than helping, the joints are loose and if you try to tighten them a little it is easy to bend the flats that is holding the joints together, the alligator clip rotation locking mechanism is useless and sloppy and easy to break, etc. I would say that a cheap soldering iron is way better value than cheap helping hands tools.
+Wankel Motor From my personal experience, it is not useless. For small boards and other little stuff, it works just fine. For large stuff - yeah, it will fail or better to say it will fall :D
Hello Colin as you see to love making music and arduino. can you recommend any ic's that are not to complicated to get some interesting sounds out of with or without arduino. Thanks to anyone who answers this. Si ... P'S not 555 or 556 ;-)
There needs to be much more of Colin on TH-cam.
I heartily recommend the automatic wire strippers. I've saved so much time using them instead of normal ones. I wish I had known about them earlier.

thanks Collin, You're the best!
Killer tip that, the heat-shrink on the gator clips! Thank you!

If you take care of your tools., theyll take care of you...

He's back again! Yes. I like this.
Colin's Back baby!!
whos the sad individual who thumps down this!!
They're jealous.
Well done. Love the extreme yet suttle humor.
Colin lab,,
Short but very usefull,,
Cover every tools that we need..
Thomas Alexander That's what she said.
This video style is very aesthetically pleasing..!
You mean aesthetically asmr?
1:55 😂 This guy is actually just an electronically savvy comedian, really.

Great work Collin, keep it up, especially the looks! ;D
That was a sweet Ghostbusters II reference! I'm glad I was the only one that completed the lyrics in my head!
Collin cracks me up. I'm on his humor wavelength.
More Colin!
good stuff. I'll need to show this to my class. please consider something on micrometers for my engineering class.
These are great little primers, cool stuff.
Us Cunninghams' do love our Tools.

The standard type of "helping hand" tool is pretty useless. Best to just buy the lock line type first as they are a thousand times better.

That's certainly true.

I bought a very small clamp on vise on the hardware store and it has been much better than the crappy helping hand. Now I use it only for wires
Huh. So this is what Alton Brown would look/sound like if he went the electrical engineer route
Or chucky from rugrats
You r Master of Electronic I like your channel Sir
I found that electrical tape is also essential. Not as much but there are sometimes you just need to hold something with tape.
***** That is better. Either way I recommend it and always have some near me.
Mr Personality. keep up the good work
Always up-vote Collin!
Love Collin's videos...
Channeling your inner Bobby Brown, I see. Thanks for the video; it's very helpful!
Thanks Collin!
Love that Panavise stuff.
I enjoyed this video. I thought I knew all this, but sometimes it's good to go back to basics I guess! :D
Wow I love these tools Doctor
Ha ha 😂 good line "if you take care of your tools, they will take care of you" ....👍
Collin is awesome
Where have you been?
Great video BTW was missing your videos.
Woah the sleeves came UP!
Yay! Awesome to see you're back! :D
I almost thought that was punintentional... almost...
Happy New Year!
Yeeeah the return of One pun man!! love it!
Too hot to handle. Too cold to hold
Yeah Collins!
finaly new vid thanks
:( didn't go over the depth tool on the caliper.
I love Collin!!!
i wish i had steady hands to do such a job, shaking makes fine movement really hard

This man is my idol
strangely relaxing video ;-)
Thanks dude. Happy New year.
;-+
I Love Tool's,
I gotta get a better wire stripper. The one I have now used to belong to my dad, & I think it's older than me.
Collin, in his transition to beardedness.
Yay, Collin!
Gotta love the intro (still retro) music !
Absolutely with you. I get a positive Pavlovian response every time I hear it play :)
It's his magnum opus
Love the ending
Keep em' comin'
Every person who thinks he is cool should look at Collin, he is the definition on coolness!
Nexov Nexov ikr! He's amazing
Collin
Collin rocks
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold. Theyre called the Ghostbusters and they're in control.....
forgot screwdriver and bits
Master!
Enter the Collin : )
hi master you are looking cool in this vedio
Something different with collin
+Fauzan Lubis He's not clean-shaven. I think it's a better look for him.
Digging the facial hair Collin.
Muy bueno gracias :)
He's hilarious!!!
Too hot to handle. Too cold to hold. Grab a pair of pliers, and you’re in control. Collin be bustin some fat lines. When you gunna drop that track?
4:37 🤣🤣
wire strippers
too hot to handle😂😂
