I already work in computer repair and am learning micro soldering after our previous microsoldering guy left. It helps to find some cheapo stuff for a home kit to practice with and your videos have helped immensely already.
Congratulations Alyzire, you were selected randomly as the winner. Could you get in touch via email at hello@consolefix.co.uk or contact me on my discord server so I can arrange for everything to be sent to you :)
Hey everyone... Good luck to you all. Thank you all for being very supportive over the past few months, it's really been a roller coaster and I genuinely appreciate it
i really wanted to enter the giveaway but considering that i already have a cheap soldering station same as vince i dont really think that that coul be more useful to me than another person that might not be able to afford them. the only thing am interested in is the microscope really and i would not sayno to the flux twezer etc. but not the iron and hot air. if Philip happens to read my comment can you pls answer me if something can be done for my instance? if not i would not want to enter the giveaway for the only reason that someone may need the iron and hot air more than me as i have a soldering station and a uni.t multymeter.
Hey mate be great to hear how you learnt your craft and some general tips and tricks for various devices , perhaps a short video , think community would appreciate
@@TheCod3r yea i just can not find a reason to get non consumable tools that i already have most when they cost 150 pounds or so when am only interested in the miroscope that one pare of microscope glasses costs 10 eu from aliexpress and i also have a phone with a generally good camera. i dont consider that fair
Absolutely true that you don't need a lot of money. I started in 2014 restoring vacuum tube testers with a $40 iron, a meter, and pliers. The best thing you can have besides money is the will to learn and the fundamental understandings of electrons and Ohms-Law.
Look at all these comments! Look how well your channel has grown! Once again, great work! I’ve been there with the claiming of job seekers, I’m now living comfortably after working hard. Keep it up!
Man, i was in IT (outsourcing and small computer repair shop) for 14+ years when i started to feel bored to do ONLY swapping faulty shit. So i went into microsoldering probably a year ago, and i'm enjoying every little basic thing (for example jumping backlit fuse, or finding shorted cap)! Definitely saved my path in IT as i got really bored with doing the same shit every day. Not get me wrong, i was happy with money, i have a lot of loyal customers, etc. But it started to be really boring. This helped me a lot. KUDOS
Great little Cheapo set to get one lucky person up and running. Thanks for the opportunity mate I've learned alot from your channel and that itself is very much appreciated keep it up bud!
Hey everyone! Nicc from The Anti Social Expierience has very graciously donated 3 extra items towards the budgdt setup giveaway. That guy's kindness knows no bounds!

Olá bom dia ou boa tarde, moro no Brasil e assisto sempre que possível seus vídeos, também sou técnico, mas hoje trabalho como professor, mas sempre que posso ainda faço alguns consertos, adoro trabalhar com eletrônica.
Your videos have really helped me get started on my little repair buisness started i love cheapo as it cost alot to get all the stuff i will need thanks buddy
"cheapo" It's way to try. Looking at your videos and my mate vince videos I wish I could try something like that. It's wonderful to bring something back to life.
I don't know if I would use the word cheapo. I do enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot from watching them. Enough that I have successfully replaced the p13usb chip on 2 Nintendo switches that I purchased for$40 US dollars each and they are both functioning perfectly. So thank you.
Amazing “CHEAPO” lot of goodies! Just starting out my micro soldering journey after spiralling down the rabbit hole of restoration videos from you and Tronic haha. Great stuff, thank you for the education!
I think this is a great 'Cheapo' setup and the fact that you are doing a giveaway as well is simply awesome, Thank you and keep these great videos coming...
i cant understand that you have "only 42700", you are one of my favourit Solders and repair workshop. You work ist nice to look too, epxplain everthing what are you doing, i like it very well, go your way you will be a big youtuber , greets from Germany
Most of this cheapo setup is better than what I use. My work is getting better day by day from watching videos by you and others from the repair community though, so I am slowly upgrading as I go along.
its very genrous of you to give back to us who cannot afford these goodies n the gear maybe cheapo but it looks awsome,happy to enter the give away please
CHEAPO YOUR CONTENT HAS MADE ME ENJOY FIXING FAULTY ELECTRONICS I JUST STARTED OUT BUT IM GETTING THERE BIT BY BIT LIKE YOUR CONTENT KEEP IT UP MATE LEARNT LOADS FROM YOUR CHANNEL
Looks nice, I would definitely give it a try with the cheapo tools, would recommend starters to have a fan of airfilter so you dont breathe in all the solderingfumes
Cheapo ,Hi been watching your videos little while now and I'm amazed at your determination to fix an item and the consintraion on your face and your a very down to earth lad keep up the fantastic educational videos
I have a soldering/smd station since april and having a absolute blast with it is the Aoyue 968A+ maybe not the cheapest cheapest but one i can recommend for sure!
im using the T12 for years, very very happy with it and has enough power to do all of the jobs, great piece of kit to have and the tips are very good quality for the cheap price they are.
Hello Phil great video showing basic products what can do repairs.gutted I didn't see this sooner to entre the give away.but I hope the lucky winner is very happy to receive these products.
That's so cool you did that showing us you don't need to spend a lot of money to get started honestly i thought it would take up more space then it did.
What helps me in the learning to repair studies is finding tossed out or curbside electronics for solder, hot air, and other hands-on experience. Not doing it for a living (I work full time at a gym equipment warehouse) but for a good rewarding hobby. Found a Dell Vista PC to-day. Thanks for the tips & good selection! I like the desktop microscope!
I sit quietly in the background and consume your uploads when ever I can. So I'll try and grab your give away by using the word "cheapo" Keep the videos coming :)
Learning the basics by using cheapo equipment is a great way to start out and then when you get more proficient you'll have a better appreciation when using more expensive items. Keep up the good work, Phil.
Great channel yeah I started abt 2 years ago moding PlayStation and xbox and controlers then as I got more confident I started trying to fix anything but I've fixed a few PlayStation and xboxs now I started with cheap stuff but when I made money off things I fixed I bought better gear .I leart alot from youtubeers like your self and my mate vince
Just starting out in electronics repairs, hobby, repairs for family and friends maybe I might get good enough to take it up as a profession. Nothing wrong with "CHEAPO". Love the channel always a good view
Code word cheapo I have just been made redundant as a computer engineer and I’m taking some time to improve my micro soldering. I have been looking for cheaper equipment so this video has given me the confidence that the cheaper equipment is ok to start with and then upgrade as I get more experience. Even if I don’t win the give away I will be looking at the equipment you used.
You're a legend and very kind hearted to do a giveaway like this! Might be "Cheapo" but this could start some else onto better things just like you have done 👍
I am really glad to have found your channel recently. I am a cheapo and always thought getting into surface mount work I would have to spend a lot on equipment.
Nice little setup, the benefit of going into microsoldering repairs too. Is that you can buy fancy equipment for cheap because it's broken and potentially repair it too. I've learned to buy the better equipment now to save money in long run. Buying a Hakko soldering station next Chinese ones are OK, but much prefer the better stuff. Starting to look more into this kind of stuff because I get bored of working for employers
Phil, the microscope image is greatly improved if you turn the lights down or even off.. As I do. The light wheel is on the right-hand side of the monitor.
I'm in the US and can pay shipping on top of the CHEAPO goodies! Thanks for your videos. I've learned a lot and it's given me the courage to try more board level repairs! Keep up the good work!
all the stuff you showed works well for the price the bes t is proberly the soldering station (the menue is a bit o a pain) I use a simular one on my second bench .next the hot air station i used one for about 2 years befor upgrading with no problems. i dont know the multi meter but seeing you it seems fine and for that kind of work who needs a fluke. may pay the winner to get some better leads ,but maybe not . i wish the winner well as all in all its a great starter kit.
Budget is tight to the cent, so "cheapo" is the only way to go for a startup and even that is sometimes a bit too expensive for me, so keeping my fingers crossed from way down in South Africa, Cape Town. By the way, love the channel, always informative. Keep up the good work for us small stuff.
Cheapo been looking to get into this for a while but like when you started i am also on universal credit so makes it hard to budget to buy the tools, love what you've been doing and hope i win
Really been looking forward to this video. My set up needs some new kit, so even if I don't win I'll definitely take your suggestions on board. Even if it is cheapo stuff!👍
Hi Phil, thanks for all the time you put in to your channel, I really like the things you do and the knowledge you have. I’ve always been interested in fixing things, since I was a kid I was always taking thing apart, parents hated me because of the amount of things I broke. Lol Cheapo stuff looks good enough to me👍👍👍
Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful for beginners like me. This video realeses at a very perfect time to me because i was looking at AliExpress for "cheapo"-stuff and was a little scared to buy it. Thanks a lot!
With that kit I might have another go at fixing the micro-usb port on my cheapo dab radio. (Mind you, made such a mess last time, it does just about charge up if I plug it in at a funny angle lol)
Love watching your video's, even replaced my own HDMI port and saved loads of money. My setup is pretty poor so a Cheapo setup would be a real Bonus :) Keep up the good work buddy.
rofl that looks close to my setup only difference is I use glasses that kinda remind me of jeweler or dentist glasses that have lights on sides and interchangeable lenses that go up to like 100x i actually like them a lot n it's an ok setup I haven't ran into much it cant do tho.
Great "CHEAPO" Setup awesome prize to get started with. Great video showing the CHEAPO gear in action too. Keep up the good work. I like your videos as they are very explanitary as you explain things clearly. 5STAR AWESOME VIDEO.

Upgrade as you go. This is exactly the right approach to take. As you learn more you buy better tools, and so on.
Absolutely true that you don't need a lot of money. I started in 2014 restoring vacuum tube testers with a $40 iron, a meter, and pliers. The best thing you can have besides money is the will to learn and the fundamental understandings of electrons and Ohms-Law.
Same here but with video game consoles (: I spent many a night staring into a cheap magnifying glass inhaling fumes! (X

Same pretty much. It was the missing link understanding electronics also and making my own circuits + doing micro repairs :)
Great little Cheapo set to get one lucky person up and running. Thanks for the opportunity mate I've learned alot from your channel and that itself is very much appreciated keep it up bud!
This quicko T12 soldering iron is absolutely mad tool, I use it for like 2 years now, it never let me down.
Very generous of you to offer this. Nothing at all wrong with starting with a cheapo setup to get a taste and move on from there if/as necessary.

What a nice dude, with a wonderful story. You should be extremely proud of yourself!
I too am left handed so have had to adapt to doing some things right handed.this 'CHEAPO' set up is actually a good sep up for beginners.
Well I was looking to get into repairs so nothing better than a cheapo setup to get started! Keep up the great work!
What's not to like? Great video bud, even tho it is a "cheapo" set up by your standards, it would still be an upgrade for me.
Fingers crossed.

Cheapo stuff looks good enough to me👍👍👍
Really good of you to make this. It can be really hard to discriminate the cheapo from the crapo particularly when buying online.
New viewer and I enjoy this contents as I started the same way with a cheapo 3d printer from Ali express
Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful for beginners like me. This video realeses at a very perfect time to me because i was looking at AliExpress for "cheapo"-stuff and was a little scared to buy it. Thanks a lot!
Awesome channel Phil
"cheapo"is always my first choice but not always the best choice
With that kit I might have another go at fixing the micro-usb port on my cheapo dab radio. (Mind you, made such a mess last time, it does just about charge up if I plug it in at a funny angle lol)
That’s a great set of cheapo starter kit. Good luck with the channel. Fingers crossed it will come in handy
Love the Cheapo set-up just goes to prove you don’t need all the expensive kit!
Awesome idea with the cheapo set I would love to get my hands on it and start repairing old game consoles and cartridges
Another great and informative video, including the "Cheapo" stuff too. :)
"Cheapo" love my daily fix of watching what you get up to next
Love watching your video's, even replaced my own HDMI port and saved loads of money. My setup is pretty poor so a Cheapo setup would be a real Bonus :) Keep up the good work buddy.
Really enjoyed the video Phil. Just goes to show what you can do when using less expensive tools.
very generous of you phil , keep up the good work mate "CHEAPO"
Love the channel Phil, would love to get started with some 'cheapo' kit.
rofl that looks close to my setup only difference is I use glasses that kinda remind me of jeweler or dentist glasses that have lights on sides and interchangeable lenses that go up to like 100x i actually like them a lot n it's an ok setup I haven't ran into much it cant do tho.
This setup is just what I was looking for to start doing some retro computer and console repairs on the “CHEAPO”
