    Why do you say nanoferad for nF, but poof instead of picofarad for pF?

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Holbrook says:

    Ya i think i have some of that jinhu solder looks the same anyways on that orange spool but it sucks

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John - Mostly Magic Smoke says:

    Reminds me of Tim – nice but dim ๐Ÿ˜‚

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Howard Adams says:

    Caution with the cable lugs, as I have found the mm CSA of the cable is not extended right through the lug especially where the solder hole is located and at the terminal itself.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars N Kos says:

    i really enjoy your videos mostly because there isn't any OP theme ๐Ÿ™‚

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frankhe78 says:

    What current do those green LED's consume? What would be the wear of a low brightness high current LED?

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff Bluejets says:

    Lugs are tinned copper and size is sq mm with hole size as you found.

    This is a comment about the package you didn't open. OPEN IT. RESPOND TO MY MESSAGE.

    Thanks, nice video.

    Cheap Chinese solder is a lottery. Go to somewhere like RS components and buy some decent multicore lead solder. They don't seem to be running out. For what you get in a big spool it's not really that expensive and you keep a great British electronic suppliers alive too.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adam Welch says:

    Nice looking set of trojans youโ€™ve got there Julian.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fiskur Tjorn says:

    All those comments making Julian enjoy his joke!

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hyss says:

    The mechanic solder I got from LCSC is pretty good. You should give that a go. In fact, mechanic makes pretty good stuff generally for the money.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars standishgeezer says:

    Not really all that difficult to get good 60/40 leaded solder in the UK yet (RS Components, CPC etc.) unless you are a cheapskate or haven't searched properly.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Juncus B. says:

    So instead you get a comment on how annoying it is to have someone say "I'm not going to open this". Hey make the whole video like that and it'll go a lot faster. That is of course the point I stopped watching at.
