My track record of repairing electronics has been patchy at best. However I’ve had a couple of successes more recently and now I want more.

What would you recommend for tools? 🧰

Update: Fixed a mixer by checks notes opening it up and sticking some plastic into it

@DavidDarnes I’m still a beginner, but I’ve been having good luck so far with an iFixit toolkit and a no-name cheapo soldering iron. 🤷

@DavidDarnes I got a cheap hot air station recently. Useful for removing tiny components from PCB, already had much easier time and more success than using a soldering iron. Helpful for loosening adhesives as well (lower the temp though!)
