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!

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.

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.

Killer tip that, the heat-shrink on the gator clips! Thank you!

[tschofield]

He's back again! Yes. I like this.

[garyvaughan]

Well done. Love the extreme yet suttle humor.

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

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.

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.

[NathanaelNewton]

This video style is very aesthetically pleasing..!

These are great little primers, cool stuff.

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.

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
