months ago I bought a cheap china soldering kit in a zip case to repair a couple of things, I've bought 3rd hands, a magnifier, cutters, a silicone mat and all matter of bits and bobs, now I'm hooked to watching your tutorials and ordered a pcb practice kit and have repaired just about every easy thing I can around the place and it's now a new hobby at 64 Y.O. proves you can teach an old dog new tricks. love the vid's keep it up, how about easy kits for newbies that are useful?

This fella is the mutt’s nuts when it comes to soldering tutorials! Have learnt so much from him and PACE too. A genuine master craftsman, not many of them left in the modern world unfortunately. 🙏🏽

excellent tutorials, structured, instructive and informative, great camera work, overall a lesson in skill and mastery, so watchable, thanks again....

Really appreciate you sharing your experience and techniques. Your videos are incredibly useful to those of us trying to do these things for the first time without ruining our boards. Thanks!

Mr Solderfix, This comment isn't related to the current video, but more general.

It's been many years since I had to do much soldering, and back then I was pretty rough.
I recently had to do project that was important to me. Small components on a a pcb needed to be put together. Thanks to your advice on this channel, I was able to get the job done and I know that without watching your videos, I would not have been.
So thank you very much for helping us all, and please keep up the great work.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I really wish I had found your videos three years ago when I started learning electronics on my own. I have fried so many boards doing it all wrong. I tried some of your tips and voila I saved two sensors in about 30 minutes. I look forward to more videos.

Your videos are nothing short of brilliant. I've religiously watched them all and several, multiples times. How you spell out how you do what you do and why is unmatchable. I love your titled bridges too: very creative.
I also want to mention something that I've never seen mentioned before. I really dig your accent. not so much because I'm some odd Britophile, but I really get bored to bloody tears listening to guys with game show host, cookie cutter voices. I've just grown to feel there's something disingenuous about them. Your intonation and articulation just keep my attention meter pegged.
Thank you. Keep 'em comin'!

Your videos are the best soldering tutorial which i see! Thank you for your job and your time!

[gabriellevesque]

Thanks for spending time to make these amazing instructional videos!

[GEVO]

Another great one! I find myself scouring through your videos every once in a while while working on projects just to remember some of your techniques. Like the Dual iron method of removing the SMD Electrolytic capacitors. Still dont know why I never thought of that one!

[bryanleon]

Awesome description and demonstration. I love the summary explanation of each individual type of capacitor codes printed on the components. Really great work.

[MusicZeroOne]

I just replaced my old synths slider with your help. Thanks 🙏

[doggrickyfella]

I stumbled upon your video, Presentation Wow I love your vids straight to the point “master at work “ pleasure to watch your work, no fuss the way you cover all the niggly bits tell you what you given me a boost of confidence to give soldering another go.Thank you very much .

Hackaday send me here and i think i stay for a while to crawl though the rest of the vods. Really comprehensive HowTo.
Even if you've done it a thousand times, you can always learn something new.

Still, i use the chisel type tips for this work over the pointy ones (only exception are the pointy ones that are bend at the end). ;)

[davidgrey]

Thank you for your time I have learnt a lot from your tutorials.

[shock-eh]

I was replacing some felts in my digital piano and one of those electrolytic capacitors broke off. I didn’t know what it was or how to put it back on.
This has been very helpful.
Thanks

[brianwood]

Another great video, full of helpful information and motivational tips and tricks. Thanks for sharing with us.

[Johadart]

Hi Mr Solderfix (Graeme), as always great video, I’m liking the fact you use external flux before soldering the component, keep up the great teaching videos mate, I’ve learnt a lot from your content. 🤙🏼🇦🇺

[Corialtavi]

Thanks for spending your time to provide this. (Just seen below someone said exactly the same thing !)

[Maveric]

Hi, Thanks again for another informative video.

Please can you advise how you work out the value of the 1206 and smaller capacitors please?

When you switch solders from lead free and leaded are you switching fluxes and also solder tips please?

Thanks again, looking forward to the diodes and IC videos
