Right tools

When I met the guy last night to collect the LCD for my "nuke" I had a long journey back home and plenty of time to think about stuff

The first thing that came into my mind was get the right tools for your job
I really learnt this 2 nights ago, when I tried to solder (joining two metal contacts together) the NDS touch screen cable to a wire
The pin heads to join were something like 0.5mm (check a ruler to see how far) apart from each other
I got as thin a wire as I could get, modified my soldering iron a little and even got a smaller gauge solder from samuel
Yet, I still had one heck of a tough time soldering it
If I had the right tools for it, would it have been a breeze?
Unlikely
But definitely it would have made things significantly easier
Anyway thats over and the damage is done but at least I think I learnt something there

The hard part is really applying this to into my life
hmmm.....


ps sorry for boring you guys out
