A Screwdriver Bit Me!

A Screwdriver Bit Me!

Who hasn't picked up the wrong end of a soldering iron?

Oh, man! When I was about 2 years old, my uncle left his soldering iron plugged in on the desk in his studio. It was one of the big ones. I thought that it was a screwdriver and picked it up. The darn thing bit me!

My yell brought the house down. My uncle got my hand under cold water and gave me something to ease the pain. And then headed back to his studio. When he saw what was left of his wooden chair, where I had dropped the soldering iron, his yell brought the house down.

I've also dropped my iron a couple of times over the years. It's incredible how one develops cat-like reflexes when something hot is headed for your shorts.

But don't blow it because you don't have the right kit. Use the proper tools.

May I ask a favour? We're doing as much as we can to make sure we have what you need to get your job done. We've been doing it for 40 years, but with times changing as fast as they are right now, we need some help.

I have set up a very short survey which asks just one question: What is the biggest work-related problem you're facing right now? Simply write it down in your own words. I'll read each answer, and I'll use some clever software to identify the biggest issues - and then we'll try and add some value for you. Please Go Here.
