Step 3Tools
These are the tools I used:
Radio Shack #270-373 1-1/8" Micro Smooth Clips
"clip-on-a-stick" - One of the Micro Smooth Clips mounted on a nail or other sort of stick.
Temperature-Regulated Soldering Iron with a fine tip (I use the Weller WD1001 digital soldering station with 65 watt iron and 0.010" x 0.291"L micro tip). On a budget however, a 15-watt Radio Shack style soldering iron should be fine.
Helping Hands
Multimeter (for circuit testing)
Wire shears
Flux (I like the Kester Water-Soluble Flux-Pen, available at HMC Electronics (part# 2331ZXFP))
Solder (the thinner the better)
Tweezers
Exacto Knife / Razor blade

For soldering on the board, the flux pen is the bee's knees. For stripping and tinning the magnet wire, I applied a bit of rosin flux with a toothpick. (I got my rosin flux in a little 4 oz plastic tub at Radio Shack.)
