    Default A little trick when soldering or inspection

    Nobody get any younger for sure.
    I found out that using two magnifying lens in series makes board inspection much clearer.

    Even soldering smd components seems to be easier using two lens in series.

    Better than single high magnification lens

    Second tip while desoldering.
    A lot of the cheap Chinese wick are too tightly weaved for proper desoldering.
    Open the wick up with your fingers and add some flux. Way better

    Mine didn't have it thought i had share the trick i found with others. The second magnifying glass being not fixed in my case makes things easier in a way to get better view

    I think you missed the point.


    i was using a single magnification lens (out of the box).

    Then i found out that using two magnification lenses in series gave a much clearer image. That is what i share in my post.

    I personally did not know about it and thought I had share for others to take advantage
