Get Ladyada’s Electronics Toolkit for Dad – perfect for taking on electronics project challenges together!

multimeterfathersday

Pocket Autoranging Digital Multimeter – fully featured meter in a compact package, great as a backup meter if Dad’s already got a full-sized one!

panavisefathersday

Panavise Jr. PV-201 – This awesome little circuit board vice makes it easy to work on small PCBs (like most Adafruit kits!). Once Dad has one, he won’t know how he made things without it.

hakkofathersday

Genuine Hakko FX-888 soldering iron – we like this iron so much we made a LEGO version for Ladyada’s LEGO workshop.

usbmicroscopefathersday

USB Microscope – Give Dad the gift of SUPER VISION! As electronics get smaller and smaller, you’ll need a hand examining PCBs and this little USB microscope is the perfect tool. Its smaller and lighter than a large optical microscope but packs quite a bit of power in its little body.

bethanyshorbfathersday

Circuit board necktie – printed from a vintage circuit board silkscreen, this tie is black with silver ink.

oscopedadsday

1 GS/s Digital Storage Oscilloscope – The ultimate debugging tool for Dad’s electronics, this oscilloscope will turn Dad into a “Circuit Whisperer”.

dsonanofathersday

DSO Nano v2 – Pocket-size color digital oscilloscope – This cute pocket oscilloscope is a perfect companion to Dad’s tool box – it is not as complicated as a benchtop scope so its easy to use.

beaglefathersday

Beagle USB 12 Protocol Analyzer + Sticker – USB complexity got Dad down? Does he need a hand with enumeration? Is Dad Reverse engineering a USB device? Dad will fall in love with the Beagle 12 USB Analyzer.

38piecescrewdriverfathersday

38 Piece Screwdriver Set – take apart almost anything!

6driversfathersday

Precision screwdriver set (6 pieces) – This set contains 6 screwdrivers, 3 Phillips (#1, #0 and #00) and 3 flat (2.4mm, 1.8mm and 1.4mm). These sizes will open up pretty much any consumer electronics you come across. We picked this set to carry because it is better quality than most low cost sets.

sugrufathersday

Sugru – multicolor pack or black and white pack – Soft-touch silicone rubber that molds and sets permanently. Sticks to aluminum, steel, ceramics, glass, wood and some fabrics + plastics! Sugru also has a cool poster called “Dad’s guide to fix (almost) anything.”
