Apple has decided they really don't want you to get your 2000$+ machine fixed by anyone but them, we disagree.

Tools we Use

Soldering

I currently Use 3 different handles, standard, micro-pencil and micro tweezers.
I will say having the standard handle and micro pencil is a necessity and the tweezers
are intermittently useful but not necessary.
Tip choice is largely personal preference, unless its conical.
I use bevel or chisel tips for standard handle and knife tip for micro pencil, standard ones for the tweezers.

Fume Extractor- Not available on amazon, but we use a Quick 6102A1 (Dual Port) The single port is the 6101a1, don't cheap out on your health!
I believe there are some vendors in the US on eBay for these or you could order on ali express Union repair etc.
Solder fumes are bad to breath, get a good fume extractor lest ye get the cancer!

If you have a shaky table, you should get a stationary non boom arm mount.

Working under a microscope is frustration without a Barlow lens.

Testing

https://amzn.to/3WUQZMP - Siglent SDM 3045X Benchtop multimeter, this is not really necessary and a hand held meter is fine for most applications.
This benchtop supply makes it easy to have an overlay in OBS and has some fun features.

https://amzn.to/3UTgzPM -Fluke 117 Handheld multimeter True RMS. This will work forever and this is what I used before using the Siglent.
I still use this for larger items that cant go on the table.

https://amzn.to/44WAVfx - Fancy USB C amp meter, has software with fun things like graphs, you can see it on your computer screen.

https://amzn.to/4bR2Yiu - Thermal Camera, the amount of things this makes faster or possible to fix is astounding.
