Light Tools

Darell's 4th Hand.  These are magnetic dial-indicator articulating arms holding precision tweezers.  The tweezer ends are ground to fit the dovetails in the holder clamps.  I also have a round vice and a soft-jaw tweeze that I can swap in.

The tools I've collected specifically for building lights.  I got tired of digging through a drawer to find everything, so finally made this stand today that I can easily move around the bench.  Finally I can see them all, and have instant access!

The ever-changing collection. The addition of the Wiha ESD-safe precision tweezers has been a life-saver!

BKP 1743 regulated DC Power Supply. 0-35V, 0-6A.

Fluke 179 DMM.

Metcal with lots of tips (only a few shown here!).

Microscope with fluorescent light ring. I use the round vice on my 4th hand to hold the work.
