Tools for Electronics & Prototyping Philippines: Soldering, Cutting & Test Gear | Circuitrocks

Tools at Circuitrocks — Your Workshop & Prototyping Sidekicks

Build, fix, and prototype with confidence. Our Tools collection covers soldering irons, cutters, strippers, multimeters, tweezers, tubing, and ESD-safe gear you’ll reach for in every Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi build.

These are the essentials for wiring, assembly, troubleshooting, and repairs—ideal for home benches, school labs, makerspaces, and thesis projects racing against a deadline.

Soldering • Cutting • Stripping • Measuring • ESD • Assembly

Why buy tools here

  • Maker-focused picks: Selected for electronics, not random hardware-store tools.
  • PH stock: Great for rush school projects, client deadlines, and repairs.
  • Tested in builds: Same tools used in learn.circuit.rocks projects and in-store demos.

What you can build

  • Wire up Arduino/ESP32 + sensor projects cleanly and safely
  • Solder headers to modules, shields, and breakout boards
  • Assemble robots, CNC rigs, and 3D-printed mechanisms
  • Debug power issues and loose connections with a multimeter

Recommended add-ons

Popular starter picks (exact SKUs)

These SKUs are a solid starting point for an electronics workbench—good for students, hobbyists, and labs.

Product SKU Typical use
Soldering Iron 60W Adjustable Temperature LED Display 80–500 °C
Everyday temperature-adjustable soldering iron 		2818 Ideal for most PCB work—soldering headers, fixing broken joints, and assembling shields or small perfboard projects.
Electrical Wire Mini Cable Cutters
Full flush cutters for electronics wire 		AN511 Trim jumper wires, component leads, zip ties, and leftover plastic in tight spaces for cleaner, safer builds.
Sponge Cleaner for Soldering Iron 5PCS
Yellow tip-cleaning sponges 		AM250 Keep your iron tip clean between joints so solder flows better and you avoid dull, oxidized tips and cold joints.
Solder Lead Durable 0.8mm 40/60 Tin/Resin Flux Rosin Core
0.8 mm rosin-core solder wire 		FIT0230 Good all-around solder size for through-hole work—enough control for headers and small pads, still fast for general joints.
Anti Static Wristband Strap With Grounding Wire
ESD safety strap for sensitive gear 		2854 Helps protect microcontrollers, sensors, and ICs from electrostatic discharge while you work on open boards.

Tip: For a basic school or thesis bench, combine one soldering iron, mini cutters, a sponge pack, one roll of solder, and an ESD strap.

Core tool families in this collection

Soldering & rework

  • Temperature-adjustable irons and tips
  • Consumables like solder, flux, sponge and tip cleaner

Cutting & stripping

  • Mini flush cutters and diagonal pliers
  • Wire strippers sized for jumper and hookup wire

Measuring & test

  • Digital multimeters and basic testers
  • Useful for power checks and continuity debugging

Assembly & fastening

  • Precision screwdrivers and small hand tools
  • Great for mounting boards in cases or robots

Safety & ESD

  • Anti-static wrist straps and cleaning brushes
  • Better protection for sensitive ICs and modules

Tubing & cable management

  • PVC tubing and related accessories
  • Helps keep wiring neat in 3D-printed and PCB projects

FAQ

I’m a beginner. Which tools should I buy first?

Start with a soldering iron, mini cutters, a small roll of solder, a sponge cleaner, and a basic multimeter. That kit already lets you assemble and debug most Arduino/ESP32 and sensor projects.

Are these tools okay for school labs and thesis groups?

Yes. These tools are commonly used by electronics classes, robotics teams, and thesis groups, and are suitable for supervised student work.

Do I really need a multimeter for simple projects?

Yes—having a multimeter saves time. You can quickly see if power is present, if a wire is broken, or if a component is connected correctly.

Do you ship tools nationwide?

Yes—fast shipping anywhere in the Philippines for in-stock tools, with tracking so you can plan your build schedule.
