I think someone else on the forum pointed these out but they are not too expensive and work really well.

What do you use the gorilla tape for? Would be better to use heatwrap for electrical wiring connections?

104

Everywhere.

I wanted to add this

Itā€™s a stained glass soldering Iron. I used to do stained glass and one day I was soldering 10 GA to my battery pack and just not getting enough heat to make a good joint, until the light came onā€¦

This iron works amazingly well for that purpose - delivers a whole lot of heat with high thermal mass.

Mine is a Weller W100P

You should add a high quality metric Allen key set, Or is it called a hex key set? I rounded my grub screw and key with a sh*t set :triumph:

Donā€™t know if this is any good but the reviews look fine.

Hands-down the best hex keys Iā€™ve ever owned.

What did u use the 2mm bullet connectors for?

To connect the battery charger wires, itā€™s easier to remove the enclosure for inspections or repairs

I also found this to be useful however, it wonā€™t help if there is metal rubbing against it.

Is much better if you donā€™t use it at all and use heat shrink from the begining.

Heat shrink is preferable, but sometimes you canā€™t get the coverage you want or there is a sliver of metal exposed between the heat shrink and an xt-60 connector, thatā€™s when I use the liquid electrical tape.

No. But why adhesive?
