Maybe add 9V out with a 9V lead to connect to a multi-meter.

I want to build 3 separate pieces. One just for carrying parts. One for tools, soldering in particular. The last is for breadboard prototyping.

Tools and Parts

This box contains the following tools

  • wire spools
  • multimeter
  • Wire cutters
  • jewelers screwdrivers (I could get another like my backpack)
  • needle nose pliers
  • tweezers

It also has all of my parts boxes. I can group the parts by type and write the grouping on the side so that I don't need to see the parts top down all the time.

Prototyping Box

  • soldering iron
  • fume extractor
  • magnifying lamp
  • ac outlets
  • clamps
  • solder spool
  • heat shrink tubing
  • rotary tool

I found a cheap rotary tool for $10 at harbor freight, thought this one might be better, particularly with the flex shaft. The box should have the means to use the tool as a Mini-Drill Press or as a mini-table saw (with a cutting disc) for cutting and drilling pcbs.

I like the designs where a flap folds down as a work area, then the box opens with two front-facing doors.
