Products from AliExpress that I purchased for repair and construction
Probably everyone has a list of products that they purchased on aliexpress or joom and which they can recommend. As a rule, analogs in ordinary stores are more expensive or absent. Below is a selection of several products and tools that I am completely satisfied with.
24 bit set with screwdriver
Designed for repairing cell phones or just to disassemble something, where the curly fasteners. The size of the leatherette case: 10.4x6.4x2.2 cm. The steel is of high quality, in the description it is indicated that it is chrome vanadium. How many used - all the bits are intact. Screwdriver with a convenient rotating stop. Those. you put it in your palm and turn it with your fingers. Alternative link to aliexpress
My photos:
I ordered it in 2016 for 285 rubles. (looked in the order history). The price on aliexpress has remained virtually unchanged. Not to say that I used it often, but the tool is still as good as new. Feedback from other buyers is also positive.
Inexpensive soldering iron
You can choose with or without a set of attachments (with one included). The good thing about the soldering iron is the temperature control (200-450 g.) And replaceable nozzles of different shapes. Inside there is a ceramic heater. The power cord is 1.4 m long. Soldering iron length: 18.5 cm. Light. There is no stand included. Alternative link to aliexpress
Soldering iron condition after three years:
I bought it in mid-2016. I used it often, the case at the place where the soldering iron was heated had time to burn. But the sting needs to be tinkered constantly. The alloy is not like in expensive models, which do not oxidize and hold the solder well. But I think that for such a price, a soldering iron is normal for some non-jewelry work.
Drill bit set for mini drill or engraver
Drill diameter: 0.3-1.6mm. A set of 20 pcs. For the repair of watches or micro-mechanisms. I bought it just in case. In addition to your engraving kit. The price is not high. Link on aliexpress
There is one drill bit in each compartment in a plastic case. On the contrary, its diameter is indicated. By moving the top transparent cover with a hole, you can select the desired drill. The principle is the same as in a case with needles.
Step drill set
A set of three titanium-coated stepped drills. Two drills with diameters from 4 to 12 mm (5 and 10 steps). And one from 4 to 20 mm (9 steps). Case included. Have been oiled. Link on aliexpress
Haven't tested it yet. Of course, they will not be able to drill carbon steel with them - they will quickly become dull. Aluminum, plastic or tin up to 2 mm are fine.
The price on aliexpress and joom is very different. Perhaps the manufacturer himself sells on aliexpress.
I will add for those interested more coupon link. A discount of 250 rubles when ordering from 1000 rubles for new customers. Validity period: 01/20/2021 - 02/01/2021
