A collection of Electronics Tools, Simulators, Calculators and Resources for use by Electrical and Electronics Engineers in designing and testing circuits

Over the last 15 years I have used many pieces of electric/electronic/mechanical tools and equipment (“gear”), and some of them are great and I still use them, and others turned out to be a bit of a downer. In this article I list those that come to mind right now, and add their advantages and disadvantages. Keep checking back, as I will continuously update this page!

Electronics can be a fun and rewarding hobby and despite what you might think you don’t really need a laboratory full of expensive equipment to get into it. A few basic tools and pieces of test equipment are all that is really required to begin working with electronics.
Of course it is possible to spend several thousand dollars on this hobby, as it is on many hobbies, but when you’re just beginning you’ll usually want to try to keep that investment to a minimum.
So follow along as I go over some of the essential tools for your electronic workbench. Tools that will make the job easier without breaking the bank.

I put together a list of 9 essential tools that I think all electronics lab must have. Either if you are just start building your own lab or want to improve yours, here’s the must have tools.

La crimpadora es una herramienta común entre los electrónicos y electricistas. A pesar de ello, no es tan conocida como otras herramientas. El motivo es que muchos aficionados y makers suelen prescindir de ella y usar lo que tienen a su alcance para hacer el trabajo que realiza esta herramienta. Y ojo, porque no debes confundirla con un simple pelacables, aunque algunas también tienen dicha utilidad…
En este artículo podrás ver las grandes ventajas que tiene usar una crimpadora, la comodidad que aporta, rapidez, y todo lo que necesitas saber sobre ella. Además, como verás, no solo sirve para pelar cables y crimpar y nada más, ya que algunas ofrecen otras posibilidades extra…

These tools can tell you how something works (or doesn’t). They let you explore the inner workings of a circuit or gadget. They enable you to take something apart and put it back together (in the case of tools such as screw drivers etc.). Test equipment and tools help you create. Testing also collects data.

This post goes over 7 of the most important and common tools you’ll want to have at your workbench. Some you may use more than others, but if you’re serious about electronics you’ll want all of them at your disposal. 

If you’ve been dabbling in electronics for a while, you may have most (or all) of the tools. If you’re new you may only have a few (or none).

As we dig into the world of electronics, one of the first questions to arise is "How do I test this?" Let’s take a look at some common test procedures and tools. In my world, testing takes one of two possible courses: either software or hardware and instrumentation, including use of a multimeter, oscilloscope and logic analyzer.
