    this is what Youtube tutorials are about. I think too many creators got trapped in the 10 min monetisation mark and made their videos 11 mins or more, ultimately full of fluff and no information(wandering on about nonsense) Thanks for this
  • @phazonxl
    Still the best soldering tutorial video on the internet. This is the one I link to friends and acquaintances when they're learning soldering for the first time.
  • Very good, from a former Navy 2M tech. High reliability soldering takes time and practice. In school, my soldering was graded under a microscope and took an unrealistic amount of time to do, but it was suitable for aircraft and NASA.

    This 7 minute video provided me with an answer to every question I had about soldering. Every sentence was meaningful. I only wish I saw this first before spending all the time reading articles and watching other videos!
  • This is tremendously useful.  Every sentence is packed with information.  There is no fluff.  It was so dense it was hard to grasp every tip given in one viewing.  Many thanks.

    I'm on board with everyone else this is the best soldering video I've seen so far.
  • 4 years later and your video is still teaching people. i'm learning to solder. Thanks
  • You were very comprehensive and thorough with your explanations. Tonight, I'm soldering my first circuit board, and after sifting through a litany of instructionals, I finally feel confident enough to do it after your video. You broke down your soldering technique, including hazards and time constraints, in a way which was easy enough to understand for even a total beginner. Subbed, thank you.
  • @heh4901
    After 8 years, this is still incredibly useful!
  • @leasaledoux7708
    This is by far the most comprehensive explanation I have found. I've watched 30-40 "basic soldering" videos and tutorials that were useless?! Thank you.
  • @prajwalhn311
    Most information packed video about soldering explained in as little as 7 minutes!!
  • @TheHackysack
    Most useful and most correct soldering video I've seen. Granted, it's a very limited sample, but there seem to be too many incorrect tutorials on soldering.
  • @joeguitargod
    This is the best soldering tutorial video on YouTube. Thanks!
  • @CaliBup
    I could never quite get soldering, thought I was bad at it. This video helped a lot! Thank you!
  • @diverski
    Thank you so much. I’ve always been poor at soldering and never knew why... this video explained WHY I was doing things wrong and helped me understand how to fix it! Thanks to you, I just fixed a PCB with 16 new capacitors on my first try!! Thank you!
  • @DirectorsGarage
    This is the best soldering video I've ever seen. I have sucked at soldering-- mainly because I didn't understand WHY I was doing what I was doing. I messed up a circuit board the other day, this video is going to help me get it right.
  • @juliuswilkko
    This video explains all you need to know about soldering. Great video, many thanks! Please consider making a new version with higher resolution.
  • @GetRealwithMike
    This will help tremendously. I knew about half the info and sometimes soldering went good and sometimes went bad. Now it will always be good. Thanks
  • I agree with others that this is a great video. Thank you. I'll be coming back to it to refresh my memory as I learn.
