Good quality tools are always good for the workstation. You can find many cheapest types of equipment in the market but they will exhaust your time and efforts. In this article, I will explain mobile repairing tools. The best quality tools may be costly but you will get great results.

Mobile repairing tools play a vital role to make your work more perfect and effective.

There are more than hundreds of mobile repairing tools available in the market but we need to examine what is good and effective. Let’s know more about Mobile repairing tools:

• Soldering Iron: Used to solder small components like capacitors, resistors, diodes, transistors, regulators, speakers, microphones, display etc. A 50-watt soldering iron is good enough for most mobile phone repair jobs. When buying a soldering iron, select the one that is easy to hold and does not burn your hand. The soldering iron must have the option to choose and select different types and shapes of soldering tips or bits.
• Soldering Station: A soldering station has 2 units a station and an iron. It has the option to control temperature depending on the heat requirement of the soldering job being done. It is better and more convenient than a traditional soldering iron. It makes soldering work much easier and faster. When buying a soldering station for mobile phone repair one must always select an ESD-Safe (Antistatic) model.
• PCB Holder / PCB Stand: A PCB holder or PCB stand is used to hold the PCB of a mobile phone while soldering or repairing. It holds the PCB very strongly and doesn’t allow it to move thus helping in repairing. Again, it is important and wise to select a good quality PCB holder rather than a cheaper and inexpensive one.
• Solder Wire: Solder wire is used to solder electronic components Composition of most solder wire is tin and lead in the ratio of 60:40 or 63:37. Lead-free solder wire is available in many compositions but the most common composition is tin/silver/copper in the Ratio 96.5:3.0:0.5. Solder wire is available in different diameters such 2.0mm, 1.5mm, 1.0mm, 0.5mm, 0.2mm, etc. For mobile phone repair, 0.5mm solder wire is the best suitable. Kester is a world-renowned manufacturer and supplier of solder wire and other soldering materials.
• Thinner or PCB Cleaner: Thinner or PCB cleaner is used to clean the PCB of a mobile phone. The most common PCB cleaner used in mobile phone repair is IPA or Isopropyl Alcohol. It is important to buy only good quality PCB cleaners as poor quality PCB cleaners can damage the board.
• Jumper Wire: This is a thin laminated or coated copper wire used to jump from one point to another on the track of a mobile phone while repairing it. Most people doing the work of mobile repairing do jumper to solve many problems.
• Blade Cutter: This is used to remove lamination from the jumper wire. It can also be used for several other purposes.
• Point Cutter: It is used for cutting.
• Nose Cutter: It is used for cutting.
• Precision Screwdriver: It is used to remove and tighten screws while assembling and dissembling a mobile phone. Precision screwdrivers of sizes T4, T5, T6, and forehead are good for most mobile repairing jobs.
• Tweezers: These are needed to hold electronic components, ICs, jumper wire, etc while soldering and Disordering.
• Brush: These are used for cleaning the PCB of a mobile phone while repairing ti. It is important to buy only ESD-Safe cleaning brushes.
• Multimeter: Used to find faults, and check track and components. Always buy a good quality reliable ESD-Safe Digital Multimeter for mobile repair works.
• Hot Air Blower: It is also called SMD (Surface Mount Device) rework system and SMD repair system. It has control to regulate or manage the temperature and flow of hot air. Always buy a good quality ESD-Safe hot air blower.
• Battery Booster: It is used to boost the power of the battery of a mobile phone.
• Ultrasonic Cleaner: Used to clean the PCB of a mobile phone and electronic components.
• BGA Kit: Used to Reball and repair ball-type ICs. BGA stands for Ball Grid Array.
• Magnifying Lamp: It is used to see the magnified view of the PCB of a mobile phone. Most magnifying lamps also have light. Magnifying lamps are available in different magnifications such as 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 50x, etc.
• Mobile Opener: These are used to open the housing or body of a mobile phone.
• DC Power Supply: Regulated DC (Direct Current) power supply is used to supply DC current to a mobile phone. Most repair personnel used a DC power supply to switch ON a mobile phone without a battery.
• Liquid Flux: It is used to clean PCB tracks and legs or pins of electronic components while soldering. Liquid flux improves the quality of soldering. Kester flux is world renowned for good quality.
• Paste Flux: This is also used while soldering.
• Solder Paste: This is solder in molted semi-solid form. It looks like a paste. Solder paste is mainly used for Rebelling of ICs.
• Cleaning Sponge: This is used to clean the tip of the soldering iron while soldering.
• Desoldering Wire: Desoldering wire or Desolder wire is used to remove excess solder from the track of the PCB. Chemtronics is a world-renowned manufacturer and supplier of Desoldering wire.
• Screwdriver Kit: It has several screwdrivers of different shapes and sizes to dissemble and assemble a mobile phone. Aven Tools is a world-renowned manufacturer, exporter, and supplier of all kinds of tools and tool kits.
• IRDA or Infrared Workstation: This machine is similar to a hot air blower. The only difference is that it gives heat through infrared. It is very precise and gives heat only where it is needed thus preventing any damage to nearby electronic components on a PCB.
• LCD Tester: Used to check whether the LCD screen of a mobile phone is faulty or not.
• Microscope: It is used to see a magnified view of PCB or electronic components. These are available in different zoom options. Many microscopes can also be connected to a computer or a monitor.
• Test JIG Box: This device is used to diagnose and find faults or problems in a mobile phone. It helps the mobile phone to work and function normally outside its case. This helps to test and check voltage and other test points on the PCB. In simple words, it helps the mobile phone to work without a battery.
• Wrist Strap: It works on the wrist of the person who is repairing a mobile phone. It helps to discharge or ground static charge thus preventing the PCB or electronic components from any damage.
• Antistatic Hand Gloves: It is important to wear ESD-Safe hand gloves while repairing a mobile phone to prevent PCB and electronic components from static charge.
• Antistatic Mat: It is laid or placed on the table or workbench where mobile repairing is done. The mat is grounded using a grounding cord or normal grounding wire. This also prevents damage from static electricity.
• Antistatic Apron: It is a dress worked by people who repair mobile phones. This also helps to discharge static electricity.
• Smoke Absorber: This is like an exhaust fan that helps to filter smoke that comes out while soldering and Desoldering.
• Battery Tester: This device is used to test and analyze the status or condition of the battery of a mobile cell phone.

So after reading the whole article you must have a certain idea about mobile repairing tools. A good quality tool saves your efforts and gives more results whereas another hand, the cheapest mobile repairing tools may be harmful to products.
