🛠 TOOLS OF THE TRADE:
⭐️ SmallRig Professional Phone Video Rig Kit https://ebay.us/fpnulQ
This is a step up from my old set which was made of poor quality plastic and it kinda needs replacing. This kit is more stable and has loads of attachments. I find the power bank holder very useful especially during those extended recording sessions.

⭐️ Engineer Crimping Tool https://amzn.to/3Rt7H0w
This is a simple yet very effective tool to use for crimping those small JST/Molex connector pins (20-32 AWG Wires). It makes DIY installs look clean and legit.

⭐️ Ratchet & Torx 38-pc Set https://tidd.ly/3mkoQvI
A good and inexpensive beginner ratchet set. A must have for any automative DIY’er

⭐️ T8-T40 1/4" Torx Security Bit 150mm https://amzn.to/3LWQPvf
These are long Torx bits useful for reaching those deep/recessed screws (E.g. screw inside the aircon vent)
