BEST Instructors have put together video demonstrations of common hand
soldering tips and skills. These are not designed to be in place of
live one on one training where repetitive skills and subsequent one
on one feedback is given. Rather, they are quick refreshers designed
to be viewed if a specific skill has not been practiced in a
while.
