Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Eclipse Tools 900-250 solder aid set?
The 900-250 includes 5 tools: a heat sink, reverse tweezers, knife, brush, and scraper. The set also covers a hook, fork, and spike for component manipulation — giving you a complete bench toolkit for hand soldering and PCB rework operations.
What are reverse tweezers and why are they useful for soldering?
Reverse tweezers are self-closing by default and open when squeezed, unlike standard tweezers. This design lets you hold small components securely without maintaining continuous grip pressure, reducing hand fatigue during extended soldering sessions and improving control on small SMD parts and through-hole leads.
How does the heat sink in the 900-250 protect components?
The heat sink clips onto a component lead between the solder joint and the component body. It absorbs and dissipates heat before it can travel up the lead and damage heat-sensitive devices such as transistors, diodes, LEDs, and ICs — a critical tool when soldering near sensitive components.
Is the Eclipse Tools 900-250 the same as the Pros Kit 900-250?
Yes — Eclipse Tools and Pros Kit are commonly associated with the same product line. The 900-250 solder aid set is sold under both names and refers to the same 5-piece tool set.
What skill level is the 900-250 suited for?
The 900-250 is appropriate for both professional electronics technicians and serious hobbyists. The included tools cover the full range of hand soldering bench tasks, making it a practical kit for PCB assembly, electronics repair, and prototype work.
What is the part number for this product?
The Eclipse Tools solder aid set part number is 900-250. It is in stock at MTE Solutions and ships from our Minnesota warehouse.
