[sdiy] electronics first aid kit

[Stephen Begin]

It really doesn't matter much, the thing you need will invariably be
whatever you almost-brought-but
then-decided-there-was-no-way-you'd-end-up-needing, or so it goes with me.

My electronics first aid kit is huge,the one thing I'll say is you can never
have too many adapters, I've never needed a soldering iron though, but i
guess tape can only go so far.
