Tools and Care Products — Do It Yourself, Music Fan!
Building amplifiers, repairing guitars and maintaining high-quality music equipment all come down to having the right tools and care products. Wire strippers, ring spanners and side cutters belong in every audiophile’s workshop, just like cleaning products for plugs and contacts, or guitar tools for fretboard fanatics. Alongside essential tools, we stock everything you need for soldering, plus specialist care products from Caig — an industry leader whose cleaning solutions have been trusted by pros for years.
Tools
Fancy rolling up your sleeves and building your own amplifier? With some skill and plenty of patience, it’s possible for anyone — provided you have the right tools.
When working with delicate electronic components, precision and gentle handling with proper tools are vital. Our own TAD tools provide DIY enthusiasts with the right equipment for restoration, repairs and new builds.
Wrenches and Pliers
Cutting and stripping cables, loosening and tightening screws, trimming strands — for every job around amplifier building, it’s crucial to have the right size spanner or tool at hand. Screws and nuts in hi-fi equipment are made from premium materials, but due to their small size they can be easily damaged by the wrong tools. Using the correct tools helps avoid stripped screw heads!
Soldering and Accessories
The crowning discipline of working with electronic components is proper soldering. Precise workmanship and a steady hand are key, as is using quality tools. We offer a wide range of solder wire, tips and stations so every connection is solid! By the way: a digital multimeter is ideal for checking connections — and of course, we have those in stock too!
Cleaning and Care Products
For cleaning, we rely on Caig’s solutions — their DeoxIT care products have become a top choice in the industry and complement our tools perfectly. Their products are available in different series, each designed for specific applications:
D-Series
The D-Series reliably and gently removes corrosion and frees stuck contacts. Targeted application is easy thanks to fine spray nozzles and swabs.
F-Series
The F(ader)-Series was developed especially for conductive plastic potentiometers. Its cleaning and lubricating formula keeps faders and similar components running smoothly, reducing noise and crackling.
G-Series
Specially formulated for gold-plated contacts, the G-Series seals and protects treated surfaces. Improved conductivity ensures a more loss-free signal path for a cleaner sound.
S-Series
The S-Series provides optimal lubrication and sealing. This helps keep contaminants out of sensitive parts in amplifiers and more, while extending the lifespan of components under stress.
