Ode to Ernst Sachs

O break!
A gap you have made
Where has the magic gone?
A joint, a joint, my kingdom for a joint!
Bring the solder!
Bring the flux!
Bring the iron, now you must!
Hot the iron,
The solder and flux will flow
The joint be solid and not set cold!

Ode

Isn’t it great that Ernst Sachs invented the electric soldering iron back in 1921? So we dedicate this Ode to Ernst. I didn’t have room for a second stanza or I would have dedicated it to Ajay Bhatt who invented the USB specification.

What happens when you put these two great inventions together?

You get the next addition to the Hacker Everyday Carry Bag. #HEDC

It is a USB-powered Soldering Iron. You can solder on the go. At your desk. On the couch. At the airport. In your car. Please do not text, drive, and solder because you know texting and driving is dangerous.

We are excited about this addition and how it heats up the bag. But wait until you see what else goes along with a USB soldering iron.

Batteries Not Included

It is time to throw something else in the Hacker Every Day Carry (#HEDC) bag!

Everyone needs to be able to shine a little bit of light so we have selected the J5 Hyper V Tactical Flashlight. It has so many features we had to use a bulleted list to describe them all.

  • 400LM J5 Hyper V Tactical Flashlight.
  • LED with Adjustable Focus Zoom Light Lamp (Head of the flashlight can be pulled out to focus the beam).
  • Powerful, bright, blinding effect.
  • Skid-proof design
  • Waterproof design.
  • Output bright can come to 400 lumens (MAX).
  • This flashlight uses 3 AAA batteries (not included)

Because the Batteries Are Not Included we will gladly throw in some high quality AAA’s so you will not be in the dark.
