			=== Connector Crimper ===
			It would be really handy to have a [https://www.amazon.com/Yangoutool-Connector-Housing-1500pcs-Crimper/dp/B091MQSM63/ Dupont connector crimping tool and sample pin/body set]. We only need one of these, not one per workbench. The connectors are compatible with wireless breadboards and all 0.1"/2.54 mm spacing connections.

			=== Soldering Irons ===
			We have a mishmash of different soldering irons. A few are temperature controlled, most are just one temp stick irons. We should have [https://www.amazon.com/Hakko-FX888D-23BY-Digital-Soldering-Station/dp/B00ANZRT4M one like this] on each bench.

			=== Wire Strippers ===
			The wire strippers in the Electronics-Robotics Lab only go down to #20/22 awg wire. A lot of electronic work requires #24 - #28/30 awg wire. We should equip each bench with an additional, small wire stripper; something like: [https://www.amazon.com/Greenlee-PA1118-GripP-Stripper-Cutter/dp/B0006BHHDQ/ this].
