# Tools Needed

 **The Ringo is a kit designed to educate, but it’s far from a toy.**

**And as such, it requires some real tools.**

The equipment and tools required for the assembly are not included in the standard kit.

The tools required are essential whenever assembling, fixing or modifying electronic devices and are the tools of the trade for every maker/hardware hacker/modder/electrician.

Here's the list of tools needed :

1. **USB soldering iron**
2. **Small cross screwdriver**
3. **USB power brick for the soldering iron**
4. **Needle-nose pliers**
5. **Soldering iron stand**
6. **Diagonal cutter pliers**
7. **A small reel of rosin-cored solder**
8. **Power cable for the soldering iron**
9. **Desoldering vacuum tool (solder sucker)**
10. **Cleaning sponge**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.pakronics.com.au/makerspace/curcuitmess/circuitmess-ringo/tools-needed.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
