You Need This!
Can you live without this gadget? Of course.
Will it make straightening IC pins easier? Absolutely!
Is it fun to use? Most definitely!
This tool is real time saver. It does a great job forming IC pins so they're perfectly straight and ready to pop into a socket or PCB.
One side of the tool handles narrow IC's and the other side deal with wider IC's. Just drop the IC onto the correct side of the tool, squeeze the sides together a couple of times, and Bob's Your Uncle!

A very nice, compact, digital battery charger.
Very full featured. About the only thing lacking is battery cell resistance measurements. It runs cooler and with higher output (200W) when using DC power input.
The SkyRC “SkyCharger” Bluetooth iOS app works perfectly with this charger.
I've owned two of these chargers so far (one was the same model marketed by SkyRC and this model) and on both the cheap 12v internal cooling fan started squealing loudly after a dozen or so uses. This was easily fixed by replacing it with a CPU fan featuring dual ball bearings instead of the sleeve bearing used in the original. For reference, the cooling fan size is a common 25mm x 25mm x 10mm thick.

Good Film, But a Bit Simplistic and Slow
1 of 2 found this helpful Overall this documentary film gives a good basic review of the tragic history of the Donner and Reed emigrant parties. However, it skips much of the more interesting details which can be found in written histories done on the subject, such as the definitive book "Ordeal by Hunger" by George Stewart (available as an audio book),
Now obviously a 90 minute film isn't going to come close to the depth of detail contained in a dedicated history book, but the slow pace of this film and the long drawn out readings of diary entries wasted valuable time which I felt could have been devoted to offering the viewer more details.
Nonetheless this DVD is worth getting if you want a quick primer on the subject, or as an addition to a written history you might also read. But it's certainly not the best documentary ever made!
