Do you have an electric screwdriver recommendation?

I've gotten most of my metal film resistors on Ali.
Getting one of 97 values and one of the 30 values will cover a lot of ground. The lower value count will cover most typical pedal values.
I organize them in a couple of recipes boxes.
These mylar bags work great for when small ear ships your $17 BBD in normal plastic baggies.
The 60mm ones fit wonderfully in baseball card holder sheets.
60x90 for 9 panel sheets
65x120 for 6 panel sheets.

Yes, the arrowmax ses mini. I use it everyday. Best form factor / comfort in hand of any I’ve bought and I’ve owned 3 others. Meant to suggest it after the non electric one: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPVp2pK

Just a heads up that the same 11/11 sale is becoming Ali's black friday sale. I'm pretty set from the 11/11 sale (I'll have some fun stuff to show off in the mailbox thread once I get home today, actually!) but figured I'd let people know.

Got any pics of these in use?
No. But I'll try to remember (what were we talking about?) To grab some in the next couple days.
If these were kindly redesigned by our 3d printer capable brethren, they would be, by far, the easiest test bed platform.
I've gotten pretty quick with the Dremel on them, about 3 minutes each, but it does weaken the pcb.
Note that I have, as can anyone, use them with 3pdt daughter boards to fully test a pedal without any soldered wires. Used on madbean as well. Takes 10-15 seconds to setup without any soldered wires to fanagle.
Not reliable on pedals with odd(non flush edge) DC in points, but I've moved to using headers on most pedals with DC +- adjacent to each other.

I might take a stab at trying to redo the PCB parts of it so it’s more of a T shape as opposed to a square. Saw some listings for unassembled versions and it started to make more sense. My order of them should be coming next week
The pcb redesign is pretty simple and honestly doesn't get in the way on most builds. *But* you have to trim the pcb to get the plastic trimmed.
The biggest issue is the OEM(lol) only makes two clamp sizes. One for 2-6 poles. One for 6+ poles
Well, the smaller clamp is still to fat to fit between most ppcb pot layouts.
I'll post some photos in a bit. Finishing up a big guitar re-gut project first.
Here is a standard ppcb 3 knob, the peach fuzz
I took off a little more than needed.
You do have to clear lower pot wittb the lower "holder" pcb where the pogos are soldered, as well as the sides of the pots with the clamp.
It's not a terrible trim, but an off the sled option would be good for others.
Attachments
Generally, the lower pcb mounts just need a bit to trim on the bottom of the clamp to avoid solder points of thoser components.
Bridge a couple clamps with Dupont wires and test your footswitch while you're at it.
I have on of the old $3 small bear BMP predrills that I stuck jacks and banana jacks in.
I run Dupont to banana cables to it. Not fancy but works well.

This might be worth exploring.

PCB Pogo Pin CLIP - PCB Klemme by seba83e

Pogo Pin Test/Programming/Debug Clip by Viper_7
Programming clip for connecting to headers on various PCBs without soldering any pins in place. Great for testing out Arduino modules and for programming microcontroller modules such as STM32 blue/black pills. Potentially quite useful for educational applications, allowing students to connect...

Yeah. Same idea. It's basically just getting someone to make a 4P one thats clamp will squeeze between 2 pots(or getting you to change your layout for DC ¿?)This might be worth exploring.

The ali ones work for for me, trimmed down. But a viable and available no-modification-needed option could be good for the hobby.

It says "height 30cm" in the text. So the model must be tiny.
I've been using a pogo clamp on each end, one for power one for I/O, mainly to test LED brightness on a breadboard.
Clearance at the I/O end usually isn't too bad. Some of the tighter madbean builds can be touchy on maintaining a good connection.
Also. Not for anyone interested. You can just buy even number pin clamps. Say you have a pcb with 7 holes, you can usually use an 8 pin pogo clamp and it will seat fine. The 8th pin will just compress more.
