Equipment and tools at VHS:
Many tools here can be dangerous. If you are not qualified to use them or are unsure, please ask! A list of rules will not keep you safe; safety comes from knowing how to recognize all possible hazards and understanding how to deal with them. You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of others.
All dangerous tools are members only. Feel free to come down and use our soldering irons, hand tools, and test gear, however.
When you add tools, please put follow this template!
See Compendium of Champions for who is in charge of the gear.
