I dont know why as my bench is always messy

My bench is always messy. When I need some space, I have to push other stuff out of the way.

 

Hi,

Knipex is a really good tool builder. A little pricey, but last.

Been soldering for a while now, first time posting, as I have a question on trying to keep a work area clean.

I do alot of through-hole pcb soldering at home and I'm constantly clipping the leads, which go flying every where. Is there a good fast way to keep the area clean as possible. I'm not even going to try to keep my 3d printing area clean, which I also get constant plastic strings all over the garage.

Any good advice is welcome.

You might consider using a wire cutter that has a built-in lead catcher

For wire clippings - I think you can get side cutters with spring blades alongside the jaws to grip the wire.

Not seen any advertised recently though.
