Sequre T55 hot plate for smd soldering and es666 powered screwdriver with bits. The T55 is a fairly recent entry in the diy market, uses USB C PD for power and capable enough for smaller projects. The screwdriver has a shit ton of torque, and is reviewed well, also charges over PD. Bits seem to be of decent quality, didn't strip even when I exceeded the torque limit of the driver. Total was $50 using coupons, and indiapost charged 700rs import duty. Ordered direct from sequremall.
give link for the screwdriver :D and how good is it?

It's pretty good, I watched a few reviews before ordering, and one of the channels I follow, sdg electronics, gave a favorable review. In my experience, in max torque setting it has enough torque that I couldn't hold the tip with my fingers. I tried unscrewing a hex screw on my keyboard and it managed it fine. Couldn't quite do the screws on my 3d printer but I've tightened them as much as I could, for rigidity.

My only concern is longevity, as the mechanical parts/gears(?) inside could wear down with prolonged usage in high torque scenarios.

Bought this mid ranger from Reliance Digital.
The original price was 109990 but haggled it down to 95k.
Core i7,16gb ,512gb,RTX4060 with 144Hz 100% sRGB screen.

Felt it was a good deal to play for nice titles at mid to high graphics. What Say?
Bought some games off steam the first day as there was a sale going on GTA5 enhanced and Far Cry 3 and 5.

Now to upgrade the Ram to 32gb and storage to 1 or 2 TB.
Any suggestions for a decent, cheap ram and HDD?

It's DDR5 SODIMM RAM na? Upto which speed does your laptop support? I think either buying same exact speed RAM is one option if it is crucial or samsung or buying entirely a kit of 32GB(16GBx2) is one another option but this will be slightly costly.
Then for an SSD, if you want 7000mbps read and write speeds then Samsung 990 Pro 1 or 2 TB is best or Kingston KC3000 1 or 2 TB is cheaper than samsung.
But you can ask manichanda TE forum reseller when going for samsung 990 pro ssds. His is open box and cheaper then market price.

Ya it has 16GB DDR5-4800 MHz SO-DIMM RAM. Need to check if its 8*2 or a single 16gb unit. And will check on the SSD's from him.
Some 90 Wh battery ones do not have an extra slot it seems. Need to check that too.
