At Keyless City, we understand that precise soldering and circuit board repair require stability and control—especially for locksmiths working with delicate immobilizer circuits or EEPROM chips. Our Soldering collection is meticulously curated to provide a steadfast foundation for your most exacting jobs. Each tool is built to help you maintain blade‑edges and tiny solder joints without the frustration of shifting parts or skewed angles.
Collection Overview
The Soldering collection features a specialized EEPROM Circuit Board Vise (MWCBV)—a rugged yet compact fixture designed for electronic locksmith work. This vise is ideal for securely holding circuit boards during soldering, desoldering, or chip‑level repair. With a 360° rotating base and precision-aligned jaws, it ensures reliable support while you focus your attention on micro‑soldering tasks. Whether you're reworking immobilizer circuits or repairing key PCB modules, the vise streamlines your workflow and prevents component damage. Built from resilient materials and designed for daily shop use, it’s the go‑to fixture for any locksmith dealing with fine electronic components.
EEPROM Circuit Board Vise / MWCBV
The EEPROM Circuit Board Vise (MWCBV) offers locksmiths unmatched control over small PCB components. Constructed from hardened steel and alloy, the vise ensures durability through constant heat exposure and repeated manipulation. Its jaws open wide enough for most board widths yet close with enough tension to prevent slipping. The top rotates a full 360°, letting you reposition your work without removing your hands from the soldering tools.
What makes this vise a locksmith essential? First, that precision movement—no wobble, no drift, and a smooth feel under your fingertips. Second, the removable plastic insert protects delicate PCBs from damage while still securing them firmly. Third, the base is weighted and rubberized to avoid accidental tipping or sliding, even when you're working on tight car-ECU housings.
For tasks like EEPROM reprogramming or ICU chip replacement, the stability allows for safer soldering iron contact and better heat transfer with less risk of lifting nearby pads. You’ll notice after a few uses: setup becomes smoother, rework errors drop, and your overall speed improves. No loose boards, no excessive movement—just rock-solid support.
The soldering vise also pairs well with hot air, soldering irons, and desoldering braid, offering versatility across the electronic toolset. It's compact enough for mobile locksmith vans yet durable enough for high-volume shop floors. Honestly, once you add this to your bench, it becomes harder to go back to free‑hand soldering.
Why This Collection Stands Out
This isn’t another generic soldering tool. The EEPROM Circuit Board Vise is purpose-built for microsoldering and locksmithing electronics. Most vises are clumsy and lack rotation, but this one delivers rock-solid stability and full articulation. It’s assembled with heat-resistant materials and protective jaw covers, designed to withstand soldering iron tips and desoldering heat.
You’ll see its value in smoother rework, fewer damaged boards, and faster turnaround—especially when programming or repairing immobilizer boards. It reduces stress, both on you and on the circuit. The precision fit and build quality reflect locksmith-grade standards, giving you confidence at every stage of repair.
