Default Re: One shot timer

I fitted my work desoldering bench with one of the pin type. It's simply used to stop stuff being left on overnight. There's an OFF pin at 6pm and that's it. When the kit is first needed (not necessarily every day), you simply use the manual ON override. If you forget to turn the individual tools off after use it all goes off at 6 and stays off till the next override. Not 100% idiot proof- the idiot may be working late- but a cost effective expensive bit preserver!
