Finally usable wire!

This AWG-30 wire is really nice. The insulation is pretty heat resistant and most importantly it doesn't shrink! Works perfectly with my new ST-500 stripper.

Lets see...

if these desiccant pouches are still any good.

Who would? Would you? Surely not ?!? It's very considerate to mention on the pouch that you can bake it and make it 'all new' again.

A lot of effort for just 2 chips. This box was vacuum sealed in a shielding bag with desiccant.

Just two - ATtiny84

A lot of effort for just 2 chips. This box was vacuum sealed in a shielding bag with desiccant. I was planning to use these a replacements for two ATtiny24s (more code space), but unfortunately the free pins I was intending to use are on the same pin-change interrupt pin-group.

The color change is reversible. It can be restored with a hair dryer.

Not mine. I just ordered them. I'm curious what the recipients will do with them.

The ST-500 works nicely

Stripping AWG-30 wire-wrap material works beautifully. I've had to play with the thickness setting a bit. The green wire has a bit thicker insulation and I had to set the dial to AWG-26 or 28.

Hrmph!

I don't care what the plastic tube looks like, but don't hurt the chips!

Dial set to AWG-28. Insert the wire, press the yellow levers and pull. Works very reliably, if the thickness is set correctly.

The depth gauge is a nice feature. It works very well with the AWG-30 wire-wrap material I have. Stripping stranded wire works too. No problem with solid-core "bread-board" wire as well.
