This bundle consists of a good quality voltmeter plus a comprehensive selection of supplies and accessories that are often needed when debugging or developing basic electronic circuits. The package includes a sturdy plastic storage tub. While it is definately possible to build electronic circuits without these items, most "serious" students and hobbyists accumulate a similar collection of tools and supplies fairly quickly -- enduring a significant level of frustration and duplicate shipping charges as they figure out what they need. Manufacturer: BIZNODE.

Picture of productComplete Student / Hobbyists Super Tool Set


This bundle consists of one Basic Hand Tool Set, one Advanced Soldering Tool Set and one Electronic Meter and Test Lead Tool Set.

Its possible to build many robot and electronic projects using a small collection of tools that are often found around the house. Making do that way is often an economic necessity and can be part of the building challenge. When finances aren't an absolute limitation, accumulating one tool at a time lets you get exactly the quality and feel of tools that you prefer. We offer this tool set as a reasonable compromise. It includes a comprehensive set of tools and accessories that simplify building and eliminate the frustration, wasted car trips and extra shipping charges that often accompany accumulating tools one item at a time.

These are economical, good quality tools that will provide years of service if properly cared for. We use these tools at our own development and repair workbenches and in the classes we teach. The package includes two sturdy plastic storage tubs.
