Description: We picked our very best tools and put together the expert's kit.

These are absolutely the tools we use on a daily basis.

Want to begin making, but don't know what tools you need to start?

This kit has what you need!

Note: The solder spool in this kit is leaded. We prefer using leaded solder on prototypes or other non-production type things - it's easier to work with (flows better). If you're new to soldering, the leaded solder will make things a bit easier.
