Ltvystore2425pcs 97 Values 1 ohm - 1M ohm 1/8W Metal Film Resistors Assortment Kit Assorted Set

The seller indicates these are 5% resistors but a random set of measurements with 4-wire leads on a Siglent SDM3055 with an accuracy around .04% shows these 1/8W resistors to be well within +/- 1% tolerance. I think the seller is just being conservative in case you get a few that are a little above 1%. I did initially get a few random measurements between 1.6% and 1.8% but when I removed the test leads and measured again the result was below 1%. Probably got a better grip on the resistor leads the second time around.This is a good value on a good set of 1/8W resistors. I didn't get the 33 Ohm resistors on the list but I did get a set of 360 Ohm resistors which weren't on the list. Fair trade that worked for me. Instead of 2425 pieces I got 2428 pieces due to a few of the taped sections having an extra resistor. That was the only variance from the description. But I did get the promised 97 different values between 1 Ohm and 1 Meg-Ohm which is great. This assortment was a big win for me.

I received the full compliment of 2425 resistors as advertised with no duplicate values. Each strip of 25 resistors is marked with value. Tolerance is marked on resistors as 1%. Testing random samples from the set confirms this.

The values have been correct on the ones I've used.The labeling isn't great but it works.Mine weren't in the correct order so I have to shuffle through them to find what I need.

At less than a penny per resistor, I didn't expect to much, but for several projects, I needed resistors on my board smaller than standard 1/4 W. These 1/8 W resistors indeed were tiny enough. Again, with 2425 resistors, 97 values 24 each value, for only $18 it seemed like a bargain. However when I randomly started checking actual values compared to what they should be, I was finding many, especially on lower values, to be far from the 5% tolerance advertised. Many were over 10% off, and some as much as 20%. I resorted to checking values close to the one I wanted, to find one exactly the value I needed. Given the loose tolerances, often the next value up or down had what I needed. Then, to make things even a little less palatable, many of them didn't have bright clean leads as you would expect, but were a bit tarnished. Not rusty yet, but certainly looks as if they had been sitting somewhere for years. Not a big deal, as most of the lead gets snipped off after soldering to the board, but when you buy resistors you expect new bright clean metal leads.

TL;DR version: spend a half hour sorting and re-labeling after you get it delivered, and you have a great variety of resistors at your fingertip for a very fair price.I will start off with the good, by saying - I think this is a pretty decent value for your money. A great wide assortment of resistors, and I got everything that I was supposed to get. It will be very handy to have this wide of a selection available for future projects.Now, the slightly bad...- The groups of different values came taped together, but were labeled by hand, written on the tiny paper tape. And they used R and K to distinguish the base values from the kilo-ohm values. Well guess what? Written small and near the edge of the tape, an R and a K look VERY VERY similar. Was that an R that ran slightly off the edge, or was that a K written near the edge? I went through and re-wrote about half for future reference. (yes, I know they all have color coding for resistor value, but the indicator colors on this blue background really challenged my poor old-person eyes).- I noted on the positive side that you get a wide variety for your money. The downside of that is that this big bundle of taped resistors was in absolutely no order at all - it looked like the electronic component version of the aftermath of 52 card pickup. While I was relabeling the values to be more clear, I took the time to sort everything into order so I could locate specific values quicker in the future.If the labeling had been more clear, and they had been grouped in some sort of order, I probably would have pulled the trigger on 5 stars here. For the price and quality, it was worth 30 minutes of my time to tidy things up.

As an electronics technician I love things that do what they are supposed to do. I spot checked multiple values of resistors and they were spot on in accuracy and tolerance which is sometimes hard to find in items ordered online. thanks for a great assortment.

As soon as I got these I metered several of them and the figures are all spot on. They're just what I needed.

1 ohm resistors, not mismarked, measured 1.5 ohms using lab calibrated ohm meter. Some others okay, but lots of variability. For an experimenter or if you are willing to hand sort to find what you need, these are an okay deal. I worry that if resistors that are 50% off target passed their quality checks…what other surprises are in store for me. Okay for prototype use, I would not use these for repair or production. I returned them, will see if the next batch they send are any better.

I bought a few of these hobbyist grade resistor sets. And I wrote extended comments on these resistor sets, because they probably come from the same place and, hence, are prone to the same issues, and this one is not an exception.Essentially, two things:1/ this set, like many others on AM, uses 5-band colour code and claims 1% tolerance (last Brown band) for nominals of two significant values (e.g. 7.5; 8.2; 9.1), and for such case IEC 60062:2016 standard requires the use of 4-band code with 5% tolerance (last Golden band) and E24 value coverage, i.e. 24 values per decade. Therefore, this set, just like the previous one, does not follow this standard (random number of values per decade and tolerance up to 5%), most likely because its made on a substandard equipment and, hence, doesn't follow the standard manufacturing process. So expect unrated oxidation and contamination of materials, and substandard reliability. Which means, do not use them in any mission-critical equipment, where component failure can be fatal.2/ however, this IS a resistor set - some value coverage; some number of values per decade, missing many critical values, because its not a standard E24 series, but its some bunch of resistors. You can combine different values in parallel or in series, to increase the coverage of the missing values. So its not a complete throw-away, but there is some usability to it.Just know what you're using it for and disregard all the marketing blurb listed on the product page.UpdateForgot to mention, this the set arrived unsorted, poorly marked and random values missing from different decades. In other words, there's no pre-defined number of values and which values per decade, it seems random. However, combined with the first time set, it didn't matter much.I must also mention, that first time (a year ago), the set arrived in durable plastic box, with values pre-sorted with each value in a separate small plastic bag with the nominal marked on it. One year later, the same set did not include a plastic storage container, was not pre-sorted, whatever nominal is marked may be wrong, with many loose resistors around the bag the set arrived in.I thought people should know how the product evolved over a year.
