Good quality components and totally worth it for beginners, no sense penny pinching and going through the ordeal of sourcing all of these as a first timer. Edit: After getting half way through the book experiments and using the kit more, I stand by my original review, this kit is outstanding for a newbie starting out. But there are some flaws, I will describe 2 of them here: 1. One of the early experiments in the classic "make a battery with a lemon" experiment, and it requires a copper electrode and a galvanized steel electrode. These can be acquired as coated screws in most hardware stores, but they are not included in the kit. No mention is made of this anywhere so I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure this out. 2. One of the experiments requires a 10(uf) ceramic capacitor. This is not included, there is only a 10(uf) electrolytic capacitor. This may seem dumb, but for electrolytics unlike ceramics have polarity, so which way do you fit them in? This is not covered because the book uses ceramics where it doesn't matter. If you have a couple of these in your circuit and you are a newbie, it will take a while to figure out. It strikes me that some compromises were made without explaining them to the user. Overall its a great kit, I went ahead and bought the next one as well (Make: More Electronics) so this is not a deal breaker. But it would be great if these compromises could be explained on the product page so I can acquire all I need at once. I am further shipping all this stuff home to South America so doing the shopping piecemeal as I discover what parts are missing is expensive and slow. Customer service is OUTSTANDING. Just make clear whats not in the pack guys. Review: Great Kit - Buy a better multimeter - I spent hours searching for components on the sites listed in the book and got nowhere. Some of the tools in the kit are not great quality, but glad they were included and cost of the kit was likely a factor. The multimeter he uses (photo on pg 5) is a BK precision 388B and is $175. Ouch. But, the multimeter in the kit doesn't have the basic settings you will need to do all of the experiments. Also, the soldering iron has a screw near the tip which will make it challenging to find a stand that will work. I recommend getting the kit first and then looking for a stand to avoid having to do a return. Great carrying box and super convenient to have all the parts you need clearly labeled. Have fun! ## Features - Geared for beginners Make: Electronics 3rd Edition is the top educational book for students through professional adults wanting to learn basic electronics and circuit design. - Designed for the updated rewritten 3rd Ed update of Make: Electronics (2023 - Charles Platt).

Have fun! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Convenient pack that goes with book *by J***S on November 23, 2023* Seems that it's a bit pricey for what you get, but it does come with a solder, multimeter, and container. I bought both kits, the 1st and the 2nd, and managed to fit everything but the two tools mentioned above into the same kit container. So there's that. It's supposed to be everything you need for the first few chapters. Mine was missing a few things, but when I contacted the company, they sent the missing items and a few others as a bonus. That was pretty cool, and enough to send it from four stars to five. Sure, there are cheaper kits out there, and I bought a few for my "outside" projects (projects outside of the book), but they are just parts, sometimes containers - and very random. Overall, I'm glad I got this set, and the book that accompanies it (or vice versa)... helps to make it easier for a procrastinator like me. ## Frequently Bought Together - Make: Electronics Third Edition Kit 1 Deluxe - Beginner, Intermediate, & Advanced (Teen - Adult) Component Pack That Follows The Experiments in Make: Electronics 3rd Ed by Charles Platt - Make: Electronics: Learning by Discovery: A hands-on primer for the new electronics enthusiast - Encyclopedia of Electronic Components Volume 3: Sensors for Location, Presence, Proximity, Orientation, Oscillation, Force, Load, Human Input, Liquid ...
