This set of resistors is the perfect starter kit for any electronics hobbyist. Even an avid tinkerer/engineer will find this price near impossible to beat. At about $20, you have practically all necessary resistors neatly organized into bags in a small, space saving, box. My only wish is that they start providing higher wattage sets! ---- Update: I've been running into tolerance issues with these resistors. Here's an example: A 680k resistor reading at 734k. On the high-side of 1%, this resistor should be reading at 687k. Now if the product stated 10% tolerance, we'd be alright. I'm also not a fan of how flimsy the leads are coming from the resistor. Looks like the adage "too good to be true" may hold weight here. ---- Update: I've gone through the tedious task of measuring each of the 86 values in this set and here are my results: 470 ohm - 2% variance 1.5k ohm - 2% variance 100k ohm - 2% variance 270k ohm - 2% variance 470k ohm - 3% variance 330k ohm - 10% variance 680k ohm - 10% variance 5.6M ohm - 30% variance (only one of the resistors read this high, the others hit 1% as expected) The 2% variance, while out of spec, shouldn't be a concern. The 330k and 680k, however, are way off. One of the 5.6M resistors read a whopping 30% off. I'm wondering if there's quality control issues from this batch. Joe has offered to replace the sets that are out of range. I appreciate this greatly. It is more important to me in dealing with a business to see that the business cares about its product than getting a faulty item. In this case, I'd like to see the new batch arrive with the thicker leads as promised and with greater QC. Also, again, higher wattage sets!
