This week’s EYE ON NPI (video) is going double-or-nothing, not only is this segment brought to you by DigiKey, the product this week is also from DigiKey: it’s the DIGIKEY STANDARD Tool Kit DKS-TK1 an all-in-one pack that contains tools and accessories to make electronics assembly and repair a breeze.
Part of DigiKey’s new branding is stocking some of their own designs under the “DigiKey Standard” name.
For example, DK has their own line of battery holders, project prototyping boxes, and heat shrink amongst others. This product is reminiscent of our “Ladyada Toolkit“, a $100 pack for folks who kept asking us how to “get started soldering and assembling Adafruit kits”.
Included is…
- Hakko Blue 508 soldering iron with conical SMT tip installed. An extra tip is also included. 120V 40W US plug
- Soldering iron rest with sponge
- Wire solder – 0.8mm diameter, 50 g
- Solder Wick – 2mm wide 5ft long
- Solder Sucker
- Screwdriver Kit – with Philips 00, 0 and 1 plus Flathead 2mm, 2.4mm and 3mm
- CAT III multimeter with leads, for resistance, continuity, voltage, and current measurement. A 9V battery is also included and should be installed before usage
- Fancy Wire stripper – with slots for 10 AWG through 24 AWG
- Wire Cutters
- Needle Nose Pliers
- Rugged hinged tote with labeled slots for all items
All together, a great starter kit for a student, school, technician or maker who needs a little bit of everything. In particular we like that DigiKey splurged on a Hakko quality iron and gives you an extra soldering tip!
If you are looking for a great starter kit for a maker or engineer, or just want to outfit your workshop or office with a repair kit that can put together or take apart electronics, the Digikey Standard Tool Kit is in stock right now for immediate shipment. Order today and it will ship immediately so you can start soldering by tomorrow afternoon.
