EYE on NPI – DIGIKEY STANDARD Tool Kit #EYEonNPI #DigiKey @DigiKey
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”.
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.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
