Replacement:TOL-11031. We've removed some of the lesser-used tools from the new kit to make it more useful and accessible. This page is for reference only.

This box of tools is a happy medium between the beginner and deluxe tool kits. Most of the tools necessary to assemble, solder, and troubleshoot your projects are included here. These tools tried and true - used here at SparkFun on a daily basis.

**Note: **The solder spool in this kit is leaded. We prefer using leaded solder on prototypes or other non-production type things - it's easier to work with (flows better). If you're new to soldering, the leaded solder will make things a bit easier.
