Electronic Lab 130-in-one Project Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased this for our daughter (8 yrs) and she loves it. It does a good job of explaining electronic concepts and allows for varying levels of experience to enjoy the projects. Everything you'll need is included and the experiments are flexible, progressive and "really cool".

Model VI Steam Engine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This little oscillating steam engine and boiler combination may seem a bit pricey. The parts are basically stock materials but they are machined precisely and assemble without trouble. Only simple hand tools are required. The boiler requires soldering with a torch. The instructions are complete and throrough.
The boiler uses Sterno for fuel, heats quickly, and is relatively reliable.
While not as pretty as some, it may be just the ticket for someone without access to a machine shop and a tenth the price. I have had mine for 11 years.

This item is NOT recommended for children without an adult to supervise the building process. There is a certain mystique attached to operating steam engines that is shared by no other form of motive power. Now you can experience this feeling with this ki

ELECTRONIC AM/FM RADIO KIT by Wow Toyz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great kit, really works. Some teeny little parts, so take a deep, cleansing breath before installing the transistors. Big advantage of this kit: no solder.
Vendor supplied, delivered promptly and in good condition.

This AM/FM Radio Kit is safe, solderless, educational, and fun. Little engineers will be fascinated as they learn how radios work while building one of their very own. Makes a great class or family project.

Build Your Own Radio Control Car Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This car is a well made product. The assemble is easy. You can see how the motors work. There is no gluing, the screws and wires are easy to tighten.
The only problem is that the right front wheel came out of it's place. So I switched the screw with the other one and it seems to stay.
I would reccomend this toy if your kids are into cars. This was a very fun toy for me.

Elenco AmeriKit Learn to Solder Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm 17 and I wanted to learn how to solder printed circuit boards. This is a great product that has (almost) everything you need to get started. The soldering iron melted the solder quickly, even though the solder was lead free. The instruction manual teaches you not just about soldering, but about the components in the kit. It teaches almost like a class, complete with detailed instructions and even quizzes you on what you have learned. In the end, the device you make is pretty useless, but here, its all about the journey not the destination.
I do have a few cons however. There is nothing included to clean the soldering tip like a small piece of sponge. I also could not get the soldering wick to work, so I would recommend also ordering a desoldering pump as well. also, it can be a bit tricky to solder without some kind of helping hand device. However, for less than $15, this is still a great bargain.
The value of this kit is great, however I'm sure that people would be willing to pay a bit more if it included something to clean the soldering tip and possibly a desoldering pump, however, with the value of this kit, adding those items to your order should be no problem.
All in all, I greatly recommend this product to anyone trying to dive into the world of electronics.
