00:00If you are tired of squinting at tiny numbers or trying to read faded color bands that seem to
00:04change depending on the lighting, you are in the right place. I went down the rabbit hole to find
00:09the absolute best deals on resistor kits specifically for breadboarding, and I found
00:145 absolute winners that will keep your workbench stocked for years. Whether you are just starting
00:19out or you are a seasoned maker, having a solid assortment of 1% metal film resistors is essential
00:24for clean, accurate signals, so let's look at the top 5 kits you can grab right now.

00:35absolute beast. This thing comes with 130 different values, meaning you will basically never hit a
00:41roadblock in a project again. These are 1 slash 4 watt, 1% tolerance resistors, so they are perfect
00:48for precision work. At $15.17, it sounds like a chunk of change, but when you break it down,
00:55you are paying a fraction of a cent per component. With over 4,900 sold and a 4.8 star
01:01rating,
01:02this is the buy it once and forget it option for your bench. If you want something a bit more
01:07manageable but still need variety, check out this 600 piece kit from the second option.
01:12It offers 30 values ranging from 10 ohms all the way up to 1 megam, which covers about 95%

01:48330, or 4.7K ohms that the smaller kits sometimes skimp on. It's still the standard 1 quarter watt,
01:561% precision metal film, so you know your voltage dividers will be accurate.
02:01Priced at $7.04, it's a small investment for a huge jump in inventory, and the 4.9 star rating
02:08proves that people love the high precision of these specific sets. For the budget-conscious beginner,
02:13this next option is practically a steal at just $3.54. You get 300 pieces covering the same 30

02:56like 1K, 10K, 100K, and 1M. It's crazy affordable at $3.70, and the quality control seems spot-on
03:05with a 4.8 star rating. If you want to fill up your organizer box with the most common
03:11values without spending a lot, this is a fantastic choice to grab alongside your next component order.
