i bought mine locally at the aldi

since they were like 4.99 each

RIP

No Aldis in Cuckistan. 😦

Only (((IKEA))).

aldi is the best at importing chink shit and somehow making it cheaper

they'll just get a pallet or two of some random item and sell it out in a few hours

and then never restock it

in my experience aldi "special buys" are kind of over priced actually. getting a bargain seems rare, though i'm sure it happens

they're almost always cheaper when it's about big or heavy items

There's the odd Lidl around here. That's the closest I get to 🇩🇪 these days.

That said, they do have some alright deal on chink shit.

it's literally this one

they were selling them for €4.99

If they don't outright match in price, they very much surpass in convenience.

i bought 3 and got a 4th for free because the outside was a bit cracked

Sweet.

I bought component boxes from some dollar store type dealie here.

i like these too

http://www.ebay.com/itm/231591200477

Aye. I've been eyeing the smaller ones.

Some guys on YT say they're shite for really tiny SMD components though.

Since there's a tiny gap between the lid and the lip of the box.

through hole resistors and the like should fit in these too

Oh aye, it's like... half a mil gap at most.

im not sure why you wouldn't just keep SMD components on the roll they came on

@fully-autismatic Comfy has a c hink toothpick crossbow

That exact one ?

@Goz3rr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0CvjyuJ5OA skip the first minute or so.

no

Because that shit looks like I could take on at least a shit hole African country with it

@kontroll yeah but what hobbyist in their right mind uses parts that small

looks like 0201 or 0402

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i think the smallest parts i have are 0603

do you know those transistor tester kits

I don't even have a hot air gun, let alone a reflow oven, so it's not a real concern for me in any case.

that was fun to solder

it did work in the end so that was nice
