Hi, We are in for the following test kit...its often more than 4 times cheaper from Ali Baba or "China-via-ebay" Do you know of problems with these items sourced from AliBaba Flux Leaded solder HV Diff probe Kynar wire Kynar stripper 100:1 probe Mains Safe block ESD mat with htab and cord/earth plug ESD wrist strap and plug/cord ESD footstrap Polyamide tape Transformer coil tubing 7/0.2mm wire Various Enamelled copper wire 0805 book isolation transformer 230/230...100VA to 2200VA |

Quality is random, and if you receive something sub-par, customer service is a long way from ebay standard. |
| TomKatt:
China is a crapshoot - you need to get by the product description lies before you can even begin ascertaining quality... Thank goodness I'm just a hobbiest - because I still do not know how to identify real copper wire from all the plated crap listed as solid copper. Even if the origin was China, if the use was commercial, I'd be sourcing from a place like Digikey etc. |

General rule is don’t buy anything that can kill you or you can’t afford to immediately throw away from China. Polyamide tape is usually ok though. |
