Building tools: Should I buy a kit or piecemeal?

[ADDicT]

I was under the impression that the reader was good, maybe I'll just stick to checking coils on my DNA mod if that is the case.

Has anything survived?

The coil windy thing is still going strong, love that

oh, and the tweezer handle, bought new tips for that

I’ve bought bits separately. It felt a bit indulgent to buy a whole kit when I wasn’t sure I was going to commit to it. I got a handy coil-windy thing with an rta @rew very kindly sent me, and I already had some quality (sewing) scissors, I got some wire cutters, and that got me started.

you’d be better to get stuff separate, i would say. all you really need is scissors, snips and some toothpicks. most atties come with a wee screwdriver, allen key or whatever is needed to sort it out.

You're over thinking it mate. Get some snips and a drill bit. Some sharp small scissors.
It's a little peice of wire, not a mission to Mars.

I’ve had my CM kit for a few years now, and it’s still going strong, apart from the Ohm Measure thing, fine for burning your coils, but the ohm reading was never that accurate on it. Besides, you have all your coil stuff in a handy case.

100% recommend one of these, esp. for mtl coils
