“The Piggyaxe Joule Thief Kit is fairly easy to assemble. The PCB is of very good quality, there are only 6 parts to be soldered (no coils have to be wound) and the manual is well written. The manual has to be downloaded from the vendors web page, a paper print isn't included. The Joule Thief flash light isn't as bright as ordinary commercial flash lights nowadays, but it runs on "empty" batteries (!) and has a nice case with switch. The shipment arrived after 2 days here in Switzerland (DHL courier). Unfortunately, the kit had included the wrong LEDs (red 5mm) instead of bright white 3mm LEDs. After getting back at the customer service, the right LEDs arrived after 1 week (free of charge). Summary: the kit is a good project for beginners, with good value for money. It is not very bright but it comes complete with a nice case.”

“When ever I have bought from Rapid they have lived up to their name on delivery, and although they stock a subset of parts available at other distributors, what they do stock is usually cheaper than elsewhere. They are also a good source of educational parts that are otherwise hard to find. I have no hesitation recommending Rapid Electronics to anyone considering them.”

“I've dealt with this company since their catalogue was about 30 pages. Over the years they have been very innovative and still sell a lot of quality products but some items are cheap and not so cheerful if you know the market.”
