Review on πŸ” GXG-1987 AS8700A Handheld Carbon Monoxide Meter: High Accuracy 0-1000PPM CO Gas Detector with LCD Backlit Display - Yellow by Marvin Perry

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good price but a bit sloppy packaging

Delivery was fast. I deducted two stars for the following (minor) reasons: the resistors are unevenly cut from the tape and reel, and the values are written on the corner of the tape in sloppy handwriting. Some resistors fall off the edge of the strip. They are stacked in two piles in a box and are in a completely random order. As such, they need to be sorted before use, which isn't a big deal if you know the color coding system and have good lighting and a magnifying glass. The color codes are in a 5 band coding system versus the more traditional 4 band system. I only got 63 values instead of the promised 64. Plus, it's still worth the price and a great way to get a set of defaults for your parts box.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • unreliable
