## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Quality and fun for projects.
  

*by G***2 on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2016*

Used this for a mini portable solder fume extractor (found on Adafruit's site) and it was a joy to build.  Not really a whiz when it comes to electronics, but the tutorial they had made it very simple.  I plan on buying one or two more to do other projects.  Great little electronic gadget.
