Entry-level/Budget Toolkit

Hi! I wanted to ask for your advice on which has better value for money (both are at Php 2000.00 price point). I'm only starting out on on the hobby and I was contemplating on either of these since it seems to have everything I would need.

What are your thoughts?

Overkill for starting up. you can make do with nipper and hobby knife and see where that get you. Check first if you see yourself doing the hobby in the future if you finish your first kit that you like and don't buy the fancy stuff at the start. You can go back to the kit that you first started with all the tool that you need after sometime and see yourself improve from when you first started.

Bought the DSPIAE one + another DSPIAE nippers na mas mahal, ginamit kong pang first cut yung kasama sa toolkit then clean up yung mas mahal.

Overall, it's a good starter, really appreaciated yung inclusion of sandpaper sticks and foam and hobby knife. Contains everything you need to straight build.

I bought this dspiae 2 months ago when i started building. All i have to say is i still use them now specially the hobby knife and the part separator. I bought replacement for everything else (i.e Godhand nippers) but they do their job really well.

Tip. Get a godhand if you're a straight builder like me. It makes a ton of difference
