In the basement of my childhood house, I started playing with electronics.
I was lucky, as my father loved tools and had the basement full of them,
But I didn’t really need many tools for electronics.
Actually…
If you just want to build some circuits – as cheap as possible – all you really need is a breadboard.
Which I’m not even sure would classify as a “tool”.
With a breadboard, you can buy components and breadboard wires and connect a lot of cool and interesting circuits.
In my book Electronics For Kids, almost all the projects are built on a breadboard:

But let’s say you want to take it one step further – what would you need?
In my opinion, these are the must-have tools:
* Soldering iron (https://amzn.to/2xBqO1p)
* Multimeter (https://amzn.to/2QTUyhY)
* Wire cutters (https://amzn.to/2pt38HM)
Those are the tools I used when starting out.
And it’s also what I still use most of the time.
Each of these items can cost less than $10 and works fine for many, many hobby projects.
With these in hand, let’s get started!
