Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Customers like the performance, value, and damage of the lab supply. For example, they mention it works well, is cheap, and is a super useful chipset. Some appreciate the rugged and robust design.

Customers appreciate the value of the lab supply. They mention that it's a good product and cheap.
"...If there are a few bad ones, I guess I will suck it up. They are cheap...." Read more
"Great price, but packaged in plastic wrap...." Read more
"Lots of 555 timers for a low price. I have enough of these for a lifetime now." Read more
Customers are satisfied with the damage of the 555 timer. They mention that it is a rugged and robust product, and that the circuit seems to be of good quality.
"...in plastic film, but no defects in the first 12 I tested and none were damaged...." Read more

"...No pins were bent and have not seen or used a faulty part. No damages at all. Pins were protected via foam pads and were excellent...." Read more
"It's a rugged and robust 555 timer, what else can i say other than each chip has worked as expected...." Read more
You don't realize how small 555 chips are until you see them all packaged like this. I've built a few prototypes with these chips, and the chips have been working well for me. When the time comes, I would buy again.
These where weirdly packed, 50 of them stuffed into a piece of foam and then wrapped a few times in plastic film, but no defects in the first 12 I tested and none were damaged. Normally ICs like these come in a tube or something for greater protection, but I supposed this was eliminates a little waste. Otherwise, it's a 555... these things rule the world.
I haven't checked them all for function, but seem fine.
They are 555 timers. If there are a few bad ones, I guess I will suck it up. They are cheap. I only got them so that I can be cool on the intrawebz and tell peeps not to use a micro controller when a 555 will do and not feel like a hypocrite. I will probably still use a microcontroller though. Then I will fell bad and lose sleep, but at least I am being honest in this review.
All timers came well packaged together. No pins were bent and have not seen or used a faulty part. No damages at all. Pins were protected via foam pads and were excellent. The writting was a bit dim, but that should not be an issue in a well lit area and good storage. Would buy again.
I have not experienced any part failures from MCIGICM so far, even after exceeding their ratings and listed ratings of well known brands. The pins do bend easier then other brands but they preform as well. For the price you can't go wrong.
