Found this while browsing for a replacement soldering tip. You need to make a purchase of $350 or more. Also there are multiple codes, I found the plier set code.
Dude, companies order like $500+ worth of stuff from element14 every week.
Their gifts are pretty nice too. Last time I got a raspberry pi.
I'm pretty sure companies make millions of $$$$ per week as well.
It's usually the hobbiest technician or the Asian soldering master in the back room who does the orders and keeps the gifts. I like to tag along on these orders too.

So what.
@FIVEDOLLAR: Read between the lines mate.
The person making the order generally keeps the gift.
The person making the order != the company spending millions of $$.
If I needed to make an electronics order of $350+ for a company, I'd consider going through element14, and getting the free gift.
Assuming they aren't overpriced for the items I needed.

So you don't know if it's a bargain or not.
The person making the order to enjoy the gifts needs a company spending millions of $$$.
Gift != Bargain.
@FIVEDOLLAR: Last time I checked, 100% off an item was a pretty good bargain.
It's more akin to a targeted bargain. If targeted deals are allowed, I see no reason why this shouldn't be..
@mahdoo: Yeah 100% off an item… After $350.
Like saying harvey normal is a bargain because I got a free sales service going into the store.
How did you get the raspberry pi?
aaaaaaaaaaaages ago. They had a promotion if you bought certain equipment.
If the bonus item pictures are accurate, then this is the plier set ($17.07): https://au.element14.com/duratool/d00122/set-mini-plier-5pc/…
I fail to see how this is a deal.
