I recently received the Chainmail Joe "Complete Chainmail Kit" as a gift and I have to say, I'm impressed.
Upon opening the box, I was greeted with pretty much everything needed to get started with chainmaille.
7 different sizes of rings in very adequate amounts
Hardware for creating items
Two pairs of pliers (a little on the small side - probably the only "negative" about the kit)
Size card to check ring sizes against if you wind up with loose rings
and a book with instructions on how to make 20 different weaves (I personally consider it 18 weaves as 2 of them are just "kinged" versions of other weaves in the book.)
If you're looking to test out chainmaille to see if it's for you, you could definitely do a lot worse than buying this kit. I can totally recommend it without any hesitation.
