Bought this kit from an earlier deal. It's a great all in one option to do the occasional soldering mod or repair, nothing fancy, but has most of what you need. Only other things I've added for a couple of more involved jobs are desoldering braid and some flux.

Good reviews overall. Even at full price, it's hard to believe that they can make any profit on this kit!

Higher wattage heating elements don't cost more than lower wattage.

If this is temperature controlled, as the dial implies, a high wattage heating element allows quicker warmup and quicker recovery after soldering large wires. The heating element is cycled on and off, so there is little downside.

One minor downside of this type of iron is that the power cord is thick, stiff and a bit dangerous. It's carrying 120V so the insulation needs to be thick. The usual insulation is PVC, so even the thick insulation is vulnerable to melting through to the wire almost instantly. Better soldering irons have a control box so that the soldering iron section can be supplied with 24V through a thinner flexible cable.

Are these good? I have an old radio shack soldering iron that I think is a 15w. Would love to have a temp adjustable one but I worry the min temp will be too high.

if you believe the dial markings the min. Is about 390*F.

This thing definitely needs a better stand though. There's another burn mark on my workbench just waiting to happen. 🙄

I've had this same soldering iron for over a year and it's been fine. I highly recommend getting one of those wire sponge/ball tip cleaners. They're amazing. You just poke it a few times and the tip comes out clean and ready to go every time.

They're all over Amazon if you search for soldering tip cleaner. To be clear, it's not actually a sponge but rather a fluffy wire ball.
