You gotta wait forever for it to get hot enough to actually use and if you don't, you half-desolder and that's even more annoying to deal with. I broke like 10% of the switches lol.
This was mostly a hobby type thing, to move the switches to a new modular keyboard. The soldering iron is OK in a pinch, but I wouldn't buy it again knowing what I know now, at least not for longer jobs like this. If you're only splicing together a couple wires for a car radio etc, maybe consider just using a torch.
YOu'd probably want to get more tips of various kinds and better solder, flux, and and solder wick.
I've used it plenty of times and its been perfectly fine. Nice that the iron seems to be a standard diameter.
Not sure how accurate / calibrated the temp wheel is but adjustable is a plus.

It's how I picked it up and did some really nice mods to some retro video game consoles...
Meter
Soldering Iron
Tester
Heat gun
All came with a huge assortment of supplies (So much heat shrink....)
All shipped for ~7 after tax
Keep your lighter for other uses.
The extras in the kit are best to think of as emergency supplies. For more delicate jobs I got better solder and especially flux. I found the included solder suckerer essentially useless, and got a dedicated cheap desoldeing pump when I needed to remove large numbers of components. Etc etc, but overall the kit is a great place to get started, and to learn what accessories you'll end up wanting for various jobs and why. And the iron is nothing too complain about for $8-$10 on its own
