Got this same kit for $11 like 6 months ago, to desolder the switches on an old keyboard.
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.

Looks like you get a bunch of stuff for a good price. Might want to switch out the holder though. If not, at least buy a tip cleaning wire mesh. They're usually inexpensive and are better for the tip than using water. Especially one like this that probably heats slowly.

I have one of these and it works pretty well. A lot of the addons are useless. Like the wirestripper, screwdrivers, tape, etc. It looks like they provide a really crappy stand now too.

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.

Appears to be a great kit for a beginner. I've always wanted to try, and for $10, I can ruin some electronics.
Get some junk boards and play with it, Spend some time on YouTube on how to solder.

It's how I picked it up and did some really nice mods to some retro video game consoles...

I got this with some odd sale a few months back for ~$7. It had a promotion that you could get a free heat gun if you bought it. The heat gun had a promotion that you could get a free multimeter, The multimeter had a promotion that you could get a free non contact tester.....

Meter
Soldering Iron
Tester
Heat gun
All came with a huge assortment of supplies (So much heat shrink....)
All shipped for ~7 after tax

Use a lighter
Butane makes heat shrink brittle and can accelerate oxidation on certain solder joints.

Keep your lighter for other uses.

I never understood this mentality. Buying a cheap impossible to use unit as a beginner? Not only will you ruin stuff it will ruin you for good soldering and possibly cause a fire. Spend $80 on a digital 60+ watt Hakko.
$80 is prohibitive for some and this kit is perfectly fine to learn with. Why gatekeep this…

This has been my go to iron for the past couple of years, including some fairly extensive little builds and modifications. The iron is totally fine. If you're soldering every day, then yeah, a more expensive iron will have quality of life advantages in terms of speed, consistency etc, but fundamentally they do the same thing.

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
