“This is a great set to start with. We are just beginning and I love having all the tools. I do not know exactly what to do with them yet or how to use meter but will learn.”
“I ordered this for my teenage son. So far he is enjoying it. The kit comes with everything one would need to learn how to solder and understand basic electronics. Some of the utensils included are a waste. They should remove the yellow handled tools that do nothing and replace with more circuit boards for learning or maybe some wick or flux.”
“I got this kit hoping to learn how to solder and exactly that happened. It comes with a small test kit as well as a holder, solder, and some extra materials to help get you started.”
“I never review products simply based on the fact I am not getting paid for it. That said, I wanted to write a short spiel on this one in particular. The kit is great, fantastic really. I discovered though that they send 'lead free solder.' This stuff is JUNK. You have to get the iron all way to the top to get this to melt. This poses a problem for most PCB (printed circuit boards). I more than once melted the contact pad off of the practice area of the circuit board. Once I discovered the junky solder and high heat settings, I went and picked up some good old fashioned 73/27 solder. This stuff melts at a lower point, and it does not get the board or components as hot as fast. It is a good basic set to teach you how to solder. I would recommend it for anyone old enough to understand the dangers of how the iron gets.”
