This is a nice soldering kit, it comes with practically all the basic things you need to start soldering. The delivery is nice and the heat is good enough with a temperature control. Comes with multiple heads for different uses, but in my opinion, the useful of these are limited.Heats up relatively fast. Easy to use and in general would be a great starter kit for people learning to solder.A roll of thin solder comes with it, and thin solder is much easier to use for beginners. Has a stand for the soldering iron so you can put it down in between using it, although I must say, the stand can be done a little better for sturdier placement.Length of the cable is decent, so the reach is quite good.Need serious soldering? I wouldn't suggest this, because it doesn't feel like it would last long. The hold on it feels somewhat weak, so it doesn't feel durable. Also, the pictures are quite misleading on what this should be used for, in my opinion, because I would choose something more reliable.During use, do mind children around and I wouldn't suggest children using this, as it can get really hot, which is dangerous and can cause fires if not careful.Overall, this is a very comprehensive kit and it's good enough for small uses. £18.97 is far too expensive though, considering this is a 9-in-1 kit and the same brand offers kits with more items, 10-in-1 kit and 14-in-1 kit that are cheaper, hence why a definitive star was knocked off for this.

We've used this a few times and we're really impressed with the heat up time and the temperature control. We found the tips a little difficult to tin at first, but otherwise this seems to be quite a good quality soldering iron for the price.We were a little bit concerned about the stand, but put this in place of an old soldering iron that had a much better stand than the one supplied. All in all it's a good value item that heated up well, has good temperature control and came with the bonus of a reel of solder. We've only taken a star off because the stand could be better.

I ordered this product as in my spare time I like to tinker about with old laptops and Ipads and smartphones and to return them to there former glory.Arrived well pacakged in a plain brown box.When I opened the box I was plesently surprised that there looked to be a lot of things in the box.The design of the product looked practical, with a non-slip silicone cover on the handle making it easy to grasp and non slippy.I thought the soldering iron was straight forward and simple to use it has 5 mutli tip heads and a digital temperature gauge ranges from 80-480℃(176-896℉).This great value pack comes with every thing you need to get you started.The price of this item definitley makes is value for money.I would recommend this product.Overall, great value for your money.

This really is a great little kit and heats up very quickly I’m very impressed with this kit. Is very easy to use and heats up fast and I manage to repair my glasses frame. Very useful and great price includes everything you need to repair and fix things at home. Very happy with this kit. Would definitely recommend it.

Best soldering iron I have purchased. Flexible heat control that allows greater control with easy to read display. Gets up to temp quickly and the additional heat tools provide even more options.

When I First Received This & Opened The Long Slim Box.. I Thought, OMG! .. They Sent Me A Toy! Really is Slim, But Don't Let That Fool You.. This 90W - 80c to 480c Soldering Iron Is Perfectly Capable of Tackling Any Soldering Job , Slim Tip & Iron are Perfect for Fine Circuit Board Work + You Get 5 Extra Soldering Tips of varying Sizes & Shape to Tackle a Variety of Different Situations.You actually get quite a lot for your money in the box.. The 5 Tips Mentioned, 50g Reel of 0.7 Rosin Core Solder Wire, A little Solder Iron Stand & A Sponge Pad you dampen to Clean Tips.. May be Small & not the Best, but it'll do you fine for a bit. A Spanner for Iron to Change Tips & Instructions.The Iron Features ON/Off Button, a Clear LCD Screen with Large Blue Bright easy to See & Read Digits. A Button to Increase Temp Range & Also One to Decrease.. The Temps Seem Pretty Accurate too.. Also Goes To Sleep & Turns Off after 15 Minutes if Left Uncared for!I Found it rather good in use, both soldering & de-soldering. Equally as good as my Large Solder Rework Station.. Without the hassle of Dragging it out & assembling it. Bit more Quicker & Convenient. Its also Great to Control the Temperature precisely for the job at hand! All Good.I just Noticed before posting, some unlucky buyers have had them go 'Pop'.. Mine has been fine.. Touch Wood! .. So Far! Used it on about 6 occasions in the last 2 weeks. I will keep my eye on it & report back if any issues arise. Hope Not.. as I do like it, it would be a shame to lose it.Being an electrician.. I know if something electrical is going to go, It will either be D.O.A, Go Bang as soon as turned on, or fail certainly within hours/24hrs.. or first week.. generally you'll be fine after that.. not ruling out being unlucky after with component failure! Mass Production for you & sometimes inferior components/design!Still a Hassle though :(I will rate mine as 4 Star for Now, dropped a star out of concern, as seems a few have had issues.. But mine is perfectly fine and works very well, i will use more & alter if need be.

Soldering Iron Kit Solder Gun, Welding Tools with Digital-Controlled LCD Screen is a pretty basic kit to fix or connect loose electronics, circuit boards, jewellery or other small items.Here are my thoughts about this product:PROS- It has all the basic tools, like a small wrench, iron stand and soldering tips to complete a simple soldering project- It has 90 wattage which means it's more than enough to use, and it heats up pretty fast and quickly regains its normal heating temperature after use.- It has an LCD screen big enough to see the temperature.- Adjustable temperature that can be used either in soldering or desoldering.- Lightweight and ergonomic. It somehow feels 'cheap', but for me, as long as it works as how I need it for a long period of time, I'd be fine.- It comes with different tips depends on how on your needs.- It heats up less than a minuteCONS- The tools it came with are just like 'meh'. As I mentioned, this set feels 'cheap', but the soldering pencil is efficient anyway. I'm not using the iron stand. It doesn't look secure and safe compared to the heating base with rings.Anyhow, this soldering iron performs well. It's affordable and comes with basic tools.

If you need to do some soldering and don't have the gear to do it this kit has it all included, I have only tried this out once and it quickly heated up to temperature, and trying it on some old wire it did the job, I'm not sure about the the digital display, I managed years without that function but for some it could be useful, I just think it could be something to go wrong at some point hopefully not though, does what it's designed for so good enough.

Materials:Solder has a plastic handle, that is covered in rubber for precise finger grip.Plastic On/Off button.Plastic temperature gauge controller, with listed temperature levels.Solder heating element is fully made from aluminum/steel.The kit I received Had a brand new set of Soldering wire, soldering paste, solder holder and 5 different metal heads.Overall I'm happy with it, the solder heats up quickly and holds selected temperature. It has a standard security fuse at the socket plug. The great thing about this bundle is that you get everything you will ever need as a beginner and intermediate micro technician.My only remarks would be related to the solder plastic buttons, they don't feel fully secure and free play a bit. But its nothing serious in the end.

Have always fancied soldering. This little kit is excellent. It has everything you need to solder straight away. Has instructions, all equipment, and a lovely compact case. I had a quick go and didn't burn either myself or the house, so that's a plus. I want to have a go at jewellery making, so this will be ideal.

This is a great set, included is just about everything you’ll need for a soldering job, Its not up to professional standard but its a great price.You receive the iron which has 5 heads you can change, solder wire, plus lots of extra bits that you’ll need.It works well, as I say its not a professional one, but its doing the job just perfectly, heats up to the correct temperature, and fixes perfectlyA great value set, ideal for hobbies or occasional use, I’m really impressed with what you get.

The LCD screen is what drew me to this ironIt is big and easy to see.You need to get used to what the buttons do. (The instruction leaflet is quite small with miniscule text)The orange one is the power button.Long press for on....Long press for off.The grey one is the plus button for going up the temperatures and the green is the minus for going down.It can change between 80 and 480 c ,so lots of range.When on, Press the plus and minus for 1 degree changes or longer press for longer amounts.Let go when the correct temp and it flashes to save itIt keeps whatever was saved last..There is a potentiometer on the circuit board to adjust if it is off temp by much but I havent dont that.In standby you can press both plus and minus to swap between Celcius and Fahrenheit.It heats up very fast and you can watch it do so via the Large numerals which display bright Blue.There is a silicon collar around the top of the handle which gives improved grip while working.The flex end has a reinforcing sleeve where it joins the iron's handle.The Cable is about 1 metre and 35 cm long or about 54 inches and has a UK 3 pin plugChanging the ends is easy.The gnarled metal knob has two flat sides to undo with supplied spanner and the tips slide into the tube that is released by undoing it.It comes with 5 spare ends included, ranging from narrow ,flat blade to pointed endAlso supplied one small reel of solder 0.6mm 50 G 1.6% flux 60% tin 40% lead1 tiny little stand with dry sponge to reconstitute, okay for occasional use but you might want a more robust stand for prolonged useIt works well so far.Due to its fast heating, I was able to tin the weeny little wires on a mini motor and attach them back where they were wanted without burning a hole , leaving globules of solder everywhere or ruining the connector at the other end.I like that there is such control over the temperature and how easy it is to see when it reaches optimum heat and that the main tip is a good fine one for small work.I found this iron easy to use but the variety of button combinations are complicated and you would have trouble using it if you lost the instructions.

Very good this iron. I’m impressed all round with this.The digital display, if accurate, is brilliant. It shows the current temperature and counts up when you turn it on then if you increase or decrease the temp then it shows the target then flashes then back to the current temp and it counts up or down until it hits the target, as I said if it is accurate then it’s really good. It heats up fast too, faster than most others I’ve used and also showing the temp let’s you know exactly when you can use it. The only negative is the buttons, they work fine but feel flimsy and cheaply made, they let down the iron as the rest of it it good.You can change the tips for different shapes which is good, you remove the screw nut and the outer sheath then there is a nut to undo with the provided mini spanner to release the tip.The solder and holder with sponge are bog standard and what you get with most irons. The solder is 0.6mm so good for small wire joins or circuitry.Using the iron is nice, the small rubber sleeve at the end of the handle work remarkably well and makes it more comfortable to hold and relax your hand to work with as opposed to a smooth plastic that gets slippery when you get hot fingers.Over all this is a decent soldering iron with a very useful display, in this price range I would definitely recommend this, I’ve had a dozen over the years around this price and this is my favourite so far.
