Soldering Iron Kit, 60W Soldering Iron Adjustable Temperature 30-in-1, 5 Solder Tips, Digital Multimeter, Solder Wire, Paste, Desoldering Pump, Tweezers for Electronics Hobby Enthusiast 110V US Plug

--- An update 3 days later, 02/27/2023 --- I just used this kit again to replace a left click switch that was double-clicking on a Logitech mouse. It took a while to desolder the old switch, possibly because I had the iron set for 350 degrees and used the smallest tip. There were no problems, it just took a while to get the old solder hot enough. This is where I sort of wished I had a higher power iron, but then I am not going to be able to justify another $80 for that since I don't tinker much. Soldering the new switch on was a cinch -- no issues whatsoever, and very quick. The entire process was so much easier than the LED strip job. --- Original review 02/24/2023 --- This kit allowed me to solder a cut-up LED strip to 22AWG wires, my first time soldering in 25 years (although 25 years ago, I wasn't "soldering", I was "dropping solder onto connections from 2 feet above", so this was really my first true soldering job). Tools I used, from this kit: 1. Soldering iron at 325-350 degrees 2. Soldering tip (the narrowest one) 3. Solder wire 4. Flux paste (the solder wire has flux in it, but I just needed an extra dab) 5. Soldering stand & sponge 6. Multimeter to test for any shorts 7. 22AWG red and black wires 8. Electrical tape 9. Tweezers 10. Heat shrink Tools I used, NOT from this kit: 1. Wire stripper/cutter (there is a cheapo one in the kit but I tossed it without trying it) 2. Helping hands with magnifying glass 3. HEPA air purifier 4. Silicone soldering mat 5. Lighter 6. Clear tape Basically, what I wanted to do was to attach approx. 1 foot of LED strip each to just the top and bottom of the back of my son's monitor so that the back would radiate ambient colors, and have it all be controlled by the controller that was attached to the bottom strip. My LED strip was only 2 feet long, hence not long enough to do the sides, so I cut my LED strip in half and soldered the 22 AWG electrical wires to run on the side and connect the top uncontrolled strip to the bottom controlled strip. Before starting the project, based on some of the bad reviews, I was concerned about the soldering iron dying on me, but it didn't. The handle also didn't get too hot or melt or anything, even though I used the iron for about 2 hours at roughly 325 degrees. So... is this a kit that's full of the cheapest products you can get? Yes, pretty much, except for the stand, multimeter, and utility knife which are a step above the cheapest. The soldering iron, namely, is almost the cheapest one you can buy on Chinese sites that runs on AC. So... is this a bad kit? No, unless of course you were unlucky and received a dud soldering iron. I mean, this was my first real soldering job, with permanently shaky hands, poor vision, tiny LED strip connections (4 connections on each side), and no extra LED strip to bounce back from failures, but I still got the job done on the first try with what was included here. I think the owners of Plusivo put a lot of thought and effort into creating this kit with a mish-mash of cheap but decent products. Everything important works, and if you bought the parts separately, you'd have paid a lot more, even from Chinese sites. Just upgrade whatever you feel frustrated with. I for one threw out the wire stripper and jewelry screwdriver set the day I got them because I already had better ones and wanted to create more room inside the bag. There's definitely a lot of room for better quality replacements, but most of what you need is in this kit if you have a small budget.

I got this kit for the de-soldering supplies inside rather than buying all the parts individually for one small project. I am replacing the resonator on a Toyota speedometer (already replaced speedometer but the gauge on the dashboard still heats up and goes out intermittently). Many of the items I already have but it is nice to have two of each. That way I can keep a set for lead soldering in circuits and a separate set for lead free soldering. I didn't need the voltmeter but it is great. it really has a backlight that works. It tests 1.5v and 9v batteries. My current one tests 1.5, 6, 9, 12 volts. This is the main reason I even use it lately. This little multimeter tests continuity also. The de-soldering wick isn't a lot but enough for what I need. The de-soldering vacuum has good suction. The tips in this package are a great range of sizes. And the iron even comes with one spare one already in it. The case is the PU leather type of stuff that usually don't last but it keeps the supplies together. I wasn't sure if the solder included is lead or lead free. Most kits nowadays come with lead free which is too hard to heat for a tiny circuit. The solder is labeled with a Proposition 65 but that still could be nickel and tin or lead and tin. The blue screwdriver set is really nice. I use one of these all the time for opening battery compartments and fixing small things. The magnetic bits inside the screwdriver are useful for different types of screws. A really nice feature is an included tiny circuit board to practice and some wires. The price was amazing too. Update: 11/3/24. The soldering iron and electronic sized tip was amazing. The dashboard on a 26 year old car works now. I did use a smaller sized solder wire than was in the kit and some extra flux. Thank you seller for the great product and price.

Good starter kit. If you are going to be using more than a little bit then order extra solder right away and maybe extra wire wraps. Easy to learn on.

this kit is as pictured. quality is impressive for the money spent. impressed with the sizes & amounts of all the items included. they are not “trial size” - & in fact, come in standard size. which is appealing when price is considered. certainly worth the money spent, in my personal opinion. with respects to the skill of soldering - it definitely fits the bill as advertised & includes the basics that one would need to begin learning the skill BUT HOWEVER - for a kit that is - in all aspects & appearances - seemingly marketed towards the beginner in the field who has little or likely no previous experience with anything involved with soldering. from past experience - i know that embarking upon soldering for the first time as a self taught enthusiast- is considerably difficult & most times - confusing & unclear with regards to where exactly to begin to start teaching yourself & what exactly would be the best method to start with to have success & be able to firmly grasp & understand everything involved with soldering. i would have given this 5 stars had there been even a single piece of literature directed towards that beginner & recommendations on where to start. maybe a youtube channel, diy blogs, maybe this company’s blog / channel itself. as i am aware that the company is firmly rooted in the soldering industry. it would help an aspiring beginner to lay the groundwork to what would be a skill that they’d have a chance at being successful at & which would open up many more opportunities.

As a newbie maker, i am impressed by the amount of equipment provided in the kit. There is also a free "getting started" pdf available. The quality of materials is good. The price for all the included equipment is excellent.
