First of all I have to say I
love this kits and it comes at a great price. I am replacing my old heavy
soldering gun with this kit.
The soldering iron itself is
much like others in shape and size but has an on/off switch and temperature
gauge to better control. I also like the silicone handle that makes it easy to
hold and control. It has a total of 6 tips for various sizes of work. I mainly
use mine for building or repairing HAM radio antennas. With a warm-up time of
roughly one minute it is easy to change the tips fairly quickly I feel the
need. I also appreciate that this kit comes with a stand that to hold the iron
while it is on but is collapsible so it stores nicely in the kit.
The other big feature of this
kit is the digital multimeter. It does vay more than I know how to do right
now. From testing resistance, transistors, and buzzers to measuring DC and AC
voltage and currents. This same type of multimeter is very hard to find because
it has the EBCE area. I don’t know what it means just that most meters don’t
have this feature. I usually need just
the alarm feature which tells me if my wires have continuity from one end to
the other. It uses a standard 9v battery which is included in the kit and it
only take one screw to remove the door to put the battery in.
This kits has all the
necessities you need to get the job done from the wire cutter/stripper, extra
wire for your project, tweezers sold wire in a handy tube, a desoldering vacuum
pen and an 8 bit magnetic screwdriver along with a nice leather zip around case
with elastic straps to keep everything in its place.
This is the perfect kit iw
was looking for and it caving me from having to dig through things to find the
correct tools and supplies when I have project to be done.
If was to buy all these items
separately it would cost around $60-$80. The soldering iron and multimeter
alone cost more than the whole kit. 5 starts for a great product at a very
affordable price.
