5.0 out of 5 stars Best soldering kit ever!
Super cheap really useful, is extremely durable but the tips got messed up on mine, (probably my fault)The heat level adjustment is the best too!Its a very portable little soldering kit!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value
This kit is perfect for anyone who is looking to get into soldering, and with all that it comes with is a great value for the price. The carry case is nice. Keeps everything organized and protected and feels quality. There is a free download code provides a 45 page informative guide that is great for any novice to pick up and learn and understand the basics and fundamentals of soldering. A few things to note, the box cutter is not the best, it will get the job done but the build if a cheap plastic so it sort of feels flimsy in your hand, that type that feels like if it falls from my hand it would crack or break, the wire stripper aswell does not feel like the best quality plastic but also gets the job done just that you have to take a little extra care and attention to get it done right, so I will be swapping those out for more premium build ones. The soldering iron works great and as you hope it would. It feels light but balanced. Being held feels natural and easy to work with. The rubberized padding on the body gives a secure grip which is what you want when working to get that perfect control of movement and it has extra tips of varying sizes and uses. To sum it all up, this kit is a perfect starter kit. The value for money here can't go wrong.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good soldering iron
I have had this soldering iron for about 2 to 3 years now and it has served me well for the price it is actually really good i thought i would use it one time then trash it but it heats up fast just i would recommend getting a pack of replacement tips for the soldering iron the multimeter i was also using it for a long time but i broke it recently but overall the whole kit was really good.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great soldering kit!
The media could not be loaded. Works great! The temperature control makes it really nice. The only con is the stand that comes with it is really light and tends to move around a lot.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect kit for experienced beginner
This is a great kit for the "weekend warrior" I wouldn't expect these tools to last with daily use but for my needs and the occasional repair they are perfect
5.0 out of 5 stars Tons of value here for the beginner!
--- 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 degrees2. Soldering tip (the narrowest one)3. Solder wire4. Flux paste (the solder wire has flux in it, but I just needed an extra dab)5. Soldering stand & sponge6. Multimeter to test for any shorts7. 22AWG red and black wires8. Electrical tape9. Tweezers10. Heat shrinkTools 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 glass3. HEPA air purifier4. Silicone soldering mat5. Lighter6. Clear tapeBasically, 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars A decent lot except for soldering
The kit is nicely packaged and contains many items you might need on your entry level soldering job with one exceptionThe iron does not get hot enough to melt solder. I bought this to replace my Xbox one joystick sensor, but the iron is not hot enough to melt the solder in the controller. Even after applying the solder paste/flux and putting some of the low melt solder onto it, the iron is severely underpowered to the point of being useless. Ended up destroying several traces on the daughter board due to the iron not getting hot enough requiring me to attempt to leave the iron on the area longer, resulting in damage to the board...This is like a dull knife in the kitchen, much more dangerous than a sharp knife, except it's a low heat iron. Spend more on a higher quality iron.
