ElencoSoldering Starter Kit with Desoldering Wick and Pump [ Replaces ST-12 ] Model Kit

Me gustó este kit por la calidad y lo que incluye; principalmente lo uso para evitar sobrecalentar mucho componentes. El cautín que incluye es de 25W, aunque tarda más en calentarse si me permitió que no se sobrecalentaran LEDs o diodos, no se nota como otros económicos. Soldar cables menores a calibre 22 AWG se puede volver un poco difícil, que con preparación y práctica se resuelve. El desoldador de succión me resultó mejor a un Truper que ya dejé de usar. La soldadura incluida también es de buena calidad, si queda brillante al enfriarse. La malla para desoldar al igual es de buena calidad, no se ven oxidaciones a simple vista, y sí, práctica. El stand para el cautín, bueno, galvanizado, y la esponja, por ahora no la he usado.

sin queja alguna lo compre por 94 pesos y fue una muy buena compra, calienta muy bien y incluye muchos accesorios.

I read previous reviews so a little suspicious about buying this kit but I remember the previous version had great reviews and the price is right for what you get. I should also say I was suspicious of the reviews since they arent verified purchasers. I got it knowing I am not great at soldering and thought the handy solder wick and pump would be good for reworking my mistakes. I also knew that the lead free solder would impact my ability to solder easily since the lead free solder is much harder to work with compared to leaded solder. In any case it works great, my solder joints are clean and functional so I have no idea what the other reviewers were talking about. Maybe it's a skill issue although my soldering skill level is pretty low and these solder joints are as good as I have produced in the past if not better. I will say I tried running the iron through a power strip with a breaker/fuse and I am not sure what other electronic components and it didnt get hot enough. It needed to go directly into the wall.

Great product for light and quick jobs around the house. Works well, and heats up quickly. Don't expect too much from the stand/holder it comes with.I looked at many of these in and around this price range, and this is definately the best value.
