"Hated using a wet sponge because it reduces the tinning effect on the tips causing premature wear."
"I only wish the bottom wasn't fit so tight to the top as it makes cleaning a bit of a task."
"This works much better at cleaning a solder iron tip than a wet sponge."
"Order this along with some other items for my hobby / side business I've always had and reserved about if these things actually worked I've seen them on YouTube but thought why not try one."
"The Hakko 599B-02 Solder Tip Cleaning Wire and Holder is well made."
"The brass pad works so much better than the sponge. Every so often when the brass starts to fill up, I empty the container and "fluf" (for lack of a better word) the brass sponge."
"Works just as advertised and was huge improvement over the wet sponge I was using."

Find Best Price at Amazon"To get a good solder joint, the parts to be joined MUST be clean! Press the hot iron against the joint and touch the solder wire to the iron tip where it contacts the joint. Let a very small amount of solder melt and get drawn into the joint to help heat to travel into the joint. Then touch the solder to the part being soldered. To get a good joint, the JOINT, NOT THE IRON must melt the solder. The solder MUST "wet" the joint and flow into the joint smoothly. Do not try to melt a blob of solder onto the iron's tip and carry it to the joint. It makes soldering it very difficult, so it's usually crimped or welded.. Copper and brass oxide films will also prevent solder from adhering, so even if you CLEAN before soldering, you need a flux to dissolve and prevent oxidation at the joint during soldering. Trying to protect parts from heat by using a low-temperature or undersized iron will actually result in MORE overheating of the parts because the heat will have more time to travel to the part even if the solder joint is unsuccessful. Do this: Use a good temperature-controlled soldering iron such as aWeller W60P 60Watts/120V Controlled Output Soldering Iron with a 1/16" or 1/8" tip for electronics or up to a 1/4" tip for heavier work. I use 600F temperature tips for 60/40 solder, though 700F might be better for lead-free solder. I have been buying Elenco AmeriKit Learn to Solder Kits for my kids, nieces, nephews, and friends who want to learn to solder."
"I have switched to Kester and Miniatronics branded solder for my projects and have since had a way easier time producing good and consistent joints without using extra flux."
"Works wonderfully for the small hobbyist level jobs that I do for a novice(still learning) solderer."
"That's probably the reason lead solder was recommended to me as being easier to use."
"The rosin core definitely helped with wetting and oxidation problems, and 60 Pb / 40 Sn works at lower temperature than many of the lead-free alternatives."
"I simply applied the Alpha Fry solder over the old joints and suddenly had a smooth, shiny solder joint."
"It's kind of hard the really "rate" solder, because if you're gun stinks, then no solder is going to work properly."
"It's the best for electrical wires, but it shouldn't be used with cold-heat solders."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I expected to be working on a range of devices, from 100 amp power connectors to trying to fudge an 0805 SMT resistor back into place. But the curved end tool is good for grabbing small springs, and as for the rest - well, the space in the bag is useful to hold a set of flat and JIS cross (not-Philips) drivers. The other tools in the kit are good quality for the price, especially the solder sucker which is made of aluminum rather than plastic. I'm guessing Amazon can accommodate you there :J. Overall, I gave this 5 * not because it's the greatest soldering iron - it's not - but because the vendor really managed to pack a lot of value into that $29 zipper bag."
"Eventually you will want to step up to a Hakko iron and Hakko desoldering iron, but if you can't afford that, this will get you going. The vacuum desoldering pump works well, but should only be used in an emergency."
"The stand is small but the kit gets the job done."
"The solder sucker didn't work quite as well as I'd hoped, and, if you are planning on desoldering, you will need solder wick which is not included (and I found out the hard way)."
"Just used it to solder some headers on a tiny (almost fits into a beer ottle cap) pcb."
"You should go get some ROSIN (not acid) flux (or a flux pen) to use with this kit."
"My only nit would be that I keep changing the heat level while working without realizing it."
"I bought this and in one week fixed (by resoldering) $50 pair of headphones, a MacBook MagSafe2 charger ($80), and a custom Arduino-based heart rate sensor (someone did a poor job soldering the wires to the sensor (about the size of a dime)."
Best Desoldering Pumps
How to Use the Desoldering Pump Step 1: Press the plunger down until it is been locked and you will hear a click; Step 2: Make the tip of the soldering iron to the solder joint and allow the solder to become fully liquid; Step 3: Move the tip of the pump next to the molten solder. How to Use the Solder Wick Step 1: Place the wick over the solder you need remove and then just push the heated soldering iron tip onto the wick; Step 2: Remove the wick once the solder has been absorbed; Step 3: Cut off the used part of the wick; Step 4: Repeat this process if needed. With low residue design, this solder braid will help clean spare solder on the pin away to avoid short circuit, especially in small, hard to reach areas. The solder wick can help clean some residue flux and BGA thermal bonding pad too.

"The soldering pump is of good build quality and has a knurled finish around common grip points to keep it secure in your hand. This thing sucks, and that's a good thing for a desoldering pump!"
"The solder sucker took me a few tried to get the hang of but once I did, it worked very wall."
"Great seller they listen to what you have to say and act accordingly."
"Had to remove 8 large output transistors from my beloved Adcom GFA-555 amp in order to identify which had gone bad."
"However I gave it three stars for the simple reason sometimes it falls out of its cocked mode and you need to reset the suction. But for the price it is decent and a welcome addition for MY simple soldering removal tasks."
"Release the piston and see if it holds vacuum."
"Without the solder sucker it would have been almost impossible to remove plus the possibility of damaging the board."

"Extremely efficient and far superior in performance to a bigger one that I have."
"The 6 in 1 electric soldering iron kit was perfect for my needs. The case the kit comes with is great."
"It includes a carry case, soldering iron, 5 solder tips, soldering sucker, solder tin wire tube, and a stand with cleaning sponge."
"This electric soldering iron is very nice, it works very well and is about as handy as any I have seen, or used!"
"The biggest problem I have, and have heard this from others also, is that while it is adjustable and the temp dial shows 200 - 450' C, it doesn't turn on until i have it turned to 350-375 or so, and i actually have a need for low temp soldering (250'C)."
"Received a replacement after the first one I received was faulty so now I am here updating my review about it.The reason I changed this from 2 stars to five is because the item is exactly as described, working and all items are there."
"Edit, A replacement was sent and works great."

"The shade adjuster on outside of hood works well but in my opinion it would be better if it were on the inside, it also turns very easily, would be better if it was a bit tougher to turn."
"Works great so far."
"Great auto-darkening helmet for the money, cheaper and better than HF."
"Noobie welder and needed a helmet."
"By that I mean that when the mask isn't auto darkened, it's shade or, the amount of light it allows through is MUCH greater than other masks. When you start welding, the reaction of the mask is instant, and it shields your eyes. The drawback of this, is that if you don't turn on the mask, or don't adjust it dark enough, it can be too bright. This mask also gives you a greater range of adjustment, so if you only need a little shielding (plasma cutting for example), you can easily adjust it, so you still have much better vision than with most other masks. When it's not dimmed, you can see much more clearly... it's default state is a much less dark shade than most other masks. Mask is useless now."
"It adjusts automatically, except when I forget to put it on the appropriate function..either welding or grinding."
"Does the job."
