bought the same kit for 12$ on Aliexpress im really happy with it, its really nice and good for the price only differences in mine that it got a little screen that shows the temperature and 2 buttons to control it
Thanks for the video, C.K. Quite a decent iron, but let down by the stiff PVC cord. I agree...if the flux doesn't say 100% rosin, i stay away. Pretty sure the solder would be leaded, though, and at least you get a decent amount and not the silly little coil most give you. Plus it has a nice case. I definitely don't need yet another iron, though. Thanks.
Thanks! I'll definitely be keeping the case, but not the solder or the, um, flux? Honestly, the US$16 dollar one I did the other day was better. We'll see what the next one looks like.

Seems to be luck of the draw as to what specific parts one gets in these kits. Glad you got an upgraded iron!
