It comes with more stuff and the soldering iron is \"worse\" but with prices this low you really shouldn't be trusting the iron much anyways.  You probably want to use a tip calibration tool for like 12$ before you start reworking electronics.\r\n\r\nI even skimmed through a bit of the ebook and it seems pretty alright too.  (you don't even need to buy the kit to access it)\\]\r\n\r\nAlso to make the solder wick more effective you can add flux to it\r\n\r\nWith all this being said if you want to continue soldering and do it more often you should look into investing more into tools and equipment as this iron wont get you very far.","subreddit_name":"soldering","author":"weeeeum"},{"body":"Also I should mention that the tip on the iron looks real funny so I don't think it would last awfully long.  And it would be better to have leaded solder and proper flush cutters, not some random janky wire cutter rubbish. \r\n\r\nI think it would be better to get a soldering kit like [this](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q2B4ZY9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2WIZBA4LZM5RA\u0026amp;psc=1) and do any of the other stand alone learning kits on amazon.  It's quite a bit more but comes with like 5x more stuff useful for real world applications and not barely enough to finish a kit.  You can get a cheaper variant solder kit without the multimeter and some other stuff for around 9$ less.","subreddit_name":"soldering","author":"weeeeum"},{"body":"I got a cheap $20kit that worked fine. Of course, the better your tools are the easier it would be to work with them.  The cheap kits will be fine. Just be a little patient. If you have some electrical components laying around, try soldering on it first as a practice. With my iron i had to figure out what's best temperature to keep it at. Watch a bunch of videos on how to solder \u0026amp; desolder. \r\n\r\nIf you want to stick to something cheap, i suggest this kit as it comes with a multimeter too which can be super helpful troubleshooting your wiring and also be handy around the house.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q2B4ZY9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YT8zFb6BQ6HMW","subreddit_name":"inductionheaters","author":"jaanipls"},{"body":"Regular ol (honestly dirt cheapest kit on amazon) iron.
