Tools and Hardware Reviews of Elenco SP3B Practical Soldering Project Kit

Customer Review: Go for the other kit
Summary: 3 Stars

I purchased this soldering kit along with the Elenco AmeriKit Learn to Solder Kit also available on Amazon, and the other kit is MUCH better. Here's why:

1) The other kit comes with a good soldering iron. Both kits have a spool of solder, but you'll have to buy a soldering iron if you get this kit.
2) This kit, when finished, gives you a board that blinks two alternating red lights. The other one is an alarm system that not only blinks the two LED lights, but also plays the sound of a European alarm when it's turned on.

Maybe it's just because I built this kit after the Elenco AmeriKit Learn to Solder Kit, but I was highly disappointed when I saw the very few amount of parts that came with this kit. That feeling was only reinforced when I put it together, turned it on, and was rewarded by...two blinking lights. The other kit was much more satisfying, and I would highly recommend that one if you need to learn how to solder.

I don't think anyone would need both kits to learn how to solder, either. One is sufficient to get you moving on to bigger and better projects, like robot kits.
