Review on πŸ”Œ Gikfun Soldering Practice Components for Beginners by Edwin Kreps

Revainrating 1 out of 5

NO STARTER SET!

Revain advertised it as a BEGINNER kit. When it says "beginner" I assumed it meant "beginner": like you don't know anything and just learn. When I got it I was very disappointed. The so-called "manual" instructions are terrible. I have no idea what the "pseudo" side and "floating weld" mean! They don't explain anything. "Directions" are just terrible. If it was advertised as a kit for people with a little soldering knowledge or some experience, that would be a different matter. DO NOT BUY this if you are truly a beginner. You can't use it. You will also need a microscope or a 5-10x magnifying glass. You can't make this little board with just your eyes. Very, very disappointed in Gigfun. This was my first set with them and will probably be my last if they advertise products so inaccurately.

Pros
  • DIY SMD/SMT Components Practice Board
Cons
  • Unreliable
