Review on 🔧 Aven Solder Aid Set - 17524 (6 Pieces) by Kyle Robinson

for most soldering/desoldering tasks. The tools are of very good quality, but the plastic handles are cheap and uncomfortable. I found a very simple fix for this so I didn't deduct a star because the actual quality and cost of the tool was very good. I easily fixed this problem by attaching a 3/8" piece of heat shrink tubing to each handle, with each piece being 1/4-3/8" longer than the plastic handle. Then I used a heat gun to heat them up to press firmly and gently against the grip. This greatly increases the comfort and grip of the handlebar. In this case, do not choose the glossy vinyl or PVC type, choose the flat black rubber type for better grip. I don't know if radio Shack has this type but I bought mine from Harbor Freight and I think it fits. I highly recommend this set to any hobbyist or electronics store. But for everyday, all day use there are sure to be other better tool sets. For my use is this a great set and a very good price. Another use that came to mind is cleaning firearms. This set has more sizes and shapes of tools to sneak into the corner. It g There are more useful tools in this set than the sets I've seen specifically for this purpose. Thank you for reading. I hope my review helps someone make a purchase decision.
