This kit is great for micro soldering, but there are other kits that are cheaper with an equivalent number of parts of the same size and will have a light show to tell you if you did it right or not. Honestly, given that fact and having just finished working on both kits, I don't see why you would buy one that doesn't have LEDs and circuitry that does something so you can know you have a good connection to all your ICs have connections. It's good. I enjoyed practicing on it. But using aโฆ
Pros
This soldering project requires a basic knowledge of electronics and hands-on skills.
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 thisโฆ
If you have at least some experience with electronic soldering on larger traditional through hole components but want to try your hand at SMD, this is a great way to get started. This is a very high quality kit with a large selection of different sized pieces to practice with. And at a very reasonable price. For roughly the price of the film, you can't go wrong. And even if you make a few mistakes during the tutorial, never mind because the kit was never intended to be anything constructiveโฆ
Pros
Because the accessory is very small, it is recommended to use needle nose pliers to facilitate welding. ASIN: B095BP53HJ
