You really do get what you pay for. At $16.99, this is a pretty good deal. Small (cheap) soldering jobs with multiple tips solder well. Note that the temperature scale is in Celsius, not Fahrenheit. The included solder paste is relatively hard compared to others, but decomposes well when heated. Also note that fairly thin solder wire is 40% lead. However, outside of my usual toolbox of relatively little work for soldering retractable wires, it did a great job.
