Go for the other kit . 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.EDIT 12/16/2011: The price on this kit has gone down since I purchased it, and is now competitively priced compared to the other kit I bought. If you already have a soldering iron, this kit would be a reasonable purchase, but for only three dollars more, I still recommend the other kit mentioned.

Elenco SP3B Practical Soldering Project Kit Reviews
My soldering improved but the price is a bit steep . This was a pretty fun little project and through doing it my soldering did improve a LOT. It was worth buying because of the learning aspect, but if you were to look at what you actually get in the way of parts, the price seems a bit steep.

Elenco SP3B Practical Soldering Project Kit Opinions
excellent resource . This is an excellent resource for those wanting to learn to solder. The instructions are clear and concise and the kit provides lots of practice. It does help if you have a multimeter to check your work but this isn't rocket science so that isn't really necessary.

My First Soldering and Parts kit. . My first kit to build and I want to build more! the 2nd was the "Elenco AmeriKit Learn to Solder Kit". both are A+++++ for a start in electronics. Elenco AmeriKit Learn to Solder KitPractical Soldering & Parts Kit
Good product to use to start soldering . I'm new to soldering so I bought this out of a recommendation from a friend who also used this product before. I have to say this product does really well in teaching you proper soldering practices and methods (it also gives a small crash course on electrical circuit components to boot!). Overall this product was well worth the buy, but the one thing I would have to complain about is the metal plating you actually apply the solder on. I was placing a soldering bridge between two points and I wanted to test if the connection was good, but the minute I tugged lightly on the solder bridge, it came right off the PCB...Other than that, I would highly recommend it to beginners and amateurs alike!
Nice Beginner's Project . This was a great product to practice soldering. The instructions were easy to follow and I got some good experience.
If done correctly, two LED's will light up alternately when you're finished, so that's a nice payoff.
I'd recommend this kit to anyone and everyone.
