Tabiger Soldering Iron Kit with Adjustable Temperature ON/Off Switch, 60W/220V Electronics Soldering Tool with 5PCS Soldering Tips, Solder Wire, Soldering Iron Stand with Sponge for Repair Usage

Value for money good

If you're considering this purchase, you'll probably want to think about your expected usage and precisely what you want from the product given the price. Think about the fact you're getting the soldering iron itself along with a bunch of other stuff, contained in a case/pouch for what is essentially very little money. Let me put it to you in plain, clear terms. This set is extremely cheap and it shows. All items included here are cheaply made with cheap materials (the tweezers are probably the highlight of the set!) - the items are generally lightweight and feel cheap (which is fine, as long as you make your purchase with that knowledge in mind). This tool should not be expected to stand up to extended use and/or abuse (compared with, say, my Weller soldering gun, which I've had for around 35 years and is still going strong). With the above said, the thing works! The soldering iron gets hot and melts solder. The stand holds the iron off the bench. The solder sucker functions adequately. The solder is solder and the tweezers I really liked (for some reason, lol). So, if you need a soldering iron for occasional/light use, this may well fit the bill. If you're looking for something that you can use daily as a 'workhorse' tool, then you need to consider alternatives that are more suited to that kind of use (and know that they will come with a price tag to match).

Good piece of kit, it does the job!

Heats up quickly and the adjustable temperature is really useful for different jobs. Comfortable to hold, and the on/off switch makes it safer than basic models. Great little soldering iron for DIY projects

Over the years I've had a couple of cheap irons mainly just for tinning wires and the odd repair. They were never very satisfactory though and likely I wasn't using them correctly maybe they were meant for fine circuitry work or whatever. Having loaned my last one out and never really wanting it back I found I needed another recently fortunately I came across this kit. The main thing I found is the speed and power of the heat it generates. I'm no expert with electronics and others will know what I mean and no doubt communicate it much better. Basically I found this iron easy to solder with and it made the simple repairs I wanted to effect much less traumatic to me and anyone nearby. Other things. The on/off switch in the lead is great - simple I know but I found very useful. I’m not sure I need some of the extras but the zip case is handy and perhaps I’ll use the tips etc. in due course. The solder supplied is lead-free - lead solder is best avoided if you don’t have an extractor system. The kit stand is flimsy so I knocked up a more sturdy one from some bits of angle metal I had in the garage. I watched a couple of youtube videos for hints and, using this iron, I’m much happier with my work.

For hobbyists and beginners dipping their toes into soldering, this Tabiger kit offers reasonable value, though it comes with some notable compromises. The adjustable temperature control (200-450°C) is a welcome feature at this price point, and the iron heats up relatively quickly. The included accessories are comprehensive enough to get started – various tips, solder wire, desoldering pump, and stand are all serviceable. Build quality is acceptable, though not exceptional. The stand feels a bit lightweight and could be more stable. Where this kit falls short is in temperature consistency and tip quality. The temperature can fluctuate more than ideal for precise work, and the tips wear faster than premium alternatives. I've found myself having to adjust the temperature more frequently than I'd like during longer sessions. It's worth noting that while the iron works fine for basic electronics repairs and hobby projects, it might frustrate more experienced users. The handle gets warm during extended use, and the cord could be longer for better workspace flexibility. For occasional use and learning purposes, this kit does the job. Just don't expect professional-grade performance or longevity. Consider it a stepping stone before investing in higher-end equipment if you find yourself soldering regularly.

I ordered this to do some simple occasional soldering, and it seems to fulfill this purpose. It is light and feels cheap. The holder seems a bit flimsy, and the iron tip sits too close to the table when in the holder. Apart from this, it heats up fast, and it is easy to use. It is handy to have several tips so I can change them depending on the job, and the desoldering pump works fine. It is worth the money, and I wasn't expecting a top of the range soldering kit for what I paid, but four stars and not 5 is because the holder could have been designed better.

Worth the money
