Tool Kit – Beginner

This assortment of tools is great for those of you who are new to soldering. We've found our favorite, low-cost tools, and created a kit that we would give to our friends. While these tools might not be enough for more difficult, surface-mount type assembly, they should be just what you need for through-hole soldering.

This time around we've kitted all the tools together in our spiffy new SparkFun branded packaging. We've also replaced the leaded solder with the safer and generally more compliant lead-free solder. Go hack something!

Kit Includes:

• Soldering Iron - 30W US 3-Prong 110V - Simple, fixed-temp soldering iron


• Soldering Iron Stand - Keeps your soldering iron handy and off your floor


• Solder Wick #2 5ft. - Generic - If you've never used wick before, this will save your life project.


• Solder Lead-Free 10-gram Tube


• Needle Nose Pliers


• Diagonal Cutters - Snip those long leads


• SparkFun Mini Screwdriver
