 Worth the Money August 26, 2009

I've been in the electronics hobby for over 30 years and own a few soldering iron. This time I had to build a high voltage power supply replacement board for a 2,000 watt a linear amplifier and the two soldering guns were just too hot for soldering small components. I found this one at a the Radio Shack site but they wanted too much for the shipping. I can say that this inexpensive tool worked flawlessly is a perfect soldering pencil for small jobs that do not required lots of heat and also for the first-time user who has very basic needs. It includes all the pieces you need for your first soldering project. In my humble opinion, it's worth the price (cheap!) and much better than alternatives that are [...] bucks cheaper
Best buy for your money August 23, 2009
Colin Robinson (Syracuse, NY)
It doesn't have all the same features as more expensive irons, but this is THE best one you can buy for $15. I've used it for countless projects including soldering onto PCBs and it works great. Low price with decent functionality.
Good for General Consumer Use but, Not for Finer Electronics Work August 1, 2009

This is a good, inexpensive, consumer-oriented general purpose soldering iron for tasks such as automotive and household wiring and medium-sized electronic component work such as that antique Grundig reel-to-reel tape player you picked up at a yard sale. The included "soldering aid" tool is handy for straightening or bending wires and component leads. If you can, I suggest you pick this up at Wally-World - you'll pay local sales tax but, you'll save shipping costs and time.
The Weller brand from Cooper Handtools is outstanding. [...] But, make sure you understand that this particular kit - the SP23LK - is a consumer-grade item. For finer electronics work and somewhat advanced tasks such as "through-hole" and "surface mount technology" soldering and desoldering, the operating temperature of this iron is much too high and the included and available tips are much too large.) If you're just starting out in electronics and are even just somewhat serious about it, the SP23 is NOT the iron to start out on - you'll probably become quickly frustrated, burn up some components, not learn good soldering techniques, and wind up tossing the iron and your new hobby or profession. If your budget can afford it and you think you'll be spending a fair amount of time working with electronics, consider a "soldering station" such as the Weller WES51 Analog Soldering Station, Power Unit, Soldering Pencil, Stand and Sponge (outstanding price on Amazon, even with shipping!).
Otherwise, the Weller SP23LK is a good consumer-grade general purpose kit not intended for serious electronics work. I rate it 4-out-of-5-stars only because there are several other equally capable general purpose irons out there.
Great Iron June 13, 2009
J. Mosack (Ohio, USA)
This is a really good iron for electronics projects. I picked it up after my other iron (a much cheaper Radio Shack model) gave up the ghost. It's been much easier to work with this iron and I really like the indicator light around the base that tells you if it's on.
I would recommend this iron to anyone interested in electronics.
soldering kit June 12, 2009
Diane L. Laverty (Newport, PA USA)
This is a good kit for beginners. I purchased it for my son (15 years old) when we discovered how difficult it was to replace the Coldheat tips, which kept breaking for that system. This system works much better, but of course, it is hot, so I wouldn't have considered it for much younger children.
