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 and added our SparkFun Saftey Glasses. Go hack something!
**Note: **This edition of the Beginner Tool Kit includes a 230V version of our 30W soldering iron, for our customers in the EU. If you're ordering from a country that has a 120V mains voltage, you want to grab the standard version!
