It's got good support from the manufacturers and is a very versatile little starter gun if you don't already have one. Also very affordable.

Some cheap little fun project kits. I started with the jitterbug.

I guess maybe it's been a while since I've looked, but that soldering iron seems like a crazy good deal. I've been using a crappy iron with a way too stiff cord for the longest time cause I figured it wasn't worth it for how little I have to solder.
It really is, I love it.
Having a readout that tells me the exact temp of the tip is fire.
Thanks for the helpful links. :)
