## Description

From the Manufacturer Practical Soldering Project Kit - This solder practice project will help you achieve good soldering techniques, help you become familiar with a variety of electronic components, and provide you with a completed unit that will produce the fun sound of the two tone European siren. This kit is an example of a multivibrator circuit. Working with printed circuit boards is in the future of every electronic technician. Almost every electronic device today has a printed circuit board and whether you are assembling a PC board or repairing it, you must understand the basics of working with these boards. Requires one 9V Battery. Made in the United States

Review: Best soldering project I've done! - This kit has you solder resistors in place, only to realize you need other resistors to continue, helping you practice de-soldering and replacing. I was at first frusterated by this, as I've done many other kits that were straight forward. But I quickly realized this is a true learning kit. It teaches you to solder, then de-solder what you put on. It works well when fully assembled and the instructions are full of useful information, much better than any other kit i've done (I've done alot of kits). This is truly a good beginner kit, full of good information. 10 out of 10 would recommend to any noobie looking for basic soldering experience. Large solder pads, teaches you to desolder, it has it all! After all my hard work, the siren works and the lights flash. Great buy for anybody looking to learn soldering or for a fun project to work on.
Review: Great way to learn to solder - I bought this for my 7yr-old so he could learn to solder and end up with something that would interest him. The device has two LEDs that flash alternately, and a siren that oscillates. It comes with everything you need but a soldering iron. The thing I loved about this was the practice pads on the back, and the very large, widely spaced pads throughout the board. With the practice pads, your kid can easily get the hang of what it means to solder and how it should go before they have to feel like they're starting on the project. Then, once they start on the project, there is plenty of space for them to build their confidence. The kit was put together well, easy to use and understand. For older kids with longer attention spans, the kit comes with a booklet with quite a bit of information, and a quiz. If you have a kid that is maybe 10-14, this would be for them. The one thing that bothered me about the kit was the lack of an on-off switch- so to stop the noise/lights you have to pull the battery, which annoyed my son as well. We'll add one on of course, but I think it would be the perfect addition to make the kit complete.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this kit come with a soldering iron? I don't get that impression but some of the reviews make me think otherwise...**
A: I do not believe that this particular version of the kit includes the soldering iron.  This appears to be the 'refil' kit.  If you are looking for a kit with a soldering iron, try the one from AmeriKit (Learn to Solder) http://www.amazon.com/Elenco-AmeriKit-Learn-Solder-Kit/dp/B0009Z3JJA/ref=pd_bxgy_t_text_y.

**Q: Is this a good item for an 11 year old with adult supervision?**
A: Here is a "cheap" answer.  Is the 11 year old responsible with a soldering iron?  Will he/she turn it off and unplug it when getting a drink or going to the bathroom.  House's catch fire from soldering irons left unwatched.  Other than that it's a good learning kit, I haven't soldered in 40 years and I'm just getting back up to speed.  Only YOU can judge if your child is ready and responsible.  Sorry for the "cheap" answer, but I just don't know your son/daughter .... it not the kit or the child or even the soldering iron it the combination of all.

**Q: Could i integrate a pir infrared motion sensor? So the alarm is triggered by motion?**
A: You can try using a motion sensor circuit  with a switch. 
Contact - support@elenco.com

**Q: How many soldering points does this kit have? Would you recommend it for a beginner?**
A: There are near 50 different soldering points.   This is the perfect kit for a beginner.  Lots of diversity;  resistors, chips and transistors.  My only beef would be that it's single-sided

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good practice kit
*by S***N on November 23, 2025*

It's a well designed kit for learning and practicing soldering. The instructions are well written and informative. And it's a pretty good price for what you get. I recommend buying some extra desoldering wick because the small amount the kit came with was easy to lose.
