Electronic Soldering Kits for Adults Review

Yes, electronic soldering kits for adults, it’s not a mistake. This article would be about soldering kits for adults. This idea came to me after I met my old buddy. Knowing about my interest and experience in electronics, he asked if it was possible to buy any solder project kits for adults.

Well, he is not a total newbie in soldering, however, he was a bit ashamed to buy children’s stuff. You know, all these fun projects for kids. Truth be told, I’ve never ever divided soldering kits by this criterion, but now I’m going to. Hope you will find it useful, at least some people will.

Let’s get started!

Being an adult does not necessarily mean having years of experience in soldering. The different stages of life make us grow and change, and it’s quite normal to develop different interests. Maybe being 10-12 years old, you didn’t have a single thought of soldering, and now, once you are older, you would like to make your first steps. It’s never too late to start!

If you have never ever even touched a soldering iron, of course you should start with the beginners’ kits. To a general idea, you can read my review 9 Best Soldering Project Kits for Beginners. Of course, it would be better, if you start with “Learn to Solder Kits”!

Basically, these solder kits have all components available (including ones for practice too) plus a lesson manual and video instruction which are really helpful.

After you have mastered soldering technique, you can go further and try to assemble some simple kits. Let’s have a look at a few of them. Below are some practical ideas: at least you would be able to use the goods or gave them as gifts!

This DIY soldering kit might be both: a nice present and a seasonal decoration. The kit comes with 50 (5mm) colorful flashing LED diodes which form the star shape. It features pre-marked electronic components name and large solder joint: that’s why soldering and assembly process would be easier for you accomplish. The design is pretty simple, but it’s a great chance of a leaning something new and a good soldering practice.

To make the start flashing and rotating through all the colors, you will need all the tools required for practicing: soldering iron, iron stand, tweezers, multimeter, pliers, screwdriver set, solder wire, clean sponge, soldering magnifier. And note that complete User Manual you can find on the Amazon page (they are in “Technical Information” section), it’s not included in the package.

However, if you still have doubts and not yet sure whether you would like it and go on with soldering, don’t spend a lot of money on your first projects. Not long ago I posted a review 10 cool solder project kits under 50 dollars. I do hope it will be of help and give you some money-saving ideas.
