Looks good to me.

It's the basics, but for the price you can't really go wrong.

Thats what i thought, I dont need anything over the top, just basics, soldering bits to the xbox, ps3, and fixing little electrical things.

I'd go with something a bit more expensive if you can.
All that for the price makes me think that it may be made in low quality. You want something that is made to a good standard that will last for a long time.

You don't have to stretch too much. Just look for something a bit better than that. Soldering irons deal with extreme heat. You don't want to risk yourself buy buying a cheap one.
