I just got this kit because I want my son-in-law to teach me how to solder. He took one look at it and his eye lit up. There is about everything you will ever need in this set. It all fits neatly into a zipper bag with elastic straps holding everything neatly in place. I like to do jewelry in my spare time and have always wanted to be able to solder the jump rings shut because when they come open you can lose a nice necklace. It's just fashion jewelry so it's not precious metals. That would be a whole nother kit. lol I can't wait to learn to use this kit.
