Elenco Practical Soldering Project Kit

Q: Does this kit come with a soldering iron? I don't get that impression but some of the reviews make me think otherwise...

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?

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?

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?

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

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.

Great kit to hookup kids on radio-electronics

Just great kit for beginners. Kids were very happy to spend a whole day soldering this kit. Its has a led lights and siren’s sound while completed, and you should see the happy faces of them. Be sure you got a solder iron and the battery, thats not included in the kit. Kit helped me to hook up the kids on electronics and we already built radio and alarm clock and they’re looking for more projects.
