Hi

i buy one of the kit for try it myself  , just receive it

first 2.5Kg of solder was really a lot of solder on come on that kit
personally i prefer 250gram jar but kit was 500gram jar
price was good bit under 400$ usd so 40$/250 gram (internet price for 250g jar was ~50$)

for now my only concern is that must handle solder bag carefully for avoid to punch it
since air will oxide ball and put it useless (bad was vacuum + inert gas)

will try it in the following week time to deplete my current jar

p.s. i forgot that for fresh past overnight shipping most of time cost more that the past itself
but that kit require only ground shipping
