Product Description
You may be intimidated by soldering, but you’re interested in exploring the world of tinkering that only a proper soldering kit can open up. The communities over at Geekhack and Geekhackers have been helping people learn the process for years and the culmination of their efforts is the Learn to Solder Kit, a comprehensive set of supplies designed and arranged by Ming Kawaguchi (mkawa on Geekhack) to be a purely pro-bono tool for education Read More
Folks! I've been getting direct requests to bring this drop back, and I definitely want to! However, we need a bit of time to work out logistics for the next drop. In the meantime, please vote to bring the drop back! It will be a nice kick in the pants for all of us if we can see what the demand looks like. Thanks for your support!
So the flat soldering tip was sticking 3/4 the way out of the corner of the box. I don't know how it made it all the way to my house without getting lost. I assume it was supposed to be in that little bag in the box. :-)
RED-404eek! if anyone is missing an iron tip, please let me or customer service at massdrop know and i will get you another one asap. they are pointy little things that like to escape plastic bags.
Quick update for the group. It looks like we have received everything but the soldering irons. We are working to get those in ASAP so we can get these out to you soon! We are currently coordinating on this and will update the group when we have more news.
Once the remaining portion of the order does arrive we will get these out really quickly!
Expect an update from us on 12/15 or sooner if something comes up.
HassanSMy flat tip also seems to have escaped the box... That and there was no soldering wire in there. Was anyone else missing that? I was supposed to get enough to last a year...now I can't even play with my new kit over the holiday. Waah!
GearheadgalThats sad to hear, not to worry as we will work to get this taken care of. Please reach out to us at support@massdrop.com and we will make sure you are taken care of.

Hey folks!
The order with the manufacturer was placed last Tuesday and production should be wrapping up today or tomorrow. When the west coast wakes up, I will confirm an eta on delivery to fulfillment. Thanks all!
We’ve submitted our order for Learn to Solder Kit shortly after the drop ended.
Now that the order has been placed, @ming.geekhackers.org is preparing it for shipment. In the meantime, we will also be getting our warehouse ready to handle the reshipment of the product to everyone as soon as it arrives.
Expect an update from us on 12/02 or sooner if something comes up.
A $145 learn to solder kit? This is ridiculously overpriced.
My learn to solder kit was $25, from radio shack and had that iron for over a decade. Now I have a Hakko Fx888D and it is all the solder I would ever need.
Once again, you guys are going overboard.
