I've looking to start soldering and need some equipment that isn't expensive.

I have done some soldering in the past but with some crappy equipment.

 

I'm thinking of getting something like this along side http://www.amazon.com/SE-MZ101B-Helping-Hand-Magnifier/dp/B000RB38X8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426363653&sr=8-1&keywords=Soldering+Helping+hand

 

Need something to clean the soldering gun as well. It'd be nice to find something in a bundle too. I prefer Amazon

To clean the Soldering gun just, wipe it down with some sandpaper or some steel wool

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER STOP LEARNING. DONT LET THE PAST HURT YOU. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT

My current soldering iron doesn't even have a tip anymore. 

 

I was already considering getting this http://www.amazon.com/Hakko-599B-02-Solder-Cleaning-Holder/dp/B00FZPGDLA/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1426364065&sr=8-19&keywords=Soldering+station though.

The helping hand thing works really well when trying to wire multiple things together.

The tools don't do the Skills,

 

If u correctly do a solder you only gonna use solder to clean the tools add to a wet sponge (bob) :P?

 

In add I recommend u to get solder flux & an helping hand.

 

First lesson solder guide the iron not the opposite.
