Eh, it looks decent. The problem with those are they take FOREVER to heat up. If you haven't ever used a soldering iron before this would be a good one to see if you like soldering without spending a lot.

But if you want a really good one get a Weller industrial soldering iron. They ROCK! I own the WES51 model and it was worth the money :)
It heats up in under 30 seconds! Solders great too. And the handle is designed so that you wont burn you hand constantly.
In fact, I haven't even burned myself with mine and I've had it for bout a year! I used to burned myself constantly with my Radio Shack iron :x

I would say get the cheap one and upgrade later (thats what I did)
