Does this come with a soldering iron holder?

yes, a small metal piece. I am happy with it for what little soldering I use it for.buying a holder for the cables etc. one wants to solder would be a good addition.

It's not so much a holder as it's a stand. You can prop up the soldering iron on it so that the tip is angled upward and you won't burn th surface you're working on.

The old one will pop out by pushing side tabs in.Then push new one in place being aware of side tabs locking in place.No soldering!

Omar, yes it comes with a stand for the soldering iron, but it is not identical to the one shown in the picture. My kit came with a stand made from a thin sheet of metal, with part of it able to be adjusted for the height of the stand. In other words, it doesn't have the blue plastic base that the picture shows. The stand that my kit came with did the trick though. Hope that helps.

Hello. No it does not come with a holder. Then I bought two holders that came with a tip that are much more thiner than the ones in the box. If you find the right holder let me know. Thanks and Merry Christmas

To answer your question directly, it is not madatory but it does help. Tinning the tip(s) only takes a small amount of solder and helps the solder heat and flow easier. Just allow the iron to get hot, apply a bit of solder and then wipe clean. Use a rosin core solder with a thickness appropriate for the job. On circuit boards use a thin diameter (.093 or smaller) and then larger as the wire diameter increases. Hope this helps, I was a NASA certified solderer 40+ years ago when I worked in the R&D Lab on the Apollo program.

Sorry I can't confirm either way. The solder comes exactly as pictured, coiled like a spring, no identifying marks on the solder or on the box. I actually had my own lead free so just used that.

Yes, two screws in the holder. THe "lock" slips in and out when you release the connector. I've had them for almost a year and think they are great.

The iron holder cannot easily be removed, it is welded on. I could be cut off. Love my boards, wish I had purchased on years ago.

This soldering iron does not have replaceable tips. It is a solid unit. It only 'looks' like one of Weller's regular replaceable tip irons.

Yes it does contain a solderlesd breadboard, You can check out this link: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoStarterKitGallery

Hi Christy, yes it does. It is a black wire holder that fits into pre-set holes. It does fit firmly into place when inserted and seems to be heavy duty enough to support some big books, etc.

If you drilled out the rivets that hold it on, yes. If n it, no. It doesn't seem like it would be hard to drill out the rivets.I love everything about the ironing board except the iron holder. It cradles the iron rather than is a stand area for it. It feels awkward. Otherwise it is rad. My hubby is a VERY large man-shirts are huge, this board is wide enough that the shirt doesn't touch the ground while I'm ironing it.It's sturdy and seems like it will last for years.

No it does not. However the cord is extremely long and wraps around the base of the iron quite well.

No. In fact, it's simply just a holder for various devices. It doesn't include any electrical components at all.

This is a great device and I use it extensively for soldering and desoldering. A soldering stand is included. A sponge is not. Small concern for such an effective device. I wish I had had one years ago.

Yes, this is a very good soldering iron. I used one for several years to solder numerous projects including an LED array (10x10x10) for an IEEE project using steel wires.
