There is no display to set the temperature. Instead, there is a simple dial on the end of the handle, which you rotate to set your soldering temperature. It's simple and effective. The handle is rather large, and smaller hands may struggle to hold the soldering iron, but larger hands should be ok. The soldering iron rests in a stand between projects, and if left for a few minutes, the iron will auto-shutdown to save the tip and the battery.

In the kit (hidden in the base of the fancy stand) are a selection of tips for precision and larger solder joints. The stand also has a spot for a damp sponge to wipe away leftover solder from the tip of the iron.
This is a soldering iron for learners and smaller projects. For learners, because it is easy to use and completely wireless, so there are no trailing wires to worry about. For smaller projects, because it just doesn't have the power for large solder joints, think speaker wire or automobile power terminals.
