I saw one of these at Radio Shack and I had to buy it.

Anybody used these before and know if they really hold up to the claims?

You'll need a steady hand for anything other than very simple PCB's !

I've used it to repair traces on PCB's that I etched. I don't know if it will take soldering though.

If you want to etch your own PCB's you can use a Magic Marker as etch resist. Thats how I started when I was a kid with limited finances.
