Looks like you'd have pretty much anything you'd ever need to work on your rig in that kit.

A cheap low wattage iron is always handy to have as lumping a station everywhere is not practical and not every has that kinda space to leave it on a desk.
The only down side is thats got an American plug on it heating elements are not like phone chargers and pc psus they tend to like 1 voltage ie 110v or 240v or what ever the area is using. May not apply to you but its the same with hair straighteners you cant just get a convertor plug for it it will burn out.
The kits fine but id probs go somewhere like maplin and get a 5.99 iron to replace that if your in the uk.
