Yep, it's a great little device.

Although he seems to offer some bad (IMHO) smt soldering advise. In all the howto there is not one mention of using flux.

Hmmm - the solder I recommend on my site is a flux core solder. I've never needed to use any additional flux except for the tiny TSSOP chips, which I don't describe how to solder on my site. I've been meaning to describe those, just haven't had the time yet. I do use additional flux for those, but for all the stuff that I describe on my site I've never needed any additional flux than what is already in the core.
