Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Simple temp up/down * with good tactile response. Heats up fast and is very user friendly (laughing at myself because there is only two *) the digital temp readout is very handy and operates well.

It's a fantastic machine that makes soldering a pleasure. It's as good as any weller or hakko station i've used. The only thing you will need is solder of your choice.

The ergonomics (fancy for feel and grip in my hand) are awesome as it is not to cumbersome in my medium sized hands. Great customer service.

Iron has a sturdy stand to hold the hot iron during use and a sponge and brass sponge for cleaning the iron’s tip. Good iron for the price. Desperately needed to replace my old beat to * soldering irons but couldn't afford a weller or a haako.



Cons

This soldering station is now essentially worthless unless i source a replacement for that part (which i cannot find) recommend buying other unit. Station heats up quickly and is nice when it works.

This iron has nice temp control and works well for auto wiring.


Not made cheaply or of poor design.


This thing heats up to temp super fast, can't tell you what a joy it is to use a modern soldering iron.

Price


For the price, this solder station is a great value.


Great value and hasn’t skipped a beat!


I had tried soldering in the past with a simple, inexpensive iron and had problems.


At this price point, i wasn't expecting much.

Shipping


I had one minor issue with a missing part and the vendor was very quick to make it right.


Now its so fast i have to wait till i'm done soldering to have my beer.

Packaging/appearance


I purchased this unit and it came nicely packed, after setting everything up i turned this bad boy on and instantly you can see...  Read More

Competitiveness


I think it's worth buying this and saving some move as opposed to buying some of the more expensive models available.


In my opinion, this solder station is superior to weller brand stations that cost more than twice as much.


It's as good as any weller or hakko station i've used.


It has all of the features of much more expensive models and some that are even better.

    This unit will not disappoint im still new to soldering so i started out with one of those cheap pen soldering irons you get from the hardware store which worked fine until recently i tried to use it and it wouldnt melt the solder it would just start burning the board
