Pros

The unit turns on the heating element and blower once i take the blower handle out of the cradle. I can set the hot air wand down in the cradle, it automatically cools then turns theblower off, until i pick it up again. It heats quickly and does the j...  Read More

Used it to solder a wire to the motherboard my broken lightboard. I had to order a new backlight fuse on my computer after it shorted.

A nice addition to my workbench. Has agency approvals, so i presume it is reasonably safe to use. But intend to use it much more.

I'm just a hobbyist maker and tinkerer. This machine suits all my needs, in a compact and efficient unit. This is why i wait for awhile before i give a review.



Cons

Worked great, but then wouldn't restart. The station turns on immediately when plugged in and there is no way to turn off the heat unless you unplug it. This is not a soldering kit that got any sort of mileage.

Avoid this product like the plague! This product is beyond defective, it's dangerous. Packaging terrible. Returned to seller for refund.

Quality


Works great have had no problems would recommend an extra tip set


Temp control on the iron is great and the air gun is fantastic for removing components and other tinkering.


The led will return to displaying the preset temperature once the handle is removed from the cradle.


Got this to replace a digital soldering iron that wouldn’t work right.

Price

Works perfectly for $100 guitars and $1000 guitars.


As you can see it has paid for itself 100 times over.


The stereo in my jeep went kaput and i got a quote for $4000 to upgrade and replace everything.

Product arrived on time and well protected packaging.

    Just in case you thought it was a typo let me confirm that it was going to be 4k to fix my radio problems

    Its worth noting that while the fan does not turn on until you pick the gun up it does not shut off when setting it back down so be careful you dont burn yourself or other nearby objects


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I would support this company and look for their other products if they deliver similar quality across the board

    If there is anything that could be improved it would be a stronger airflow or cfm
