Soldering Iron Kit, 80W 110V Fast Heat up in 10s LCD Digital Adjustable Temperature Soldering Gun Thermostatic Soldering Kit for Electronic

Tested it out yesterday, set it for Fahrenheit, and set the temp. Slight learning curve with only two buttons, but instructions on box made it fairly straightforward. Heats up quick enough, my only beef is the stand is kinda small and the cord is kinda short, but for roughly 10 bucks; excellent value.

Worked awesome on repairing my 05 avalanche wiring harness. Made my job professional. Heat shrink after soldering. Perfect. Adust heat works great.

Received my iron yesterday and so far I'm very pleased. Until now I've always just bought those cheap $5 harbor freight or Walmart soldering irons and while this iron is not really much more expensive than those it's a big step up when you talk about features. Adjustable temperature which seems to work well with a digital display that you can change from Celsius to Fahrenheit. it has a calibration mode so you can calibrate it to make sure that it's accurate. It heats up fast and gets hotter than any of the irons I've had in the past so it melts solder very fast if you set the temperature well. Features I didn't know that it had but and pretty pleased with so far this iron has an auto off feature that turns the iron off after a period of time that the iron is not used, and it knows when you actually pick the iron up it's even got a little indicator on the digital display that looks like a hand that indicates whether it's in use and disappears when the iron is set down and in standby so it allows the iron to slowly cool while you're not using it but then when you pick it up it quickly gets back up to temperature. Then if you set it down and leave it for a certain amount of time it shuts the iron off completely. I've left quite a few soldering irons fortunately they were just those $5 ones plugged in and forgotten about them overnight even so this is a nice feature. On top of that the tips that come with this iron seem to be of a material that doesn't collect oxidation and corrode as fast as those cheap soldering irons with solid rod type iron tips.. so far I'm very happy with it.

I needed something of decent quality but didn't want to invest in a full soldering station. This works great and heats up quickly. The included tips are handy and easy to replace.

I recently went on a small amateur radio expedition (DXpedition) to the Galapagos Islands (HD8M). I needed an inexpensive and portable soldering iron for the tool kit so I bought this one. I used it a couple times before we left just to be sure it worked and to change the display from C to F. It heats up faster than I expected and did the couple minor jobs at home easily. Once on the island, I needed to solder three things. The first two went smoothly but on the third the iron didn't seem to stay hot enough. These were small jobs soldering ring terminals to 18 gauge copper wire. On the last one, I think I saw the numbers flashing as if the iron had an issue. In all fairness, we had problems with the AC voltage at our location and I now believe that the fluctuating voltage may have confused the soldering iron (it has a circuit board in the handle to regulate the temperature). When all three radios would transmit at the same time and if we had an air conditioner, coffee pot, or toaster oven running, the lights would go dim or flicker. More than once this caused our radios to reboot. I think this is what caused the soldering iron to struggle a bit. After I got home I checked to be sure the ceramic element was intact and that the tip was still ok. I plugged it in and it heated right up. No further issues. I tinned the tip with fresh solder and will put it away until the next trip. One observation... probably because of the way I held it, once or twice I accidentally pressed one of the buttons to adjust the temperature. It didn't change by much. I'll have to pay attention to how I grip it in the future. I would definitely recommend this to someone who needs an iron for occasional use. If you solder frequently (more than once every week or two), you might want to invest in something more robust. KE2D

I’m only a novice at soldering. For years I was never able to figure it out, but in the past year I’ve read a lot and watched a lot of YouTube videos and finally have been able to do some basic soldering on connectors and stranded wire. I bought this soldering iron to have one a little better quality than the cheap ones I have from harbor freight, Walmart, etc. I like all the accessories it comes with. It’s nice to be able to choose the temperature, though I’ll admit I’m not experienced enough to be able to say “turn it to THIS temperature when doing THIS job”. Still, this is a good unit if you want to learn soldering and have a tool that’s more versatile than the cheap ones in the stores. If I soldered for a living, I’m sure I’d want a Weller or another top brand, but I only do soldering every now and then and mostly it’s for car electronics like stereos, speakers, amps, and things like remote start systems. You can’t beat it for the price, and it works well to do a quality job for a DIY.

The stand is a joke. Too small and perhaps dangerous. The included sponge is worthless as less than the thickness of a sheet of paper. The rosin is rock hard and therefore useless. The solder iron seems ok, but I had to raise it to 475C before it would melt solder properly.

All I can say is WOW. Please do not disregard because of the price. Just got it. Took it for a test drive. And I have never had a solder as nice as this one. For the price it is so worth it. Please give it a chance. And you will be amazed at quality and performance.
