Overall a great piece of kit. I probably won't use the magnifying glass but a great feature to have. The base/holder for the iron it's self could have a bit more weight to it but overall I can't complain and would buy again as long as current one lasts long enough

This product works great for what I need, it heats up quickly and just general solders well. The main thing I dislike about the product though, is that there is not on/off switch on the actual iron, so the mains switch is the only way to turn it off. The desoldering pump provided works okay, but the plastic end tends to get a little burnt by the hot solder and iron. It’s worked fine for what I’ve needed so far though. I would, however, say that it is really good value for money considering what you get from it! And I would recommend a first time buyer getting it, but do be warned that the quality isn’t the best.

In terms of the bits and pieces you get, this is good value. However the soldering iron does not fit snugly and securely in the stand supplied but it works and is a lot better than no stand. I can't comment on the solder iron's heat up time due to the difficulties described in my next paragraph. The solder sucker works. So to my main gripe and a very important one. The tip does not come pre-tinned. That might seem trivial except that it has steadfastly refused to accept solder on its surface! This makes the soldering iron unusable. Though I have used soldering irons extensively in my younger days I have never been faced with an un-tinned tip so never appreciated that preparing a new untinned tip can be tricky and that if it is done incorrectly it may never tin or its coating may be permanently damaged and its life significantly reduced. I would urge the manufacturer to include instructions on preparing the tip for use and in the absence of such instructions recommend that future buyers seek advice before heating the iron up for the first time.Read full review

I had one job to do with this solder Iron so didn’t want to spend big. The magnifying and grip stand are very sturdy and have a good weight to hold circuit boards. Iron heats up fairly quickly. The pump could be a bit stronger although again done my job. For a cheap unit I am very happy with the purchase.

Not sure whether the heating element or the fuse has gone, but after two hours use desoldering, it's broken. Good price, nice features, but not very robust.
