I was quite surprised just how good this solder station is - it doesn't take very long to heat up and the iron sits quite nicely in the hand. It comes with a bag of extra tips, which is a good thing as the one installed in the iron is a pointy affair which is not much use, at least to me. I swapped it out for a chisel tip and it was fine. The base is heavy enough that there's no chance of tipping it over, in fact it really feels pretty solid. A couple of small gripes - the wire connecting the iron to the station base is not replaceable, so neither is the iron. If it goes u/s then the whole thing's had it. Also the wire comes out of the back of the base, which is a bit silly really. It would make more sense to come out the front, where you actually are. The only other thing is that the spiral cage which holds the iron when it's hot could hold it a little better, but it is adequate. To be honest I was a little dubious about buying this solder station because it just seemed a bit too cheap to be any good, but I took a chance and I'm very happy I did as it turned out to be every bit as good as others I've used that cost a hell of a lot more. No idea how long it will last yet but for home use I would certainly recommend it.Read full review

I was pleased to see that this soldering iron came with an assortment of soldering tips interchangable! Its light and easy to use. The support on the control box base is strong unlike some that wobble and wave around. This one stayed secure and I was confident using it as a pensioner of 72 my hands shake a bit. Thios is the 3rd and best I have bought. The others actually fell over while hot because there bases were not strong/heavy enough, and there was no way to hold them down unless i G clamped them to the table! I think the price was ok. More than the others I had bought but as I said they were useless to dangerous. All in I recommend this soldering iron!

It gets hot and melts solder. The tip I have used a couple of times hasn't started to pit (Good) It would be nice to have a silicone lead running to the iron from the unit, but at this price you shouldn't expect such features.

Iv had this for several months now and its still going strong, i use it almost daily for all my general soldering (mainly wires onto boards and tinning etc) heats fast but i always have to have it turned right up to max to get nice clean flowing solder joints especially with lead free solder, leaded solder can run slightly lower but not much. It did have one problem the the tip holder falling out but i used a center punch on the main body to keep it in place and its been perfect since

First class and superb value. One minor crticism. A larger, slant-faced tip would have been useful to take advantage of the iron's prodigious heat production.I was not able to solder SLIGHTLY larger items that I would normally solder easily with a lower wattage tool simply because there was no suitable tip.
