Professional Soldering Station, Soldering Iron Hot Air Rework Station,Digital Solder Iron Station Welding Tool Kit with Heat Gun Set for Electronics Computer Repairing

Best beginner station by far. I'm just learning, and realized I need a solder station.Used this bad buy to swap a fuse on a PCB and it worked better than expected.I was a dope and forgot to remove the plastic cap on the soldering iron, My fault, not sellers!Iron gets hot quick, gun gets hot quick. Came with 3 different size tips.Box has a fan setting which is convenient (Increments of 10 or 10% per say).Box is light, I plan to add rubber feet to the bottom to help it not slide around.Solder iron holder is cheap metal, I plan to get a better iron holder. For the price though, no complaints. I love this thin already, will update comment about it's longetivity.Overall, I HIGHLY Recommend.

Only time will tell if it stands up to use

I found this to be a good kit to have if you are starting out in projects and soldering like me. I was able to do quite a few projects and repairs with this device which is great. This kit was definitely the best way to start. It comes with all the tools you will need from the stand to avoid burning yourself to hot air gun for helping with reflow. There is also a sponge to clean your solder tips after use. The stand I wish was a bit more integrated into the other part of the stand but that is okay. With this device, I am able to resolder or solder a bunch of wires with it without trouble. I was able to mod my game boy color with an LED screen with this soldering iron. I was able to replace the charging port on a switch light with the heat station. There are several tips and one being a thin tip to make it easier to solder those small devices. The same goes for the hot air gun. It does come with tweezers and a solder sucker. There is an adjustable temperature for both devices to ensure you have the proper temperature when soldering. It does take time for the device to heat up so do not jump the gun. Also note that anything close to the metal tip will be HOT. There is an on off switch but I would recommend just unplugging it when you are not using it just to be on the safe side. The on off will turn both devices off. You can easily press and set the temperature you want for the individual devices. The metal stand is a bit thin and I was scared of it falling over. The other device tucks well into the stand. The heat gun tips do feel a bit loose. I have had issues with them falling off which is a bit of a bummer. I would say when working with soldering irons be in an well ventilated room and be sure not to touch too close to the tip because it is hot. The wires and plugs are very sturdy so you do not have to worry about them falling off or anything. Overall I think this soldering set is great. It provides you with two main tools the different tips. The tips unfortunately on the heat gun do fall off form time to time. It is not very sturdy but this is definitely a great starter kit for anyone looking to start soldering. The controls are easy to use and it does not take long to heat up.

This soldering iron works great for small electronic projects and basic soldering jobs. Setting the temperature was a bit confusing at first, but once it was set it seemed to hold the temperature well. The hot air gun worked well to reflow some small soldering joints, although it was hard to aim it precisely. My only complaint is that the base was very light, causing it to slide around while maneuvering the tools.

I occasionally do electrical rework at home, so figured I'd give this solder station a try. For this review, I'll summarize my likes and dislikes, and then discuss some of them in more detail.LIKES-- Gives me temperature control, unlike a cheap plug-in iron-- Proves hot air capability-- Individual power switches for hot air gun and iron-- Hot air gun has controlled turnoff when placed in cradle-- An inexpensive hobbyist station-- Has a slide-on attachment piece to attach the base station to the work surfaceDISLIKES-- Very lightweight unit with no rubber feet-- Appears to only provide units in degrees C-- No instructions provided (which is why I can only assume units cannot be changed)-- Iron holder is a joke (see photo). Sponge would dry out with a couple of swipes-- Hot air gun tips are extremely difficult to attach and remove-- No feedback for the iron on when it has reached temperature (but there is on hot air gun?!!!)-- Temperature adjustment is slow (no speedup after a couple of seconds if you hold the button down)So the first thing that stood out is that there is no feedback on the iron temperature, yet there is on the hot air gun. This puts this unit in a lower class of solder stations. I also didn't like that we have only a flimsy piece of tin to hold the iron. This is a safety issue for me, because if the cord slips off the table, your 600 degree solder iron will end up in your lap. They should have made the holder somehow attach to the base. I also laughed when I saw the 'sponge', which is about as thin as a quarter and will probably be ruined after a few uses. You should just plan on purchasing a waterless coiled brass tip cleaner for about 8 bucks. The hot air gun tips are difficult to get on and off, because it looks like they just dented the two sides of the gun so that the little nub on the tip can slide in and twist-lock. I had a difficult time getting it on, and an even harder time getting it off after it was heated. You might be able to grab it with pliers and twist it, but I didn't try that.A nice thing about the hot air gun is that the base provides a proper cool-down when you return the gun to it's base. It will turn the fan on high and the heat off, then once the temperature reaches 100, it continues to keep the fan on for another 15 or 20 seconds, then the unit shuts off. You should NEVER just turn it off at the switch, or your heating element will not last long. This is where the missing instructions would come in handy. While this is a nice feature, it is a little inconvenient because every time you put it in the cradle it will shut off. Nicer hot air stations leave the gun going once you power it on, and only when you power it off will it go through the cooldown process.You will want to mount the base to your work surface in some fashion. The base has a mounting piece that comes off with 4 holes for screws (not supplied) - see photo. The base station slides onto it from back to front, so the base station can be removed and stored, but the attachment plate will remain on your work surface. It could also be attached with velcro or double-sided foam tape.Overall, this is a decent hobbyist unit provided you set it up properly and have a proper workspace and are aware of the safety concerns and try to mitigate them. Because of the low price, I am giving it 4 stars.Country of Manufacture: China
