Not bad so far
I'm giving this an initial 5 stars just for being as inexpensive as it is and actually doing what it's supposed to. Though I do not have the experience or the knowledge to test all the claims made in the advertising. What I do know is that my main goal was just to have an inexpensive iron with some way to control the temperature (even if it isn't 100% accurate).And importantly for me was the auto shutoff feature in which it shuts off after 5 minutes if you're not holding it or moving it and comes back on when you pick it up. That seems like a brilliant feature for the price of this thing. And it works. I wouldn't leave it plugged in unattended just as you likely wouldn't do with anything that heats up. And especially knowing that sometimes things that don't cost a lot don't cost a lot for a reason.The included tips are just about the only thing I will ever use out of the rest of the included accessories. The solder seems OK for maybe a couple of quick cheap and dirty jobs. The flux seems nearly useless. The stand is next to useless but you're not going to get a decent stand with a soldering iron this cheap.I tried it out. It works. It didn't combust. I'll call that a win for now and update my review later down the road.A few things of note....The power cord is predictably a little stiff and the strain relief is not the greatest. So you're really not going to want to try using the included stand. You want it in a real stand. Or else you will likely get burned or burn something around your work area.Not much else I can say. My first soldering iron in the 80s was a cheap one from Radio Shack that probably costed more than this. And I'm pretty sure it only came with one tip. I would not buy this expecting something that could stand up to a lot of hard use. Though maybe it would. But I doubt it. It's doubtful anyone with a legit soldering station would bother with this thing.The handle stays relatively cool and I found no issues there when using it.Ver másVer menos
