The digital display with °C/°F conversion makes temperature control super precise and easy to read. The auto sleep and calibration features help prolong the iron’s life and maintain accuracy.This kit comes loaded with everything you need: two helping hands, six extra iron tips for different tasks, lead-free solder, a solder sucker, and stainless steel tweezers — all high quality and very useful.The soldering iron heats up quickly and maintains a consistent temperature, making soldering smooth and efficient. Overall, this kit offers great value and excellent performance for any electronics or DIY project. Highly recommend!

The item was as described and better. The parts were solid and did not feel cheap. For the price there isn’t a batter choice for the person looking to get excellent work out of solder kit and not take a big hit on their bank account. Functionality is what you’d expect given the correct solder. Cleaning of it is a breeze. The burn rate of course is adjustable so there isn’t any guessing if you know what you’re doing. Bottom line is it’s worth the value for your money. The variety of tips provided may not be for everyone but they give you enough to start and room to add more of your own selection.

I've been tinkering with my guitars lately and wanted to upgrade from a cheap soldering pen to a station for better control. This fit the bill for me well, given the price point and features.As far as the packaging goes, it was as expected, however, my box only included the fine point tip. Regardless, I was going to buy more tips anyway, but still was disappointed.After assembling per instructions (which I've since misplaced...) I was ready to test. Turned the unit on and set my temp (using °F). I was able to solder using the spool they included and it seemed to work well, however I was a bit disappointed with the solder as it didn't seem to be at the temp I had set (300°F). After bumping it up, it performed much better. I knew I had to calibrate this (actual temp was lower then set temp), but I didn't have a 100% accurate thermometer to use, so I estimated. After worrying about it being too hot, I purchased a soldering thermometer reader and finally calibrated to a tolerance range I was comfortable with (+\- 10°F). Now liking this unit a lot for my small projects and occasional use on expensive guitar electronics!Pros:-Digital Readout-Easy assembly-Calibration options-Auto-off timer (w/multiple settings)Cons:-Mine was missing two tips-Instructions not readily available online (I emailed the company w/no response yet, but did find YouTube useful)-Calibration may be off "out of the box" no native support for actual readings-Spool can only mount on left side, which is fine for me but lefties may find this problematic-Helping hands may be too short and flexible for some projects that are bigger a/o heavier.All in all, this is worth the low cost for me. I did have to buy a thermometer to calibrate, but for the cost of this unit, I wasn't expecting pin-point accuracy or an auto-calibration feature. Another useful tool that could be included IMO is either/or a tip cleaner (not a sponge) and a de-soldering wick spool.

Excellent value!I’m coming from a generic pencil soldering iron and a big trigger pull iron and I mainly work on guitars and tube amps. This new one is so much better and really heats up fast and holds temp. Great for occasional use, but is plastic and at this price, it is obviously not designed for a serious pro or daily shop use.Note, some complain about the helping arms not staying in place but make sure to use the supplied nuts that come with it on each arm, and tighten those to the side, not tighten just the arms to the side. (Watch the video!)Pros:Heats up quickly. Easy to read temp display.Holds temperature.Place to hold a roll of solderHelping arms are great and easy to move, has plastic removable endsSmall and does not take much room, self-contained, looks goodMultiple tips supplied, a place to store all, and all actually work wellSupplied solder works well, love the rollerArms can be removedLong cord on the soldering iron making it easy to keep the cord out of the way.Cons:Power cord to the unit is way too short. At least have it long enough it will reach the floor from a standard height table.Could have used a small movable led light, maybe as an extra arm.Heating at the tip is sometimes lacking. I’ve measured the area about the tip to temp, but at the tip it can be significantly less.Overall, I'm crazy OCD doing research and this is the one I landed on after hours of looking around. I've not found a better one with all the accessories in any brick and mortar store nor one at this price online that gets these reviews.

This item solves multiple problems. It holds the hot iron while using, organizes all of the tools need for soldering in one place, has a relatively small footprint and provides "extra hands" to help hold small projects. The iron heats to the melting point quickly and has worked well so far. I like the sponge pad for cleaning the iron tip. Didn't use the solder spool attachment but I like the tweezers and the desoldering tool that comes with it. Great product.
