YIHUA 926LED IV 60W Digital Soldering Iron Station Kit w Temperature Stabilization for Soldering & Desoldering w Helping Hands 5 Soldering Iron Tips Lead-Free Solder Solder Sucker UK Plug (Silver)

I purchased this as I wanted a whole 'station' i could pick up and move on and off a shelf above my workbench without hunting for each item or having to unpack from a kit each time i needed it. The soldering stations works well for my electronics hobby needs. the magnifying glass has a light but feels a bit of a gimmick as both the glass and light are only tiny, I do like that they made this connect with no other wires so it just plugs directly into the station base. The soldering iron itself works well and has quite a bit of thermal mass so I had no issues with larger components. The soldering iron grip is comfortable and the length of the cable seems fine. I would of liked a more powerful light maybe with a fume extractor/filter instead of the magnifying glass but that's just personal preference.

Very impressed with this little soldering station ,the helping hands are a must too, plenty of heat for what I needed ,done my 10awg wires no problems at all,I like the fact you can store different temperatures too.good purchase, I can't comment on use over time as it won't get an awful lot of use, but it all seems well made and the iron handle itself is nice and insulated too.

Pros: gets hot up to temperature very fast. Holder is secure and guarded, temperature control is excellent, solder and holder work well. A small footprint for desk space optimization, light magnify lense, wire holders, settings for quicker working.Cons: the mains plug is short, the wire holders (crocodile clips) aren't as stiff for setting positions as I want, the magnify lense light isn isolated from main switch, although it has its own switch meaning heating up iron if you only wanted to use the light for other uses. I'd have liked tool bit holders on the unit for the extra bits.Overall I was pleased with this unit and I think it offers great features, not all the best but worth having regardless. I'd recommend it though I am a novice user.

I recently purchased an amateur soldering kit, and it's been a fantastic investment for someone just starting out in electronics! The kit came with everything I needed to get started, including a soldering iron, solder, a variety of tips, a stand, and even a few practice components. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, making the learning curve much smoother than I expected.The soldering iron heats up quickly and maintains a consistent temperature, which is crucial for making clean, reliable joints. The included tips are of good quality, and the variety allows for versatility in different projects. I also appreciated the added extras like the desoldering pump and wire cutter, which have come in handy more than once.For a beginner like me, this kit offers incredible value. It’s user-friendly and well-suited for anyone looking to explore the world of soldering without breaking the bank. Whether you're fixing small electronics or working on DIY projects, this kit has you covered. Highly recommended for anyone interested in getting started with soldering!

Very happy with the build quality and design easy to use comes with most things you would need to use straight out of the box very easy to setup only issue and it is not really a problem is I would like the mains cable to be a little longer but apart from that everything with this product is really good really like how fast it is to get to temperature like the sleep and wake up feature and love the tinning pot very useful really like this product

Decided it was time to upgrade my many years old Weller soldering iron. I have had this new iron for several months now and it has been faultless. I like the way it gets up to the set temperture very quickly, and goes into sleep mode when not used for a while, The bits ( which include a couple of spares) are easy to keep clean and don't 'disolve' away like my old naked copper ones did. It is ideal for PCB work but I still use my old soldering iron for anything a bit bigger. The twin flexible arms with their crock clips, are ideal for holding small items and especially short lengths of solder. My only criticism is that being light weight, it would slide around a bit until I made a small tray to hold it on the bench.

Having used this for around 12 months. I wanted to come back and update my review.Firstly at the price point it is very good for money and represents excellent value.The build quality seems to be good and I have had no issues with any part of this breaking/failing.The selection of tips is handy and makes the iron versatile for lists of uses.Overview:I have used this quite heavily over the last 12 months and to date have had no issues at all. I would recommend having a separate helping hand so you can position your work in a better place. Also the solder that comes with the unit I don’t rate highly. Good soldering starts with quality solder and I have found Draper solder one of the best for good clean joints. I am still using the same tip which is still in great condition and the temperature range is working great as expected.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Expected it be a good soldering station, but it stopped working completely after a few weeks of use. It's now in the garbage bin.
