Customer Notice Be Alert

I received the product a few days ago, I enjoyed using it, I opened everything, I had to receive a repackaged unit, first I noticed the state in which it has been delivered, you always know when someone has already been inside. First clue was that everything was just scattered, sec. I noticed something like a knock just lying there ๐Ÿ˜‘ it's disappointing, I plugged it in, set the temp and checked, it was 103 degrees ๐Ÿ˜ณ wtf, so those Sensor temp not working properly so I decided to solder the battery pack I need to assemble and with the iron on its almost middle position didn't melt brad piont. WTF. not hot enough it dropped to 210 degrees so i set it to the highest limit. and waited about 3 minutes, it took some pressure on the heating sore to heat the head to build up the temperature at which the old solder would melt. WTF ๐Ÿค” (It shouldn't work like that). (That's not how it all works). I took the solder out of the box and found that it had already been used. it was laden with old solder. I had to STOP EVERYTHING, thoroughly clean and lubricate the o-rings, now it works. I put the suction cup back to assemble and tried again, grabbing the soldering iron and placing it on the board. Ahhh wait --- just kidding. No luck remelting the old solder, I had to use a heat gun which works fine, but I haven't checked the temperature of the heat gun or if it was actually accurate. I thought what the heck, that's probably not the case, but it happened. Melt the solder, whatever it is. . Pros: The heat gun ๐Ÿ”ซ worked, but the iron sucks, my old $9 Walmart soldering iron works a lot better ๐Ÿ‘ and is more reliable. Oh, and I checked the ground wire that goes all the way in. Dose isn't good enough, there's a lot of resistance in that ground lug and/or wire. Now I can reverse engineer it for the price I paid. I will do that. Don't return it and I know I can improve on the current design. In order to work better, to make this a future project, it's sitting in a pile of junk in a corner that I hope to reach one day.

Pros
  • Smart Temperature Control. With a high-precision PID program, the station can track and correct the actual temperature at high speed with fast temperature compensation to ensure the accuracy your projects require.
Cons
  • It was possible to choose a newer model
