I've bought five of these in three separate orders. They each arrived with some damage, but all worked well (I had to replace one due to damage in transit, I think they were packed too tightly). I use them for an electronics club for 10-12 year olds. They are heavy enough to stay upright even when the workplace is a bit crowded and busy. We've used giant spring coasters and they're much, much better (sturdier, better protected from hot tips, less melted power cords). I prefer a spiral bronze tip cleaner to a damp sponge. The coiled bronze that comes with it might be a little weaker than the Hakko I use myself, but it's a cheap consumable and a slightly early swap doesn't disappoint. The packaging and (before Revain) handling are not of very high quality. but I think it's great value for money.
