This soldering station is good for DIY projects or professional needs. It heats up quickly and cools down again. You don't have to wait to change the temperature. The digital display shows the current temperature. When you touch the button, it switches to the set temperature. If you don't have a soldering station, this kit contains everything you need to start soldering. It comes with six different soldering tips. Solder roll included. You can start soldering immediately. To protect against static electricity, the soldering iron tip is grounded to the grounding prong on the power cord. I checked with an ohmmeter, you get good value for money.
