You get a lot of bang for your buck with this soldering station. I didn't test the DC power supply section, but did test the soldering iron section for accurate temperatures. A K-type thermocouple made by Fluke that I read an iron tip temp of 630 degrees when the reading was set to 700. I used the supplied instructions to calibrate and got a reading of around 704, which is good. I switched tips and the other tip showed 660 when the display was set to 700. So since the heating element isn't tight against the tips, might that be the cause of the mismatch? I have another soldering station that I own, the tips fit the heating elements perfectly and the temperature is very accurate and stable. I haven't decided yet whether I want to keep this product or not? However, the build quality looks good. I wonder how difficult it is to get additional clues?
