Review on Enhance Soldering Precision with ECG πŸ”§ JT-103 Replacement Tip for J-045-DS De-Soldering Iron by Timothy Weems

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Garbage. You'll need tons of these, they don't last long.

I bet 10,000 tips is $10, but we pay $4 to $5 each. Tips are junk so buy lots of parts. The machine that came with the EKG iron I bought didn't last a single project (about 2.5 hours) and fell apart - there's a big hole halfway up the sides. 2 tips are $10, but a new EKG iron with a tip is only $20? Obviously this is a deliberate money-making scheme. Update: I bought a vacuum desoldering station. The tips provided last 3-5 times longer or even longer than fake EKG tips and are cheaper too.

Pros
  • Welding and Soldering
Cons
  • Weak
