Excellent soldering iron for its price. It heats up very quickly and provides more than enough power for small projects. The construction is pretty solid too, although the part holding the tip tends to unscrew very easily. Nothing special as he never quits, he just moves around a lot when working on a long project. The only downside to this little set is the tips. They are absolute garbage, and even if they are re-canned after each use, they turn to crap very quickly. But for the price I can't complain as it still does the job. Perfect replacement for this soldering iron
