Review on πŸ”₯ Soldering Iron Kit 80W 110V LCD Digital with Ceramic Heater - Portable Soldering Kit for Metal, Jewelry & DIY - Includes 5pcs Tips, Stand, Solder Tube & Sponge by Francisco Russell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice and hot on the iron

Haven't soldered much yet but initial reviews are good. It's thin and heats up quickly, maybe 10 seconds from the finish. The control buttons on the handle set the desired temperature or switch it on/off. The deluxe kit includes spare tips, 50g 0.6mm solder (unknown alloy), flux paste, wire stripper with built in punch, fine tweezers, minimalist stand, tip wrench. , the smallest sponge I've ever seen, and two lengths of wire about 2 m each, about 22 acres. If it's 90 watts, it should be able to do big heavy stuff. Maybe I don't know the solder alloy which means I can't use it as it might be lead based. Anyway, I have lots of solder and my own brand of liquid flux. I could take the holder from my old soldering iron and make a heavy base for it to use with this new type. Edit: I still like this after some use. It heats up so quickly that I turn it off after each use and turn it back on for the next set of cords. So much less hot tip oxidation and I never forget to turn it off again.

Pros
  • Clear digital display
Cons
  • High price
