Review on 🌡️ TOAUTO DS90 Station: Advanced Anti Static Temperature Control in °F by Andrew Grant

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Clear temperature display. VERY fast warm-up time to operating temperature.

If you're used to cheap Radio Shack soldering irons, this is a definite step up. First, the heat-up time is incredibly fast. Less than ten seconds after switching on the device, I can already melt the solder. Second, you now have a safe place to iron between sessions. You don't have to worry about it falling down where you put it. And of course you now have the option of setting the temperature, with the device's actual temperature constantly displayed in °F (red) and °C (blue). There is a lot of information (and misinformation) out there about the best soldering temperature. Between 600 and 700°F has worked well for me over the years. This particular device, made in China, comes with additional and varied tips, a good pair of tweezers, a desoldering tool and a holder that can hold two different diameters at the same time. coils for soldering. It's light and the low price shows in the case, but the working parts do their job well and it's easy to set the temperature and use the iron too. This will be a step forward for many home workbenches.
