Review on 🔥 Enhanced Precision with ECG J 045 DS Electric Soldering Temperature Control by David Thomley

Let's start with the simplest eternal question. Would I recommend it to a friend or buy it again? The answer is simply yes. That's the main thing. Very easy. No temperature control. There is also no on/off switch. You plug it in and it's on. It works? Yes, I would say so. Is it working fine? I've used this for two different projects. First time was desoldering the mouse switch. It wasn't very good for this task. If only the solder didn't soak up so well. It was difficult to unsolder just 4 pins. The second time was a complete unsoldering of the keyboard switch. For some reason. (My guess is lead). This thing worked flawlessly on every switch. Even my 10 year old could desolder a few switches. Squeeze the lightbulb. Wait for the solder to melt. Release the lightbulb. Then press the bulb over the ejection area (I chose an old damp sponge). Keep holding the lightbulb. Put on a new desoldering pin and repeat the process. It was like a machine, a bit boring but very efficient. For this price you can buy so many of them compared to, for example, Hakko. The Hakko is $245 and this one is $26. If it breaks or clogs, just buy another one. It is so easy. I think it might be better to replace the snap ring that came with it. Air will come out of the lamp when you release it. Maybe a hose clamp would work better, or maybe there's a better way to improve suction. You really have nothing to lose by trying this out for your project. It costs the same as solder. Using a solder sucker for larger jobs is a bit tedious. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope it has helped you in your purchase decision.
