I'm an electrical engineer by trade and needed a soldering iron for a home project. I bought this device as the price was amazing for the features it offered and the accessories that came with it. There were several in this price range but the red color caught my eye; I've been using blue for over 30 years. Yes I know it looks silly but I have to leave it at home and had to consider the identification aspect :-) Anyway, I was amazed by the quality and capabilities of this device. Temperature control with LED display is crucial nowadays as all lead-free and low mass solder connections must be done on surface mount boards. It comes with a good arrangement of tips that can hit the 0805 cap or heavy rectifier wire gently. It also comes with useful tweezers, a solder spool holder and even a spool of SnCu 0.7 solder. Really great price for a home workbench. In fact, I can buy another one for work as it's much better than the one I have on my lab bench and costs a lot less. Highly recommended!
