Review on 🔧 WORX WX991L 20V MAKERX Combo Kit by Walter Martin

I grabbed a Makerx rotary tool and soldering iron pack when I was looking for a replacement rotary tool and I'm writing this is about 6 months later after my purchase as i know very well how the initial time after buying a new cool instrument can cause a brief period of fanatical syndrome before i admit to many obvious problems. However, I'm happy to report that I still use the Makerx system on a daily basis. So the best parts. First, it's incredibly light and thin, which is an advantage over some other cheap rotary tools that are almost bulky. The speed is 100% constant as long as you don't use the tool too much or apply too much torque, which is standard with most rotary tools and helps prevent fingers and wrists from getting broken easily. This is a precision tool and should not be used in place of the great masters or the Makita drill press or a real drill press. What I like most about it is that it's quiet, and I've used it a lot at 3am in my small one-bedroom apartment, where normal conversations can keep the neighbors awake. While some other rotation tools have similar functionality, such as B. the WEN cordless rotary tool, which is powered by a 4.2V lithium-ion battery, the Makerx is powered by a 20V battery with the same capacity as any other replacement power tool battery. gives the Makerx immeasurably more power, speed and battery life. As for the soldering iron, it has become my go-to soldering iron for everyday use. I also have 2 TS80 Smart soldering irons and a special soldering station. Before that, my main soldering iron was the $100+ TS80, but Makerx has since surpassed it. It also heats up quickly, holds heat and cools down very quickly, has a built in temperature gauge and controls on the iron and it works. I can use the tips quickly, but the original tip is still perfect for this. Of course I can't play Pacman on it or program the temperature to rise as I solder things with higher heat dissipation properties, but that's really not necessary. I turn it on and solder. that's all. Both devices give me the power and power of a standard power tool while still being very portable. As for the cons, there are cons everywhere. I noticed that the rotary tool had a tendency to catch on the built-in chuck, especially when I pushed it past its torque limit. I don't know if this is a specific issue with my device or all of them. However, as a DIYer, I prefer to do my own repairs and Makerx makes it incredibly easy. You have no screws. You unscrew the top and bottom rings, and the rotary tool easily disassembles into small, easily swappable modules. It's nice just to look at it to see the small details that went into its development. I don't think the spring was as strong as it should have been, but I ended up removing the chuck because using an object nearby is just as easy as using a key, and this completely eliminates the possibility of a problem out. It cannot be used even without a battery. So if you only have one battery, don't use it until it's recharged, which is pretty quick, but being able to use mains power is quite annoying at times. However. I understand that adding a power supply and charger to a power hub will significantly increase the size, weight and most likely cost. So, like all great tools, we have to deal with some annoyances in order to improve. As for the soldering iron I have no cons to report other than wishing they had a hot knife blade but yes I bought one. and this just goes to show how useful it is.
