Okay folks, that's epic

I'm going to technical college (Abitur) for half a day to study mechatronics. My teacher had one. He let me use it because I soldered well and it wouldn't break. I love it. And so I bought one. I use it almost every day, the default is 420Β°C. The only criticism I have is that the plug is not the most common, the most common doesn't fit. So I found a matching plug, soldered wires to it, and then soldered a socket to the wires for the more common plug. Now it's basically universal and I can plug it into most PSUs. I highly recommend updating github's custom firmware. Unlike traditional soldering irons that you just stick into the wall, this one has intelligent temperature control. Whenever a large piece or mass of solder sucks heat out of the tip, it adjusts its power to get back to the set temperature as quickly as possible. Most conventional AC soldering irons do not stop heating and can be damaged if left on for too long. Not this one. Whenever it reaches the set temperature, it limits the output so that it does not fall below or exceed this temperature. What really says something about the durability is that the heating element is not in the iron itself but in the tip. If the heating element breaks on an ordinary iron, no more advice will help. But with that, if the heating element fails, just buy a new tip. You get a new heating element and a new shiny tip in one purchase. The tips are inexpensive, high quality, and the hardware itself is high quality and has variable performance through firmware. That's great. The only soldering iron you will ever need for electronics.

Pros
  • Soldering and soldering accessories
Cons
  • So far so good
