As mentioned by several others, the iron's "holder" is a bit flimsy, but I have others that have worked fine. I hope this baby survives. I don't know how to solder but this iron is perfect for tiny pins and pads.

I use it as a hot knife for cleaning 3D prints, not as a soldering iron. As a hot knife I'm not keen, but this is my first attempt at using it. I would like a very thin cutting blade like the Xacto knife - judging by the pictures I assumed I would get it. But what looks like a thin blade is actually more of a diagonal chisel point, too wide for what I intended to use it for. If you're looking for a hot knife for thin cuts, this isn't for you.

The wire was useful, if not enough. The soldering iron itself is actually of decent quality. I'd rather have a soldering iron, a…
