🔥 Aven 17530 Soldering Iron Holder featuring Brass Coil Tip Cleaner Review

Not much to say about that. It arrived at my house in good condition and works well with my TS100. It's metal and has a brass lip, which I like. The price is unbeatable and the quality is top! Simply the best stand for the TS100.

I like this stand very much. It's functional and relatively customizable. It fits all 3 irons I have, although my main iron doesn't quite fit. The tip cleaner works well and the stand has good to fairly good balance. Overall, it works well with a variety of irons. I wish it would fit my main iron better as it doesn't fully seat in the mount but sits low enough for a stable hold.

This stand offers excellent value for money. Basically you get a stand and a brass tip cleaner for the price of a brass tip cleaner. The construction is solid, nice and heavy so I'm not worried about it tipping over. I use it with my Chinese T12 soldering station with handle T12-9501 approx. 18.5mm diameter. The holder is not optimal for my use, but it works. The pen is held in the holder without much risk of falling out, but is very loose. The holder has an inner metal tube with an outside…

I've bought five of these in three separate orders. They each arrived with some damage, but all worked well (I had to replace one due to damage in transit, I think they were packed too tightly). I use them for an electronics club for 10-12 year olds. They are heavy enough to stay upright even when the workplace is a bit crowded and busy. We've used giant spring coasters and they're much, much better (sturdier, better protected from hot tips, less melted power cords). I prefer a spiral bronze…

I've been soldering for many years and was still a clumsy beginner when I bought this product. I found a great video that taught me how to store my tips properly and WOW! It's amazing how such a small thing can change the whole game. I'll give you the gist. 250°C is the tinning temperature. Once the solder (no matter what) is on your tip, "gently" poke the tip into the cleaning pad, twist your wrist, and pull out. You will see that the tip shines with a smooth layer of solder. That's all. Ideal

Understandably arrived with a small brass cup crushed on one side. This was NOT a packaging error as it would have been impossible to crush it itself due to mishandling in packaging for shipping or in transit (the damage was caused and apparently covered up by an employee of the manufacturer). I can't find Aven's contact information. I hope they see this and find a way to get me a replacement brass cup for the tip cleaner. Otherwise it looks perfectly functional. Update: Aven only sells a small

NEW/EDITED REVIEW: So it broke after a few months of light hobby use. I use it to hold my main iron when soldering guitar pickups and I made a guitar pedal out of it. However, I've used it a little more than a few times. The tube protecting the iron started falling out randomly, it's fine, I just put it back in place. But the main part/mug holding the iron started to crumble. The part that engages the metal stand literally fell apart. I am very disappointed because without it the stand is…

Excellent stand, thick metal stand. The cup that holds the metal coil is made of metal, unlike other plastic ones. The receiver is made of heat-resistant Bakelite with a metal tube attached to it. The back panel is perforated for heat dissipation. Bakelite also has perforations for heat dissipation. The weight of the stand is enough to keep it in place. One small issue is the cup doesn't fit snugly so it may take a few turns of teflon tape to fix this. Great price for such a nice stand for my…

I bought this soldering iron stand to replace the cheap foldable aluminum part that came with my soldering iron. I chose this holder over all the others because of the spiral tip cleaner, not the sponge. In terms of quality, the holder makes a well-made impression. It's a comfortable weight and doesn't budge on my desk. My complaint about the quality revolves around the tip cleaner. The rolled metal ball comes in its own small pouch and is crumpled very tightly. The plate that the coil sits in…
