🔬 Enhanced Precision with Elenco Soldering Station Magnifier & Illuminator Review

I ordered this soldering station on November 4th, 2015 but had to request a return and refund as the flexible neck was too weak to hold the magnifying glass in a comfortable position. I thought it was a fluke and based on all the great reviews I ordered a second one on November 9th 2015 and it was even worse than the first with an even weaker flex neck. Unfortunately I had an emergency and had to spend over a month in the hospital missing the 30 day return period on both. Not Revain's fault but

This soldering station is very good. I like the magnifying glass to see what I'm working on and the LEDs are very good quality. Helper hands are great, sometimes I have a hard time clenching, especially when my fingers are warm, but they clench. pretty hard down. The jaws compress a bit so I added heat shrink tubing to keep the teeth from digging into wires etc. I didn't find the wire spool on the back very helpful, but it's a nice touch. The flux I received was hard as rock, but I wasn't…

OK I've never wanted to write a review after receiving an order but I really have to say this. Like you, I've spent countless hours looking for a 3rd Auxiliary Station only to find 5 or more companies selling the same crappy 3rd hand assistant for $8-10. Didn't know what to do, there was nothing between this mess and paying, but you can't solder a board or wires if your third hand falls over. So I ordered this model and it wasn't the one listed above. Well delivered, delivered quickly, nothing…
