This temperature control tool is a must-have in any industrial and scientific setting. It allows for precise adjustment that ensures perfect soldering for a range of applications. The durable build quality guarantees it will withstand heavy use for years. One small drawback is its high price point. Overall, highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and precise tool.
Pros
Accurate temperature control for precise soldering applications
Cons
High temperature range may be too hot for some delicate electronic components
Good size base chisel tip for 60/40 electrical and through electronics work. Fits my MX500 handpiece. Heats up fast enough to melt the solder and then stays at exactly the same temperature. I'm a lucky tourist.
This is the best all-purpose tip for everything but small surface mount devices. Great for larger SMT devices and pass-through components and when you need more heat than the STTC-122 can deliver but don't have room for the STTC-117.
