Review on πŸ”₯ High Temperature Soldering Iron Kit for Efficient Desoldering by Patrick Mccall

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Soldering Iron Hard Solder

I needed a better soldering iron to fix an old console (Xbox). I searched online, used Fakespot and finally came across this one because it had a lot of honest reviews and looked like a pretty awesome setup. The iron itself heats up quickly the first time you use it. I cleaned the tip and used the included stand, flux and sponge as I proceeded to desolder and replace the five capacitors. The temperature control was useful, although I wish there was a display that showed the actual temperature. At least there's a faint light shining through the handle to indicate when it's on. A small solder sucker (vacuum cleaner) also worked like a charm. Much easier to use than the cheaper ones I bought years ago (softer spring, good suction without much banging). The included accessories are useful, the stand is heavy enough to hold the iron in place when not in use, and the case holds almost everything very well (some items fit loosely, like shrink bags). For such a price. This is a great little kit for a short time or the occasional repair.
