 soldering iron August 21, 2010
Lawrence N. Couch (wichita, ks., US)
it seems to work fine heats up fast maybe a little too hot too fast . when i first got it it shut it's self off,un pluged & repluged it was fine. i'm haveing a hard time tinning cone tip.
 Its ok August 6, 2010

The product seemed to work ok. I think I was expecting more from it. It comes in a blisterboard package so you can't put everything "back in the box" when you finish... and there are several small parts. Also I was hoping for some better instruction on use, care, and safety because it was my first attempt at soldering.
 Doesn't last long August 5, 2010

After having to use this soldering iron for school I find that it isn't very good.
- Takes forever to heat up
- After a few uses I would need to replace the tip (even after tinning and proper care)
- The tip became loose after only two soldering joints were applied
- After replacing the tip there was a lot of black build up between the body and the tip.
I don't recommend this soldering iron to anyone in the electronics field. However if you are just soldering wires together it gets the job done!

if you want to work on electronics, this is a good, cheap soldering iron for you. it comes with very little solder, so you need to buy some more (if you didn't know that already) The stand kinda sucks and the packaging was frustrating to open ,even with a knife, but everything else works well (the included alternative tips are a plus)
overall it is a good buy for a small price
P.S. This gets HOT!!! (of course it does, it's a soldering iron, I am saying this because I burned myself like a dumbass when I used it)
 bad tips June 14, 2010

I was very excited to try this soldering iron for jewelry work. But, within 1-2 hours, the tip would no longer solder. I followed the instructions on how to tin the tip, and cleaned with wet sponge after each use.. But the tip turned black anyway and would not melt the solder anymore. I tried sanding the tip to remove the black, and that did not really work either. And, there is no way to find replacement tips. I went to Lowe's and Home Depot-- and nothing. But i liked it for the first hour or so it was working. :)
