Premium Soldering Iron Kit, 68W LCD Soldering Tool 12-in-1 Soldering Gun with Ceramic Heater, Adjustable Temperature 200-500°C, Includes Soldering Iron Tips, Solder Wire, Pump, Paste

UPDATE: I included a couple of photos of 18, 16, 14, and 12 gauge wire before and after soldering with this iron. I did not use the included solder, as I don't think it works that well for heavier gauge wire like 14 or 12 gauge. Instead, I used Kester 60/40 .050 solder that you can get right here on Amazon. And while you can use the large knife tip to accomplish what I did, I highly recommend getting larger tips if you are going to do larger soldering projects or heavy gauge wire. You need to match the tip to the job, large pieces need a large tip. Excessive heat is not going to make soldering easier. In fact, it will vaporize the flux very quickly and make it more difficult. I used a 5.2mm chisel tip to do these wires. You can find a pack of 5 here; (just copy and paste or do a search for 900M 5.2mm soldering tips) https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-900M-T-S3-5-2mm-Chisel-Soldering/dp/B008J80YLA/ref=pd_ybh_a_9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HY6ZC252G21GETZK9ZJX Or you can get another assortment pack that includes a 5.2mm chisel tip, a very large bevel tip, and an extra long narrow chisel and conical tip. You can find them here; https://www.amazon.com/Soldering-Tabiger-X-Tronic-Station-Different/dp/B077V1VND5/ref=pd_ybh_a_20?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=0RTTGPXXGG8KPSC79NTR_____________________________________________________________This iron works great for the light to moderate use I will do with it. It heats pretty quickly. Has an adjustable sleep timer, and all you have to do is pick up the iron to wake it up, and in a short time it will be back up to temperature. So be sure to turn it off when you are finished. I was able to solder 12 gauge wire without a problem, and it did it quickly when set at 600 degrees F using the long edge of the knife tip. Smaller gauge wire can be done at lower temperatures. I used Kester 60/40 rosin core solder which is extremely good solder. It takes standard 900M series tips which can be found easily here on Amazon. I prefer to work mostly with "bevel" or "screwdriver" tips, so I got those to use now. If you plan on soldering wires and/or electronics, pick up some rosin flux for electronics to make your soldering much easier. And make sure to coat the tip with solder before putting it away to keep it from oxidizing. If I have any problems I will update my review.

Arrived on time and undamaged. Used this iron for basic tasks such as soldering stranded wire to component lugs for electronics projects, and connecting a pigtail to a vehicle harness after squirrels chewed through the factory harness. The iron performed well. It heats quickly (less than 1 min). Increasing the temp by several degrees yielded enough heat to flow solder into the larger gauge conductors in the vehicle harness. I'd been looking at soldering stations and decided on this b/c its compact and cost effective. I haven't used it for very long (probably just an hour of working time over several weeks), but I'm pleased so far.

I especially like the fact that the iron is ready to use barely seconds after I'm ready to start soldering. I like having the temperature display. It's fun watching the temperature change to come up to or down to whatever you've set it to. Not to mention that if you forget to turn it off, it will go to "sleep", but wake up as soon as the iron detects movement.I've had two disappointments. The first is that my iron stopped heating up today. The second is that when I called the phone number provided on the web site, I got a recording that told me the phone number had not yet been assigned to a customer. So I went through Amazon's automated on-line system instead. When I asked for warranty service, it told me that's handled directly by Amazon, would I like someone to call me? I answered yes, and entered my land line #. The phone rang before I could get to it. I described my problem, and was given a choice of a refund or replacement. Since I've been satisfied with the iron, I chose the latter, and was told someone would come by my home tomorrow to exchange the iron for a brand new one. I don't know what time of day that'll happen, but if it doesn't you'll hear about it.

My main goal was to find a soldering iron with finer tips than the Weller iron that I already own. This unit came with several fine tips so the adjustable temp and accessories were just icing for me. It heats up very quickly, maybe quicker than the weller unit. I like that this has a heavy duty grounded cable while the weller on has a thin ac/dc adapter. Only time will tell if the iron holds up but so far I’m very happy with the product for the price.

Worked as expected.

Love having different tips for jewelry making.

Its a great soldering iron, and the extras it comes with are welcom additions.The cord is a bit too short (its only 3 feet), and you should never use a sponge to clean your tips, always use copper mesh.I do wish they had opted to not include the stand and made the cord a foot longer, but its okay, the iron itslef is pretty high quality

My only previous experience with soldering was with one of those $5 super crappy, non-temperature-controlled irons that takes several minutes to heat up, so this was a nice upgrade from that. Or at least it was a nice upgrade until it randomly stopped working after only ~two months.GOOD:- Temperature adjustable- Heats up quickly (5-10 seconds to 350 degrees Fahrenheit)- Good for beginners because it has several helpful accessories that a newb probably does not have (tweezers, different tips, solder sucker)BAD:- The blue hand grip always slides up the handle while using it, so you must regularly slide it back into place.- The cord is heavy, so it can pull on the iron while it is on the stand. You have to be careful to make sure it does not tip over.- The solder sucker has clogged up on me two of the three times I have used it.UGLY:- After ~two months of usage, it stopped working. I used it last night, and when I took it out this afternoon, it simply would not turn on. The screen will not turn on, and the iron will not heat up.
