Fantastic iron

Mar 12, 2018

I solder electronics for a living and use a $2000 soldering station daily. How does this $15 portable unit stack up? Great! It heats up fast, and the three settings are well set, with the medium setting good for 90% of RC related tasks. The only downside that I've noticed is somewhat fast oxidation of the tip. Luckily hobbyking's 10 pack of Hakko style tips fit and are only $0.60/tip.

This is the best portable soldering iron I have ever owned. I have been using it for about a year now and have used 3 and 4 cell lipo's as well as my car battery and a 12 volt power supply in my garage. It heats fast and cleans well. I have a professional soldering iron and prefer to use this one most of the time because of it convenience. I have used it on wire all the way from 28 gauge to 10 gauge with out any issues. This is a must have for all tool box's, and at 13 bucks it's affordable enough to have one in every tool box. I now own two of these and keep one in my field box and one in my shop.

great soldering iron that can operate with DC power supply or with your LiPo battery.
Make note that this item DID'T CUTOFF VOLTAGE. Be careful with you battery. i would like to recommend you a buzzer

Subjectively this iron is rather powerful.at the lowest mode it boils rosin instantly. too hot at high mode to solder wires.maybe for soldering something bigger...

it has more than 50w iron at the low mode.subjectively.
