YIHUA926 III 60W Digital Display Soldering Iron Station Kit w 2 Helping Hands, 6 Extra Iron Tips, Lead-Free Solder, Solder Sucker, S/S Tweezers, °C/ºF Conversion, Auto Sleep & Calibration Support

Nice set. Cost effective. Gets hot fast. Works like a champ.

Excellent value!I’m coming from a generic pencil soldering iron and a big trigger pull iron and I mainly work on guitars and tube amps. This new one is so much better and really heats up fast and holds temp. Great for occasional use, but is plastic and at this price, it is obviously not designed for a serious pro or daily shop use.Note, some complain about the helping arms not staying in place but make sure to use the supplied nuts that come with it on each arm, and tighten those to the side, not tighten just the arms to the side. (Watch the video!)Pros:Heats up quickly. Easy to read temp display.Holds temperature.Place to hold a roll of solderHelping arms are great and easy to move, has plastic removable endsSmall and does not take much room, self-contained, looks goodMultiple tips supplied, a place to store all, and all actually work wellSupplied solder works well, love the rollerArms can be removedLong cord on the soldering iron making it easy to keep the cord out of the way.Cons:Power cord to the unit is way too short. At least have it long enough it will reach the floor from a standard height table.Could have used a small movable led light, maybe as an extra arm.Heating at the tip is sometimes lacking. I’ve measured the area about the tip to temp, but at the tip it can be significantly less.Overall, I'm crazy OCD doing research and this is the one I landed on after hours of looking around. I've not found a better one with all the accessories in any brick and mortar store nor one at this price online that gets these reviews.

This is a decent soldering station. It heats up fast and maintains temperature just fine. I think some of the problems people are running into and something I experienced is the solder that comes with it is not very good. It requires a lot of heat and I found it impossible to solder ground connections to chassis on what I was working on. I switched to some solder I already had and it worked fine and I was able to use a lower heat setting.I think it is a great value for the money but the solder it comes with is not the best quality.

I bought this originally to make one repair on our pressure cooker! It worked exactly as anticipated. Because of the quality and the versatility of the system, I am now considering adding stained glass projects to my upcoming retirement hobbies!

I've used this to repair game consoles and computer parts, it has everything one needs to solder components, especially for a beginner.Pro's:Easy to use.Has variety of tips, two arms, and sponge pad.Quick, accurate temperature control.No problems after 1 year of use on over 30+ solder jobs.Cons:I think the tip quality could be better, be sure to clean tips often after use. (Cheap replacement tips for +-$20)Arm strength could be better. Must angle arms correctly for a steady and strong hold on pcb boards.

works perfectly. hard to clean but then again im new to this. nice value and the station and the holders are really helpful and it solders well

I bought this soldering iron for occasional use on guitar repairs. Since I do not solder daily, this looked like A good choice for light duty. The first time I used it, I set the temperature to 700 degrees, and try to tin the tip. Even though it was set to 700, it would not melt the supplied solder. After about three minutes, I was able to tin the tip, but still not able to transfer enough heat to tin a piece of wire. I held the tip to the wire for over one minute but, it still did not transfer enough heat for the wire to tin. I tried using leaded solder to rule out the possibility that the supplied led free solder was the problem, but got the same results. Since there are so many positive reviews, I am assuming that there is something wrong with this unit. I am going to give it another chance and exchange this one and see if a replacement will heat the tip more accurately, If the replacement works, I will update my review.Update:I just received my replacement two days ago and finally got a chance to test it. The replacement works fine. I'm giving this a 5-star review because I got it for occasional soldering projects. The package comes with everything one would need to get started, and for the amount of use that I will be giving it, it will probably last years. I doubt this device will hold up for more than a year with heavy use. It's very functional but made of cheaper materials.

This soldering station is fantastic - I wish I had this years ago. It is a quality product that heats up quickly to your preset temperature. The high heat, provided lead free solder, and helping hands combine to make precision soldering tasks easy. It's a great value!
