926 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

I've been using this for more than a month now, and it's quite handy. The tip heats up SUPER FAST. Like within 15-20 seconds it's at full temperature. No issues at all. The holding clamps are sturdy enough for small electronic components, hobby motors, etc. This is a great little station for lightweight use and/or hobbyist applications.

Works! I used what came in this kit and followed a tutorial on youtube to desolder a connection point and then resoldered back on a switch that fell off of the ignition chip of my electric chainsaw when I overheated it. It worked, and my electric chainsaw is back up and running again! Worth the attempt in my opinion! It was a little nerve wracking and my solders look really bad because I have no skill what-so-ever at using the soldering iron yet - but I repaired a $109 electric chainsaw for about 1/3 of that price in tools. I was also not aware that I was going to need to remove the leftover solder from the connection point before soldering the piece back on - so that fact that the little suction tool that I needed to do that was already in the kit was pretty cool! Great little kit that functions well, I recommend it. Id say if anything was missing - I did need some glue for the components that I was reattaching that was not in this kit I just used some superglue that I already had on hand. Also, I used some rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip to clean the components. (Just things to be aware that you might need!) I'm also going to use this little kit to solder some replacement zippers onto an old backpack. All-in-all, its been a great buy!

For being very inexperienced with using soldering irons, this is a nice introduction and a pretty simple tool to use. Like others have stated, it heats up very quickly although I’m not sure if the temperature is actually accurate. The accessories that it comes with are very nice, the hands hold pieces very well, and the extra tips are super nice to have on hand as well as the extra spaces for them in the holder. I only have 3 complaints so far but they’re all relatively small so that’s why I only deducted one star. First, the handle heats up a lot farther than I was expecting, as half the handle was very hot and could make it uncomfortable at times to handle without gloves. Second, the temperature it suggests to melt at in the instructions is way lower than the actual melting temp, the solder melts around 700 instead of the 370 they say. Lastly, I have no clue how to get the knob to stay on, it just slides right off and it doesn’t bother me too much but when using the iron for long periods of time the metal knob also heats up and can become uncomfortable to touch. I can’t say much for durability as I’ve only used it for about an hour, but if I have problems I’ll update the review.

Well crafted product for the price range. Ability to regulate temperatures and maintain at that setting is a big benefit. The "helper arms" are a huge plus when dealing with small circuit boards - just enough stiffness to allow de-soldering and re-soldering efforts without the arms folding away. The five extra tips provide a wide range of versatility. The provided solder is the very thin type required for circuit boards. Surprisingly, there is no temperature rating indicated on the solder spool. If this is your first attempt at soldering you may find the instructions rather vague. Some de-soldering copper braid and a de-soldering pump are also handy items to have on hand.

I’m blown away. I needed this for a Game boy Color project I have been wanting to work on that called for soldering one wire. I had never soldered before so I ordered a cheap kit off here that barely even heated up. I decided to put it away and try something nicer because something definitely felt off, despite never soldering before. This thing came the same day I ordered it, came packed with a whole bunch of nice little extras - several tips, a roll of soldering wire, a pair of tweezers and has built in “helping hands” which will definitely come in handy for a future project. The temperature control is fantastic, it heats up nice and quick and has a nifty little roll for your spool of soldering wire on the side and a nice little spot to place a wet sponge for cleaning the tip. Everything feels like good quality materials and it’s super easy to set up! I would say this is perfect for anyone looking to do some soldering no matter what their skill level is and doesn’t wanna spend a whole lot of money but still needs something reliable. I love how everything just fits together and nothing feels cheap, I love this thing!

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.

Om first use itself, poor build quality is evident in all aspects. LED display never tells correct temperature. Knob is fiddly. Helping hands are useless. The holder for solder wire wobbles. NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS GOOD! I was misled by reviews. Takes forever to reach soldering temperature. Is short, GARBAGE. I have borrowed a friends soldering iron that cost him one tenth. On top of that, Why is Amazon selling 120 Volts products in India WITHOUT declaring this upfront!!! This means shelling out THOUSANDS for a good voltage converter on top of this garbage product. WHY???

Chinese Crap! Waste of money!!
