Got to do a little backyard work with this. Noticed it needed two improvements. One was the stiff cord to the iron. The second was a way of cleaning the tip. That said it performed flawlessly. So I upgraded the cord with a much more flexible version, and added a brass cleaning sponge for the tip. I wish Ryobi thought of this but...

Awesome tool. I do not know how long will it last, but it is very nice to have wireless soldering iron during commissioning of different equipment.

So nice to have the freedom of no cord

Used a few times now. Heats up fairly quickly. Convenience or portability. Easy to find extra tips (uses T18 Soldering Tips, same as Hakko FX-888).

This is a very inexpensive way to get a high quality soldering iron for electronic repairs (e.g., connectors, wire splices, broken wires.). It's also very helpful to have a soldering iron without a cord - works out of the box, and where you need to work. I've had it for a week and very quickly tidied up repairs made with twisted wires throughout my summer house - good solder connections mean safety, better charging and improved reliability. Highly recommended.

Garbage. Bought it on June 8, broken by July22. Broken after 3 uses. Would like to get a refund but not an option.

Great deal for 40$ , the cable is a bit stiff but swap it for some 4 core silicone wire and Its👌. 4ah battery lasts forever, and it has easy access to different tips hakka tips are interchangeable. It heats up crazy fast. People say that if you leave them on for long periods, that my be true but I will bet 97% of those all that's wrong is there is a thermal fuse in the iron. You can simply replace it of use a peice of wire im it's place if your not worried about it ! A few YouTube videos of it out there. So if your comfortable with opening it up to replace the stiff pvc cable with some silicone wire its an awesome little tool.

My old portable butane soldering iron finally stopped working. I purchased the Ryobi 18 volt soldering iron and I'm very pleased with its operation. I can dial up the heat range I need and in a minute or two it's ready. It will even warn you when it is cooled down and safe to store it.

This soldering iron has been a godsend for me. I do a lot of soldering on 12v automotive applications and have found this to be a fantastic tool for this kind of work. This iron heats up fast, has decent temperature control, and again is cordless! No more worrying about snagging cords, very little waiting for the iron to heat back up, and if you forget to turn it off, it times out after 20 or so minutes. Perfect for remote work!

Slightly disappointed with no sponge tray but not what I was going to use the soldering iron for anyway. Works exceptionally well as a nylon melter with some hakko blade tips. Clean up and finish frayed nylon and keep it from further fraying without ask much risk of burning the material up with a lighter. The temp control dial is more fine than I was thinking, had assumed it was simply a binary temp control of low and high, but seems pretty good for what I need
