Soldering Iron Kit, Soldering Gun with OLED Digital Display, 8 Seconds Fast Heating 356-896℉ Solder Kit, Auto Sleep, Includes Solder Wire, Stand, T12 Tips for Electronics, Green(With Power Adapter)

I loved the iron but I had a problem with it the 2nd time i used it and the troubleshooting steps they recommended didn't help.

This is a nice compact soldering iron. It works as promised. I would just keep the jobs small. It's fast heating, and there is a sleep feature for safety, which is great. The price is fitting for the tool.

So far so good - nice complete kit, minus a carrying case. Iron works ok but could use small improvements

This soldering iron kit is valuable because it allows me to create permanent, reliable electrical connections by melting solder to join metal components together, making it a crucial tool for repairing or building electronics, from simple projects to complex circuits. I'm able to fix small appliances, modify existing devices, and even build my own electronics projects at home. This kit provided the ability to make repairs and modifications yourself instead of relying solely on professionals.

yes i love this thing wish i bought sooner

Nice compact set for light weight soldering jobs..I like that it's not rechargeable. It runs directly off of 5V USB power adapters. What's unique is that the power of the iron is determined by the power rating of the power adapter that you use. There's a chart provided to determine how much power is needed from the adapter for a given wattage of the iron..I keep it in my backpack for those random, unexpected needs.

I've been waiting for a USB-C powered soldering iron which uses standard tips for a while. As far as I can tell, this uses normal T12/T15-type tips, like those from Hakko and other manufacturers. I have some on backorder, and will update my review once they have arrived. Included are a conical tip and knife tip.Testing versus my Hakko 888D and a tip thermometer, this was within 5C of the Hakko when set to the same temperature. It did a pretty good job with larger components, too, as expected for the heater-in-tip design.Operation is very simple. Plug it in, and hold the power button to turn it on. It takes hardly any time to heat up. The screen shows the current and set temperature, and a small bar graph to show instantaneous heater power. Temperature is adjusted with the up and down buttons, with no presets. There is a menu, but the only options are to change between F and C, adjust the temperature offset, change the sleep timer, or switch language. The iron has a motion sensor inside, and automatically falls back to 100C after the preset time, quickly returning to the set temperature when the iron is picked back up.Where the unit struggles is in ergonomics. The rubber grip is larger in diameter than I'd really prefer, and there's no real guard to keep your fingers from slipping down onto the hot iron. Even the tip retention collar can get pretty hot. Distance between the grip and tip is very short, though, so it isn't all bad.The iron also does look somewhat like a toy, with its transparent plastics. I don't think it looks all that bad, though, and it generally feels sturdy.None of the accessories are really not all that good. The USB-C cable is pretty stiff, and I'd recommend getting something much more flexible with a proper silicone jacket. A 45W USB-C power supply is packed in, but carries no UL/ETL/TUV/CSA listing, so I wouldn't really be comfortable using it. The stand is one of those hopeless metal ones you have to bend upright. Finally, there's a roll of very 0.6mm solder, but no information on composition.I tried with a handful of USB-C supplies and an inline power meter, and found it draws just over 45W at peak. It needs a supply capable of 20V (and 2.25A) to do this. I will run on 9V, 12V, and 15V PDOs as well, but at reduced power. It can also request up to 20V (depending on the charger) using QC2.0 or VOOC. It will run at 5V, but at only 3W, it really struggles to heat up. When connected to a computer, no USB devices appear.So overall, I won't say that this will replace a 'proper' soldering iron, but it works great as a portable unit. I like the simplicity, and the ability to use standard T12/T15 tips. While it does look a bit like a toy, it still feels reasonably solid in the hand. It's not bad for the price, but if you can get it cheaper without the useless accessories, I'd go that way.And now, for a chart of what wattage this iron can achieve, given the input voltage and sufficient current. These are from my testing, but also make sense calculated using Ohm's law, as the heating element is 8 ohms.20V - Up to 45W, if 2.25A is available15V - Up to 26.25W12V - Up to 17W10V - Up to 11.6W9V - Up to 9.35W5V - Up to 3W

This little soldering iron has three big advantages. The first is weight. I weighs on my scale, 1.4 ozs. or next to nothing. The second is the speed in heating. The time from turning it on to 380°C is 18 seconds. The third is the auto off and on. It senses when you are holding it and when it is in the fixed holder and turns itself on and off accordingly. Leave it in the stand or holder for a minute or so and it turns off. It turns back on immediately as you pick it up. Reheating is just a few seconds, so I never had to wait over a very few seconds.It comes with its own power brick and a USB C cable. The brick is about twice the size of the usual USB A brick. It is also much higher amps and voltage, going up to 2.2 amps and 20 volts. You cannot substitute a low power brick, like a phone charger. It won't provide the power to heat the tip.It comes with two tips, a wedge and a cone. The heating element are incorporated into the tips and the whole assembly is about as long as a Bic pen, but with less diameter. It requires T series tips.My dislikes are the cheesy little holder made of thin stamped metal with almost no weight. Don't use it, it isn't safe as it will barely stay upright with the soldering iron in it. The second dislike is the case. It is cardboard with a foam insert and will hold only the iron, no room for solder, a sponge or even the charging brick and cable.Still, I find it easy to set up and use. The ultra-light weight is great, and the quick heating makes it so easy to use. The solder included is not rosin core so you will need to order some flux if you don't have any. Also, buy a good solid stand with a good, heavy weighted base.
