- In this, rather lengthy, video I take a look at a soldering iron that makes some bold claims. This entire kit only cost me $23. If the claims that this iron makes are true It should be able to almost match the performance of a Hakko FX-888D or a TS100.
Soldering kit in this video: www.amazon.com...
90W version of this iron: www.amazon.com...
unfortunately I can't seem to find just the 60 watt iron by itself anymore

Thank You for a review and test instead of useless rave presentation like hundrets others on YT
It's hard to hate someone this good for such a silly cheap price.... I've got two of them, I keep one permanently in the car tool kit 👍
90W version uses four-pin heating element. It is different from this version. I think the reason for calibration off could be the 110V heating element has a lower resistance, and the factory may not change its firmware. The tip certainly makes big difference, I have not find a knock-off tip that works as well as Hakko yet.
Interesting, I might have to pick up one of the 90W ones to do some testing on it.
These little $10 Irons are incredible value, I've had one for 4yrs now.
I accidentally left out on for 2 weeks once 2 yrs ago and it still works perfectly 😲👍
I replaced the power lead with a switched lamp cable after that ! LoL
The calibration issue may have a different explanation. While Hakko has a 4-pin element with temp. sensing, the knock-offs have only 2-pins, with resistance sensing to "estimate" temp. It estimates temp. of the bit as & when it is soldering, not when it is lying idle. The idle temp. of the bit will be 50 -100 degree higher. So, if calibrated to proper temp. when it is idle, the temp. will be 50 -100 degree lower when actual soldering begins, so won't be able to solder properly + the bit being of a much lower quality copper will further compound this problem. But, soldering performance-wise with zero calibration, it is almost as good as Hakko. At 1/4th the price.
for the love of god, if you are beginner get butane soldering iron because it's kind of foolproof since it's imposible to not be hot. sometimes beginner think they sucks and talentless just because they dont realize the main problem is the soldering iron is not hot enough. there's no guarantee the indicator are correct but red hot glow are def' hot in butane soldering iron.
To keep matters simpler, I think you should stick to one temperature scale, rather than skip between Celcius and Fahrenheit in your narrative. Otherwise, a thoughtful and interesting video!
I got an 80w version of the same thing on ebay. I was surprised to see it has the same element style as the hakko and not the cheaper one you reviewed! IT DOES come with a 3 prong grounded power wire also. Thanks for your review! Great for little stuff I do. Mouse switch replacement and the like.
Do you have a link to that particular model?
I ordered a couple of similar irons (110V, 80W, push button LCD) for $10 and there are both 110V, 60W and 80W heaters (2 wire plug-in style) for them (ordered 1 each heaters). So there are some things to try to get the temp into the range. It might be interesting to power one with a variac to see if voltage would correct the temperature to use a 0 degree offset and the readout actually match the tip temp.
Yes. The 80W / 90W ones are better, esp. the ones with 3-pin socket & 4-pin element, but if the temp. controller circuit conks out, it's not replaceable. I learnt it the hard way. In a sense, 60W is simple & economic, though less classy. Also note:::the heating element is PTC, i.e. ohms will increase as it heats up, so while a 60W iron will consume 60W at the start, it will consume only 36W - 40W at full heat, so will perform like a 35W or 40W iron.
Is it still working?
Could prolly find a spring washer to hold those extra tips in
Can you put the Temperature up by 50 degrees on the LCD Display reading as it appears to be 50 degrees behind in that reading. I guess one could simply compensate themselves by swetting to 350 when they want 400 degrees etc.
Can you update the amazon links please!
is that 3d printer noise at the background
😂
Well since in the beginning of the video he said "sorry about the 3d printer sound in the background" I would assume that's what it is.
SH72 is super cheap (12$), good temperature controlled (analog) mini soldering iron that does the job.
Oh, I've just bought a 80W 906S- a cheap soldering w/ only (-) and (+) buttons. However, it seem better than ur cheap one. Ur is better in the LED screen
I also bought an 80W iron with only 2 buttons (+ and -) for only 8 euro directly from the Chinese (aliexpress.com) and a month of waiting.
Mine does have the metal tube support for the tip like the Hakko.
Unfortunately, I don't have the thermocouple measure to check the tip temperature accurately.

Can the Hakko tips fit this iron?
Hi… can you give me a link for the tip u used on the Hakko soldering iron
I buy mine from here: www.digikey.com/catalog/en/partgroup/t18-series-soldering-iron-tips/65461?mpart=T18-I&vendor=1691
The model of the tip in this video is the T18-D24
Great video as usual! :D
You must have a real knockoff mine looks same but better power wire and heating element 3 pin plug all tips fit too
older video, im guessing they updated to the 3 prong on most of the models. Mine is 3 prong and better heating element design (like the hakko) like yours.
You should have used 60/40 solder not that lead free crap
Lead free has come a long way from the days when it crystalized and caused joint failure within a few days to years. It doesn't do that anymore from my research. Not to mention, lead free is used in so many applications right now with a similar failure rate to leaded. It's just slightly harder to work with because of the slightly higher melting point.
Cool
