Is this soldering station only used for electrical soldering? Or can it be used for other minor soldering work as well? I know very little about soldering. This is why I ask.
I don't think there are any...but if you use pure cooper you may be handmade some, probably like a kind of screw with the right metric and eventually form the tip to the right shape...it should work as well as any factory tips. I'll do that soon and let you know
Thanks for video! I had B1 version. It is good station -> for plastic pen / 3d printer shaping 😂 Let me tell you my story.😅 Mine B1 worked 2 days 😅 then tip burned off completely. So I first bought a brass bolt to use as solder tip 😂 worked better than original 😂. But then I found chinese $30 very small station 900m and its better in everything (today can get + heat gun for 50.. lookup “882d 900m") Lidl use nonstandard screw tip - china uses 900m which are very reliable, cheap, common - and can be retinned if burn (with zinc-chloride, aka pipe soldering paste). China 900m heats in 10 seconds to 300C.. flexible cable.. pen is short to tip, much lighter.. all thing much smaller, does not use table space. Only problem I had was not tight contact between heater and tip: easily solved with aluminum foil wrap around heater.. So I would keep this station if you plan to buy 3d printer, for plastic melting its very good.
Nice! Thank you info. I found this station reaches the working temperature slowly but once there it's steady. Good station for the money, I'm using mostly the little TS100, which is faster and easier.
936 is MILES better than this. It uses "900m" tips! My station is 950 btw. Viocaia uses TS100, which uses different tips and is even better than "900m". Btw, all "900m" soldering irons have problem of loose contact between heating stone and tip. This can be solved with few wraps of aluminium foil around the stone (yes, works!), makes them close to Ts100 in maintaining temps during heavy soldering.
I bought this and now Ive used it, but now it wont get warm. Ive turned it on and off, replaced the tip, touched surfaces with the tip, pressed all kinds of button combinations but I cant get it out of standby mode. I cant find any manual of anything online. Anyone have a clue?

Any kind of electrical circuits, wires, connectors, even coating small object which support soldering wire, like cooper pots. It's pretty powerful.
@viocaia thank you very much
im wondering if i can find an adapter to a more standard range of tips - i think its m4 thread right_

Very helpful review. Thank you
Always
Thx 4 review ✌🏼
Always!

Hello..it is compatible with Gordak 936 handle and tips?! Thanks
I can't say...

Probably the heating resistors it's gone...but can be an electronic problem too...it's hard to say...
😂😂😂 funny, your TS100 is million X better than that parkside...
That's absolutely true😂
