    I used the blade for Stain Glass soldering, I am pleasantly surprised how well in took off and added solder. Great for the price.

    I've seen people use the knife tip to cleanly cut nylon straps/cords to prevent fraying.

    Knife is for drag soldering of IC chips...and some smd components.
    Actually, anything that you need a blade tip...plus it puts more heat on a board etc.
    Utility tip.

    One important note is that the wire of the iron is important. It should bend easily and not try to go back to its packaged shape, therefore the wire won't try to move the iron when you put it to rest. That's usually the primary difference between good and cheap soldering iron. In general all irons are gonna solder.

    I liked your review.
    I got mine just now.. from eBay. Same unit exactly except the stand was a stamped metal piece that you fold outwards the what the iron rests upon.. even worse than yours..
    Anyway you may not be aware that the iron has a calibration feature where you can press both plus and minus simultaneously and this allows you to use those buttons to lift or lower the displayed temperature depending on what you measured the solder at separately..
    Also by pressing plus and minus as you turn on its power it enters setup where C or F is selected.
    Also it can remember the Temperature you last used it at or I think a default temp when first switched bon
    A great little unit
    The tip however is a loose fit over the heater core and this might make it difficult for the iron to maintain heat especially on bigger ground planes.
    I'm excited to use mine butw I'm fully aware of it's less desirable qualities.
    Excellent value.
    Got mine on eBay.
    17usd

      Have you figured out a way to turn the darn thing off without unplugging it? The page on Amazon says to hold the red + button, but that only increases the temp.

    I have this soldering Iron. I solders fine. The problem I have is the heat control buttons too close to my hand when soldering and I depress the button to lower the heat.

    Reflective metal is known to throw off laser temp sensors, I don't know the deep reason why, but it's mostly due to the reflective nature.

    Do you think you should still spend more for better soldering iron(or a soldering station) than getting this?

    • @engineeringgarage2993
      @engineeringgarage2993  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It depends on your use case. For what you get at that price it makes a good iron for people starting out, intermittent use or a good small iron for your field repair tool kit. As a daily driver, I would step up to a soldering station.

    not a decent trick but if ur lazy that knife tip is really good at cutting plastic XD.
    Also using that thermal gun with any shiny surface is probably the worse idea, use those device w/ thermistor i think it was, it directly touches the surface so you get accurate reading.

      as you se is not :/ i dont think any of this cheap soldering irons have silicon cord :/ or even something soft like from vacuum cleaner
