YIHUA 926 III 60W LED Display Soldering Iron Station Kit w 2 Helping Hands, 6 Extra Iron Tips, Roll of Lead-Free Solder, Solder Sucker, S/S Tweezers, °C/ºF Conversion, Auto Sleep & Calibration Support

I've been using this for more than a month now, and it's quite handy. The tip heats up SUPER FAST. Like within 15-20 seconds it's at full temperature. No issues at all. The holding clamps are sturdy enough for small electronic components, hobby motors, etc. This is a great little station for lightweight use and/or hobbyist applications.

Works! I used what came in this kit and followed a tutorial on youtube to desolder a connection point and then resoldered back on a switch that fell off of the ignition chip of my electric chainsaw when I overheated it. It worked, and my electric chainsaw is back up and running again! Worth the attempt in my opinion! It was a little nerve wracking and my solders look really bad because I have no skill what-so-ever at using the soldering iron yet - but I repaired a $109 electric chainsaw for about 1/3 of that price in tools. I was also not aware that I was going to need to remove the leftover solder from the connection point before soldering the piece back on - so that fact that the little suction tool that I needed to do that was already in the kit was pretty cool! Great little kit that functions well, I recommend it. Id say if anything was missing - I did need some glue for the components that I was reattaching that was not in this kit I just used some superglue that I already had on hand. Also, I used some rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip to clean the components. (Just things to be aware that you might need!) I'm also going to use this little kit to solder some replacement zippers onto an old backpack. All-in-all, its been a great buy!

I bought this soldering iron to replace a cheap-o one I had bought from a hardware store some years back. I wanted a proper soldering station with adjustable controls, and when I saw this one by YIHUA, I figured it was worth a try. It was even available for same-day delivery, so I figured I may as well try it out! When I got it, I was pleasantly surprised at the extras supplied. It comes with, i think, 5 extra tips, a roll of solder (It doesn't classify the material or flux, if any), the soldering station, and some tweezers. Real nice additions. When you pick it up, you'll immediately realize it's sort of... cheap. When you go to swap out the tips, you'll this sort of ceramic heating element. I'm not sure if that's a standard in soldering irons but it didn't feel like a premium product. Once I started it up, though, it was great. It heats up in about 10 seconds. 60W is a great upgrade when you've been working with 10-30W. Great for plastic welding and soldering, and it isn't that big of a deal when you break it. I don't think I'd buy one again if it failed, I'd just go ahead and shell out the cash for a Weller soldering station. For a beginner, tinkerer, or even for your teenager (under supervision, i suppose) this is a great station to get started with. I've had it for (around) a month, have been using it on a daily basis anywhere between 5-20 minutes at a time, and it's been great so far. If anything fails in the future I'll update the review but for the time being, I'm happy with it.

Excellent value! I’m coming from a generic pencil soldering iron and a big trigger pull iron and I mainly work on guitars and tube amps. This new one is so much better and really heats up fast and holds temp. Great for occasional use, but is plastic and at this price, it is obviously not designed for a serious pro or daily shop use. Note, some complain about the helping arms not staying in place but make sure to use the supplied nuts that come with it on each arm, and tighten those to the side, not tighten just the arms to the side. (Watch the video!) Pros: Heats up quickly. Easy to read temp display. Holds temperature. Place to hold a roll of solder Helping arms are great and easy to move, has plastic removable ends Small and does not take much room, self-contained, looks good Multiple tips supplied, a place to store all, and all actually work well Supplied solder works well, love the roller Arms can be removed Long cord on the soldering iron making it easy to keep the cord out of the way. Cons: Power cord to the unit is way too short. At least have it long enough it will reach the floor from a standard height table. Could have used a small movable led light, maybe as an extra arm. Heating at the tip is sometimes lacking. I’ve measured the area about the tip to temp, but at the tip it can be significantly less. Overall, I'm crazy OCD doing research and this is the one I landed on after hours of looking around. I've not found a better one with all the accessories in any brick and mortar store nor one at this price online that gets these reviews.

I like to replace my electronics in my guitars. I have used various name brand soldering irons and I would end up with overheating and/or burnt parts from doing it with the heat. In my defense, I never claimed to be good this DIY stuff but I would do it anyway. The station was delivered as promised and I had to use it as soon as I received the package. This was hands down the best soldering job I ever did. No burn marks on the pots and the switch! The pickups work well so far so good! The heat from the iron was consistent and it would go to sleep if I was working on something else at the moment. I also like the time it took to heat! The one thing that I didn’t like are the 2 arms that attach to the sides. If I didn’t have them positioned just right, the unit would lean a bit. That’s just me and it is not a dealbreaker by any means. I still used them to hold the pieces together while soldering. The best part about the station was that it did not break the bank. Solid unit and the price point was reasonable.

Om first use itself, poor build quality is evident in all aspects. LED display never tells correct temperature. Knob is fiddly. Helping hands are useless. The holder for solder wire wobbles. NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS GOOD! I was misled by reviews. Takes forever to reach soldering temperature. Is short, GARBAGE. I have borrowed a friends soldering iron that cost him one tenth. On top of that, Why is Amazon selling 120 Volts products in India WITHOUT declaring this upfront!!! This means shelling out THOUSANDS for a good voltage converter on top of this garbage product. WHY???

Chinese Crap! Waste of money!!
