TENMA21-147 Temperature Controlled Soldering Station

High temp.

Simple but well made and tempature control works well and it can be set up for right or left handed users. I've used it to solder a lot lately and it did well soldering a board with little room to work with. Can be used for some fairly accurate soldering. Well built and would defiantly recommend over the xtronic for the simple reason of shipping. I received this one just days after where as the xtronic I canceled after waiting a month and several delays to never receive or even ship for that matter.

My second one after first one died after 15-yrs? or so...Recommend buying extra tips or specific tips for specific jobs. Also recommend buying:* Thermaltronics TMT-TC-2 Lead Free Tip Tinner (20g) in 0.8oz Container* Flux / Solder as required for your project* Hakko 599B-02 Solder Tip Cleaning Wire and Holder* Pro'sKit 900-015 Helping Hands Soldering Aid* Solder Sucker; SODIAL(R) Blue Sucking Vacuum Desoldering Pump Solder Sucker Remover Tool* Desoldering Wick; Aven 17542 2.5mm Width, 5' Length

This is the second one in 30 years. I use it 5 days a week repairing electronics. I highly recommend this solder station from anybody that does a lot of soldering like I do.

Great iron, reliable I used my last one for 5 years every day of the week for small electronics workits a work horse

This soldering station is the BEST!. The iron heats quickly and the solder flow is very smooth and even. Well worth the price!

Works well. Worth the price.

Have used this with work and is great.
