Preciva 60W Professional Digital Solder Workstation, LCD Display, 90-480℃ Adjustable Temperature, 5 Tips, Solder Wire, Frame, Sponge, Suction Device

I bought this product as I wanted to upgrade from a naff soldering iron I had bought for £5 (on that directly plugs into mains, has a basic metal for for a stand, and is a recipe for burning your house down). As a hobbyist, I didn't want to spend top dollar for an expensive soldering iron station. This seemed to do the job well, had temperature control, and a decent stand to hold the soldering iron. Pros: - Comes with tip cleaner (small pot of brass tip cleaner), a small sponge to wipe excessive solder, 5 additional tips, a solder sucker, temperature control (+ switch to choose degrees C/F), and easy on/off switch. - The product is very easy to setup. - There is a roll of solder. The label reads: lead free solder wire (Sn 99.3%, Cu 0.7%), Diameter 0.8mm, Melting point: 227 C. - The cable from the stand to the soldering iron is strong enough to not easily break, but flexible enough to actually use without dragging the base with it or coiling back up. Cons: - The last 1-2mm of the fine ironing tip doesn't seem to heat up to the temperature reading, but after those initial few mm, the solder melts fine. - The base is rather light. I was expecting it to be a bit more weighty to lower the center of mass of the product and prevent a hot iron from falling over (fortunately this hasn't happened). - There is a solder roll holder, which is a bit flimsy. This doesn't bother me personally as I don't use it, but it is worth mentioning. I am really pleased so far with this product. It is definitely worth the upgrade from a basic disastrous soldering iron (my previous iron described above). I have not run into any major issues, and I would recommend this to others.

I bought this soldering station to do some small repairs on electronic and electric circuits and I was gladly surprised with it. It took a fe seconds to achieve 400 ºC and the temperature control was not only well build but also really accurate and it feels really sturdy. The construction of the body itself is really good, I was able to solder in a 90 degrees angle without feeling a bit of the heat coming up on the handle; which is much appreciated when you have to spend time on a circuit. The station itself it’s also well build, not too big but with everything in place, the rest base is strong and allows me to rest the solder with no concerns of accidents and it leave no rooms for mistakes, the cleaner wool it’s not the best I’m the world but it certainly does it’s job and it’s appreciated to have in reach and glued to the base and the cord it’s sturdy but super flexible, allowing me to work with cero hassles. I would totally recommend it, worth it every penny. P.S. surprisingly the soldering wire that comes with it is a good quality flux one.

First of all, this works fine. It comes with five nice tips, and a solder sucker, which I didn’t realise when I ordered it. The little roller attachment for solder seems a bit wimpy, but I haven’t had it pop loose yet, so I suppose it works well enough. It heats up quickly, and I appreciate the readout to show you the temp it thinks the iron is at as it is heating. Also, if you wish, it allows you to select Celsius or Fahrenheit for the temperature display. The main issue that I really don’t think the temperature reading is accurate. I think it shows a higher temp than the iron is actually generating. For my type of work, this is not critical, as I can just adjust the temp upwards until I can do the work I want, but it you really need accurate temperature control for some reason, you might want to look to go to a higher-end model. For a hobbyist like me, though, this is fine and a good value.

I like to use a soldering irons to work with things ranging from computer parts or stuff like speakers. I used this soldering iron to fix a set of speakers of mine that had some loose resistors inside. These worked brilliantly. The added soldering tips had been very helpful as it helped me go fine when I needed precision. The solder reel helped keep control of the solder, pulling more when I need it. The temperature control was brilliant if stuff was getting to hot, I would bring the temperature down to take better control of the solder. Overall, this item is brilliant for someone who wants to get into working on items such as computer components etc. It's not too expensive that it will break the bank. It's a sophisticated machine with a small price tag.

I bought this iron as I do a lot of circuit boards for the various project that I like doing. I certainly like the idea of the solder being on a reel as it did make life quite easy to solder, so you just get the right amount of solder on the circuit board as in my pic. I also like the idea of the reel being attached at the side of the unit. The only downside to the reel is there is nothing on top to stop it coming off if you pull the solder quick. When soldering it leaves a nice tidy job so no mess. There are various tips you can use depends on what you are doing. I also like the various temperatures you can set it at and is very quick to heat up. I also like the idea of the solder holder being attached to the unit so you don't burn your table as I have done many time in the past. All in all, it is an excellent soldering iron station I will give it 9 out of ten that was nothing to hold the reel at the top

Have been making do with a draper iron which really wasn't suitable for the jobs I was doing and although it was adjustable, didn't have a readout so was difficult to set. After a lot of blown components and poor solder finish I decided to look for something else. I wasn't sure about this one given that similar solder stations cost a lot more. But given the reviews I decided to try it. Well, I've been using it a lot lately and actually it has improved my soldering. I like the temperature display and it heats up so fast it's ready in less than a minute. My last one took at least 5 minutes. For me it's perfect for my needs as a hobbyist, but not sure how well it would do in the hands of a tradesmen in daily use. Very impressed for the price

I got this to replace my current solder station which was unreliable and actually required DIY repairs on more than one occasion. I was a little worried when it first arrived as its a Yihua unit which is the same make of the station I am replacing it with! However I did not need to worry as this unit is much better made and so far has worked just fine. The temperature control dial seems to range correctly and it holds a constant temperature which my older unit did not! It also comes with a roll of decent quality solder, a solder sucker and spare tips all contained in a nice box. Overall it has done the job I asked of it and done it well even with my less than optimal shaky hands!

I've been using this for around 5 months now and it's been really good on a wide range of projects. It's a fairly generic kit and comes with 5 tips, a spool of average solder, a tin of brass shavings to clean the tip with, and, a screw on solder reel holder. You have an LED readout of the temperature which you can set to C / F, a dial to set it with, and an on-off switch. The temperature is easy enough to manage and seems accurate as far as I could test it. So if you're having trouble deciding between a few then go for this one!
