This iron heats up to 350c degrees in just a few seconds.

Would have given 5 stars if it had an actual stable stand to put the hot iron

Needed more heat. This does a great job.

This cheap little iron has big performance! I use it for RC soldering work, and I have 1/8 scale vehicles that require 10ga wire for several hookups. This heats up a 10ga wire like it's nothing. I'm sure there are even better options out there but imo this cannot be beat for the price. Throw away the solder that comes with it if you're planning on doing electrical connections. Use a quality leaded solder, and probably get some extra flux just to be safe. I use cheapo flux from Home D and it works fine for my purposes. Again, I'm sure better options are available but this works for me. I've had this iron for about a week and I've done 6 xt90 plugs with 10ga wire and 2 trucks with 2 xt90's each. Right now I'm hearing this little gem up to do some 6.5mm Castle bullet connectors and I expect it will be a breeze. Temp control works well but the dial seems a bit fragile. Use care when turning it or storing the iron. Dont wrap the power cable around the body of the iron, at best you will lose your setting and you may possibly damage or destroy the dial. That is my only complaint about this iron.*update*I've been using this iron for nearly a year and it is still holding up. I have had a few bonehead moments of leaving it on unattended for fairly long periods but my solder station holds the iron safely away from anything that could be burned or damaged. All that happened is I ruined a couple tips. Luckily replacement tips are readily available, and this iron uses a very common type of tip. That means it is easy to upgrade to a brand-name or other high quality soldering tip in your favorite shape. Doing so has made this iron perform much better even than when it was new for me. It seems like at least once a week I'm using this iron to change out battery connectors on my RC cars as well as the batteries themselves. I've become the go-to guy in ny RC friends circle for soldering. The analog dial leaves a bit to be desired, as it seems to read a higher temp than the iron is really putting out

This is the first solder kit I've ever purchased so I did extensive research on what was need for the repair I needed to perform on a laptop. If your a beginner like me, you cannot rely on the instructions in this kit as so much detail is excluded, such as melting point for solder included in this kit, or the fact that you need to tin the tip before use. There are other important materials that should be included in any soldering kit that were not included, such as flux and solder's wick. The solder iron has a small dial for adjusting the temperature that may require the use of a magnifier to read. I should also mention the stand for the soldering iron is just a thin piece of aluminum that you bend for use.... not the most sturdy support for a hot iron. Good kit for occasional use.

I plugged it in and it works. Really can't expect much more from 10 dollars. Temperature seems to work, but I'm not certain. Used it to remove a battery from an electric toothbrush and it seems to operate just fine. I have two more item to fix over the next month and will update this review if necessary.update - Still works well and temperature is definitely adjustable. I had to increase the temperature to remove the battery form my 7110x razor. This iron is a good deal! I will update this review if the iron fails in the next few months.
