Soldering Station Digital Display with 5 Extra Iron Tips Soldering Iron Station 392℉-896℉ Temperature Adjustable Better Soldering Iron Soldering Kit with Solder Bracket SD2

What an upgrade!!! After years of using the cheapy gun, finally realized there are much better options out there at very affordable price. This soldering gun heats up really quick, like less than 10 seconds to reach 670 degrees, simply amazing at this price range. Build quality is very good, the control is very smooth and accurate. Makes me feel like a pro by simply looking at it sitting on my work bench. The soldering result is much much improved too due to sufficient heat. Came with solder rack and 5 tips are great bonus. This is an epic unit. Highly recommended.

Like the variable controls and the tips but wish it got hotter. Doesn't work for all solder types.

I just received the HANMATEK Digital Display Soldering Iron Station last night and this morning I wanted to test it before re-boxing it and handing it to my wife to wrap for me under the Christmas tree. Note that I purchased the SD-2 model with the digital display. I always like to be specific on these reviews because I've seen reviews on Amazon connected to the wrong item. It came packaged really well and no parts were cracked or broken. The parts are mostly metal and changing the tips is really easy. It also stays in the built in holder just fine, so there is no need for a soldering iron holder. Connect the iron to the station before turning on the unit because the metal prongs are high voltage. I've never had a multi temp station so I didn't know what to expect, and the instruction manual (6 pages) is a little misleading. It says to tin the iron with the temperature set at 200-260℉, but the iron starts at 392℉ and runs to 896℉. I thought it may be defective so I checked Amazon and it's correct, so don't fall into the same instruction manual trap I did. The station temperature is OK. I fired it up and it came up to temperature really fast. Faster then my old Radio Shack direct plug-in iron. I tried setting it up to 600℉, and within 5 seconds it came up to temperature. By the way, nothing beeps or flashes as the manual says either when it hits temperature. They need to change the manual to reflect what is really going on. That's as far as I'm allowed to go before Christmas. I'll update this review when I get to use it, but for now I wanted to give it a good review because it works as advertised, and mention the instruction manual.

I have this this soldering iron around 5 years ago and it was a great product and I needed another one as a second unit. Then I purchased the same iron again and the quality was not so good. The wiring was detaching from the unit. I was very disappointed that the quality was not so good. I would think twice in purchasing this product. I even had a replacement sent too me with the same issues.

I've had this solder station for a couple of years now and it has been a godsend. The tips it came with didn't last a super long time, even with cleaning every couple of solder joints and before and after use. But this station made building guitar pedals and working on electric guitars much easier. I don't have to worry about where I'm setting down a hot iron that plugs directly into the wall or worrying that the cheap metal stand those come with are going to get knocked over. The iron has a home in the station and the cord is long enough that the station stays out of the way. Love this station and will likely use it till it wont work any more.

Feels cheap, works like something much more expensive. Solder holder is a bit weird to me, but it is optional and I will probably just leave it off. Temperature control is sooooo nice, it takes me a few moments to dial it in and then it is golden. Made my dislike for soldering almost completely disappear. Heats up crazy fast, I mean scarry crazy fast, so no more waiting for it to warm up, allowing you to rethink of you really want to do some work or not. By the time you flip the switch and grab your supplies it is ready to go. It takes longer to cool down than to heat up. The assortment of tips is nice, but I have only used two, and the one that comes installed has been fine for almost everything. It kinda hurts to write this review, since it took me forever to just take this out of the saved for later pile and buy it. It is one of my better purchases in a while. The son even gave me heck for waiting, and he loves it as well. Don't buy a cheap wand or gun style iron with one measly setting - on, spend the extra few dollars and buy this cheap station and be so incredibly happy you did.

Perfect station for home garages! Heats up fast and stays hot to do 99% of everyday soldering jobs needed! For the price it’s perfect! Don’t blame the station if you aren’t familiar with soldering because I can let someone use my weller wx station and they still won’t get good results without a little practice. Take care of the tips and make sure you keep them tinned and you’ll be happier with this station
