This soldering station is absolutely brilliant. It supports live-swapping of soldering tips! It'll turn the station off you don't move the soldering iron and it gets up to temperature fast. From a cold start, a soldering tip is up to temperature in around 5 seconds, perhaps even less. The station allows you to calibrate the temperature of soldering tips if you need exact temperature precision and it's backed by a backup battery internally. It's also an extremely small unit, so small in fact it can sit in the palm of your hand. Don't let the diminutive size fool you though, it packs a good punch. The T12 tip that comes with it looks to be quite high quality, and it's definitely worth buying some additional soldering iron tips so you have something to suit any soldering scenario. Delivery was pretty fast, and more over, the onboard digital controller is really quite excellent. For the price, I doubt you can get a better iron. Now there are some caveats for this soldering station. Out of the box, it's not completely safe. The soldering station is essentially a power supply and digital control board inside the very nice looking anodyzed chassis. The metal housing isn't wired into ground. This is easily sorted out by using a dremel tool on the screw holes to strip off the anodyzed coating and by soldering a ground wire to the ground pin internally and to the chassis somewhere. I did this procedure and verified using my multimeter that the station is fully grounded and how it's safe and sound. Additionally, the unit is fused. One other thing to look out for is there is a PCB trace internally that runs under a heatsink. If this trace was to ever blow, it could bridge the AC side with the DC side of the board. Trimming the offending heatsink fin sorts this out. And finally, my favourite feature. You can hot-swap iron tips when they're at full temperature! What an absolutely great piece of kit for the money! Easily comparable to the big name brand it is similar to.
