Soldering Iron Kit, Preciva 927IV Solder Station with Magnifiers and 2 Helping Hands, 130W Dual LCD Digital Display, 90-480℃ Temp Adjustable with 5 Tips, Sleep Function and Thermostat Control

Originally purchased the Draper soldering iron station to swap the pickups on my bass however the temperature wasn't high enough to melt the original solder and the tip was poor quality out of the pack, no amount of cleaning or sanding was allowing me to tin it!Figured I would try this one for slightly more (£25 vs £40) as it included the 3rd arms as well. Worked a treat and 20 minutes later the old pickups had been removed and the new ones attached.The temperature dial is useful although I couldn't comment on the accuracy. You turn the dial to set the target temperature and then you can easily see once it's warmed up. Spare tips are handy although they don't sit snugly in the stand. Attachable solder wheel was useful as well.Not sure how it would stand the test of time (it does feel cheap, but it is cheap!) but for someone who only does the ad hoc occasional soldering this is perfect. Easy to use, well designed and appropriately priced.The only improvement I would like on these cheap stations is some way to weigh or bolt them down included. They are lightweight plastic which moves very easily.I didn't use any of the included solder, wick or cleaner so couldn't comment on the quality of that.

This is an excellent soldering station, well designed and certainly worth the money. I solder PCB’s every day and this is one of the best I’ve used.

This works well and heats up fast,i had no problem removing a capacitor from a pcb.i think if youd like to get into electronic projects this is a good buy.all the accesories that come with this like solder and solder wick and solder sucker make this value for money.you can easily spend more than this on a soldering iron so its a good place to start,then as you get better you can decide what you really need to spend to advance your skills.its not perfect but the amount of bits you get with it an inexpensive buy.hope it lasts a while

I was a bit concerned about some of the reviews. But I've been using this on a regular basis for about 3 months. No problems whatsoever.

This is a good piece of kit. It is complete, with everything required to perform soldering - the station itself, solder wick and a de-soldering pump, sponge and brass tip cleaner, and a roll of fine solder which should last a good length of time. There are also 'helping hands' to hold workpieces in place, which may be assembled to the station if required. Assemmbly is straightforward, and the build quality and finish are both fine. The temperature display and adjustment are useful features, it heats up in double quick time and it is a vast improvement over the twenty-to thirty-year-old instruments I had been using previously. Recommended.

I got this soldering station to put together a build it yourself 8-bit computer. There was a huge amount of soldering to do (20+ ICs and 80 or so other components) and this never had a single issue. Setting the temperature to 340° worked perfectly with my leaded solder. The accessories that come with it are OK, didn’t use the solder but the tips all seem good. The solder stand is functional and the other bits nice to have.

This is a good unit all you need to solder. The separate tips give a good choice of tips.The only thing is that this is not enough for a lot of use in one go. Also the clips are difficult to set up.you cannot twist the clips so they line up.

Good product at an excellent price.
