QUICKO T12 Soldering Iron Station OLED Display Temperature Controller Electronic Welding Iron Tips Handle Aluminum Alloy Case Power Equipments 110V T12-K Sting (SET1)

Bought this to replace my very old iron with no temp control. This thing just works right out of the box. All I had to do was dial in my temp, wait a few seconds, and I was ready to work! Plus the auto sleep feature is very handy to have coming from someone who has accidently brushed up against a hot iron one too many times! Easily the best iron I could find in this price range. There may be others but this one works so well I see no reason to use anything else until the projects I work on call for it.

Easily the best soldering tool that I have ever used. Pen isn’t fat and it grips well. Cable is soft and no kink flexible. It comes with the ideal tip. Sleep mode kicks in a little soon for my taste but it does save the tip for longer. Screw tabs would be nice to fasten the unit to the wall or under the table but I am not complaining. That is what duct tape is for.

Heat up and cool down so quickly.

This station is an excellent value, and if it's not clear this is the version with the integrated power supply which is great. The tip it comes with is c**p, which is to be expected. Get yourself some actual tips and you got a great set up!

Station works great, heat is transfered well with the k-tip to the connections, but main issues that prevents me from giving 5 stars are as follows: 1. If you tighten the tip to the soldering handle with the nuts and bolts too tight, the device no longer detects the tip. This looks like it's caused by a cheap handle that makes a poor connection to the tip when the nut is too tight, which is weird. You could always buy a different one to replace the stock with or keep the nut looser. 2.Does not come with a stand (for the price it should, but description does not include it, nor does the box, so this is not on the seller) 3. The temperature seems to go by steps of 10C. So controlling the temperature down to 1C is not possible. Either 250C or 260C, but not 251C or 257C. There might be something in the setting to change this but I haven't found anything. In my case it's not important, but keep that in mind. 4. Stock tip shape might not be the most versatile (K-tips). Most are minor issues, and the station works very well compared to most other cheap ones I've used. I'm happy with the purchase, although I expected a bit better for the price.

I bought this iron to replace my big pistol grip Weller, and a smaller 40w pencil iron. It heats up fast and is easy use. The tip that it came with was ok, but it was struggling a bit on some 12gauge wire for an esc connection. I had already ordered a hakko tip for it after reading a review elsewhere that the tips aren't great. With the new tip it soldered 12gauge wire easily and quickly. The lackluster tip is the only reason this is 4 star instead of 5. Great value soldering iron
