926LED III 60W Digital Display Soldering Iron Station Soldering Iron Kit with 2 Helping Hands, 5 Extra Soldering Iron Tips, Lead-Free Solder Wire, Auto Sleep & Calibration Support (UK Plug)

This soldering kit heats up quickly, the temperature control works well, and the tips hold their heat properly. The quality is normal, but it definitely does the job. I mainly use it to repair my little one’s toys, especially the remotes that often have very light or poor-quality contacts. This soldering iron is perfect for fixing those small issues without any trouble. The included accessories are useful, the stand is stable, and the kit is easy to work with. For the price, it’s a solid choice that does exactly what you expect.

Brilliant! Very pleased with this product. Easy to use, good value for money. 100% recommend.

Ok it works but flimsy

I bought this YIHUA 926LED III 60W Digital Display Soldering Iron Station, when my faithful Weller Soldering Station, started to falter, after many years of faithful service. I am currently retired, and consequently, cannot afford the £120.00, to replace it. Due to its price, this YIHUA Soldering Iron Station caught my eye, but I feared that would mean a lack of quality. In the past, I have been sadly disappointed in items made in China, but this one seems to buck the trend. PROS: Price. Having now used this Soldering Iron Station, I have to admit that it is very well made, and designed. It some good features, like the attached solder reel stand, a clear digital temperature display, plus an indispensable wet-sponge tray, for wiping the tip clean and removing excess solder. It also has two rubber covered crocodile clips, attached to flexible arms, which can be used to securely hold a printed circuit board, or two wires, during soldering. It comes with several different sizes and styles of soldering tips, and a rack to store them in. There is also a plastic tip cover, if you need to carry this in a tool bag. CONS: It does have a U.K. 13A plug fitted, but the mains cable isn't as long as I would have liked, and the cable is quite inflexible. As I have only just received it, I cannot attest to its longevity, but I am currently very pleased with my purchase, which arrived quickly, and at a reasonable price. Therefore, I can recommend both the product nav the Seller.

YIHUA 926LED III. The instructions said on first switch on set the temp to 250C and apply a solder to the iron tip. It would not melt solder at 250C. The solder station needed calibration and was unusable. I first thought that having the station, solder iron stand and third hand in one unit would be very practical but I found it cramped, inflexible and the third hand kept getting in the way. My soldering jobs are mainly joining wires and soldering wires to connectors. This third hand was no good for this because after accurately positioning the flexible arms and then letting go the arms would spring back. The third hand would probable work for small PCBs. The display is small, basic and the light indicating the iron is heating up tiny. I returned the station and am looking for a solder station with separate control unit, iron stand and third hand to give the flexibility I need.

Just received and used for the first time so I can't comment on reliability. However, it is easy to use and does exactly what I had hoped. It reaches the set temperature very quickly and comes with a range of tips. I am a relatively infrequent user (once or twice a month) but if you are a regular user it might be worth looking at other products with more features. I just wish there was a left handed version (with the solder spool on the right)!

Soldering ok

I bought this to replace my Weller TCP bench soldering iron which was 40 years old!. This soldering station is well made being made of solid plastic, There is a good selection of quality tips provided. The soldering iron lead is flexible and does not pull when manipulating the iron and is probably made of heat resistant material. The sleep/standby function is useful. The temperature is well controlled and heats up rapidly. I calibrated the temperature using a thermocouple but it was not far out. The only downside is that the mains lead is not long enough and is heavy duty and stiff but I can live with that. Overall a good quality compact bench soldering iron station for precision electronics work. I have not had it long so I can't vouch for its durability and reliability.
