    Customer Reviews

    Good, but not great. Lead-free solder is a pain When I got this soldering iron it was really hard to use. Trying to get a good solder joint was a pain. For someone with not much experience soldering it was quite a headache. Then I tried leaded solder and it was a world of difference! Everything just went so much smoother, and I could actually get a decent solder going. All in all, it did its job, and for the price, that is all I can really expect.Somethings to note about this solder iron. Firstly, I noticed that the handle would start to get pretty hot after a while. It actually got hot enough to the point where it was uncomfortable to hold for too long without my hand getting really hot. It is kinda to be expected, however, since the entire handle is just plastic. I also noticed that the thing browned really quickly from the heat. I wouldn't expect this thing to last for too long to be honest.I am disappointed that the solder iron was not good for lead-free solder since that is what I had but if you want it for leaded solder than this is probably your best option if you want a solder that you don't plan on using for more than a few times. 4Well worth it. It's NOT cheap if it works great~! I bought this iron back in January 24, 2012. I use it for about 20 hours a week soldering ground wires to the back of potentiometers. It's 60 watts which is hotter than necessary to solder to terminals. For terminals I have the 30 watt version of this same iron. I run both irons at the same time for approximately two hour intervals. These are great soldering irons. You can't beat the cost You can get replacement tips easily. The only thing you should not do is have the iron inserted all the way into the holder as it will overheat. And this 60 watt will do just that if you aren't careful.Here's the Tip I have placed on my website: Sometimes it's better to use a soldering iron with higher wattage than lower due to the time it takes to solder a wire to a terminal or a ground wire to the base of a pot. The longer you have that heat on the pot the more potential there is to damage the components. For example, I use a 35 watt iron with a small tip for soldering terminals and a 60 watt iron with a larger tip to solder ground wires to the base of the pots. 5good but a small flaw. worked REALLY good... however this thing gets SUUUUUPER hot for a soldering iron.much hotter than the el cheapo radio shack ones. you can solder THICK copper wire with this puppy. I think though it could be a flaw. After doing heavy soldering work (5 hours of being on and soldering stuff). I noticed the tip of it was shrinking.... i was like whoaa. i dont know how it shrunk but eh i kept it clean with a sponge and no metal rubbed off. its just that the very tip like condensed. IDK its weird. but heck i guess i can solder stuff even more smaller now LOL. Though it was shrinkin so much it was warping the tip. eventually looks like it would just wear out. good iron but keep extra tips on hand if you do a lot of stuff. 5Tip won't tin, then eats away rapidly. Tip isn't properly iron clad- rough and impossible to tin well even using special tinning material or acid core solder! Whatever cheap plating is there eats away and then so does the tip in just 2 hours use. At least the fast eroding copper underneath can be tinned.I suggest the Xytronics 200phg 60 watt iron instead. Xytronics are inexpensive, but the tips are reliably decent in my experience. I just ordered it through Amazon/Jameco. 1Not fancy; does the job just fine; spare tip My electronics iron, first used to build a shortwave at age thirteen, just quit after 48 years. A very sad day. This plastic Chinese-made replacement certainly will not last as long (nor will I), but it's entirely adequate. I just fixed a TENS unit by reattaching one tiny wire, so it works just fine. And for 9 bucks, with a spare tip, even if you have to replace it every ten years, it's a good deal.I was tempted by all the modern irons with heat controls and even had on in the shopping cart for a while. But sanity prevailed. Look at the facts, without the sexy factor:- a switching power supply made with the cheapest capacitors on the planet (drying up after 3 years)- the cheapest PCB builds on the planet (cold solder joints)- the most shortcut design on the planet (may burn down your house or electrocute you)- all for $18I mean, what could possibly go wrong?OTOH, not much of anything can go wrong with a resistive heating element you plug directly into the source. So Hobbico wins. 5Cheap. Real Cheap. Maybe Too Much So.... This is NOT a UL-Listed product! There is no UL number or seal signifying conformance to any certification. The power cord is way too thin for confidence in an electrical resistance device. Used for some quick jobs on electronics and audio wiring, and worked fine. However, it's basically disposable. Cheap materials, and has to be watched because of same. Don't leave this and walk away. For the cost, for a few light-duty jobs, it's suitable. But it's hard-core Chinese, without attention to safety details. Be wary. And beware. 2Excellent quality and a great price. Wow! What a great soldering iron! I love it! I am not an electronics person. I only do soldering from time to time on home repair projects. Recently I bought an antique tube-type radio and I have been replacing all the old paper capacitors with new modern ones. So, I have been using this one a lot over the last couple weeks, and I can tell you, if you are thinking about getting a pencil type solding iron for electronics work, get this one. It has all the power you need, maybe even a bit too much for fine work, and it's really easy to use. I was very impressed by the low price, considering the quality of the item. It comes with a little aluminum stand, but not with the radio solder or any of the other stuff that you may find in the kits. I already had that stuff so I didn't need to get the kit, just the iron. 5Maybe okay for electical soldering. Do not use for decorative soldering. I purchased this iron for decorative soldering. Not a good idea. Spend your money on better tools if you are doing stained glass or similar work. This is meant more for electrical soldering. That was my mistake. However When I wanted to change the tips, the screws were too tight and I ended up stripping the heads. Then I suspected that the iron may be over heating because the tip began to just disintegrate and later I saw that the plastic of the handle near the metal part of the iron was starting to melt. That may also have something to do with the soldering iron holder I used. However my Weller does just fine in the holder. It may not be meant to be used for as long of a period as I wanted to use it, but there was no instruction regarding that in the packaging and I unplugged it every time I knew I was going to walk away for a while. 2Quick review for something or whatever. I had some electrical issues on some of my electric guitars that needed some fine solder work to repair. I was sceptical the product since it was so cheap but felt it was unnecessary spend so much on something I wouldn't use often. It came with just the iron itself and a spare tip if needed to replace. Works exactly how it's supposed to, nothing fancy but gets the job done. If you're someone who needs this for work or as a hobbist I would recommend getting one that's a little more expensive that has more features because this item is pretty bare bone. But if you need a quick fix and only plan to use this if something around the house isn't electronically cooperative than this is your iron. Highly recommend to those who just need something simple yet effective. 4Usless, don't buy This is not my first soldering iron, but is will be the last I will buy from J&L. The iron is too long, with a very heavy, over-ballanced tip. When it heated the handle got so hot I could not hold it. The tip would not tin. It stayed rusted looking, even after I filed a flat to hold solder. The round, pointed tip was more like a wood burning pen than a soldering iron, and it worked like one as well. This J&L 60 watt soldering iron is completely usless to me, I had to go back and repair my old 35 watt iron for the TV repair.Keith 1
