Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Usually the worst part in these are the tips. Instead of them being copper core they are metal which impedes transfer of heat properly. On my "field" one I replaced them with genuine Hakko (not sure if this one would accept them but might be worth a try and I bought mine from Home Depot website). If you're seriously considering small soldering I would strongly recommend Hakko or Weller digital stations though, I paid around $100 for my 888D but it's worth every penny IMO.

Totally agree to spend more if you do it a ton. I solder like twice every 10 years so its hard to justify even spending $29.99.

I suppose one could also price match at home depot for another 10% off

This kit has been working very well for my occasional circuit board repair:

Until recently this was $25.

Hopefully it will go down again.

If you solder twice every 10 years then you definitely do not need this.

That's one similar to what I use for my "field" one to carry for small projects. The tips for it were total $hit so I replaced them with Hakko ones from my digital station and also got Hakko 605M cover: https://www.homedepot.com/p/204264895
so I don't have to wait for iron to cool down completely each time. It's not very consistent with temperature IMO but for $12 I paid can't complain much, if I really wanted probably could have found much better option for $25-30 though.
Recently I'm finding that I use my Milwaukee M12 cordless one the most though (also got Hakko tips on it) if I'm not soldering inside the house. It's not the most compact one but I don't have to deal with power cord or electrical source to run which makes it very convenient for wiring on cars and boats I tried so far.

Thanks. I'll always go Weller over a no name brand. Since most of my soldering isn't bench conducive, I've found that Weller makes a battery powered iron (yes battery) that is surprisingly effective if you aren't trying to do anything over 20ga.
