I bought this last year before jumping headfirst into an Adruino / LED project. I'm a complete novice (hadn't soldered since high school) and it has served me well so far. I can imagine someone might outgrow it's capabilities as you hone your skills but at >$40 it seems like a great kit to learn on before dropping $100+ on something better. For my purposes I swapped out the tip for one a bit smaller.

This was my first soldering station. It served me well over the years, until I upgraded to something a little fancier.

Something with a T12 tip probably has the better performance at a lower price.

What station is cheaper and uses t12 tips?

Those tips alone are around $10 a pop so I'm not sure your gonna find a better system with those included for cheaper.

The ones from Ksger and Quicko. The T12 tips are knockoffs, but they work well.

ksger is around $75 and found the Quicko at $45. I bought this for $55 the other day, so I was planning on returning & repurchasing. Would rather get something better in this price range.

I lily the pinecil better than this. Much more portable. Can be powered with an old laptop charger or via a good USB c charger or even a a portable usb power bank.

Good for soldering wires maybe. For circuit boards with sensitive components you need some temperature control.

The pinecil is a digital iron and can be adjusted by increments of 5 degrees celsius. I would argue that it is much more precise than this analog iron with a potentiometer.

I got the Quicko that does not come with the PSU built in for around $20 (just use an old laptop power supply). The prices on Amazon are rather high, you would have to look on Aliexpress or (with a coupon) on urlhasbeenblocked.
