The tabs were super cheap and broke as soon as you tried to bend them so they would contact the material properly. It didn't produce enough heat to melt the solder. Went back to my 20 year old iron and that worked.

Slow to heat and when it does it's difficult to get the 2 tips to line up as they are held on with screws. The size of the ends are huge, good for removing LARGE diodes but nothing smaller. Replacing the parts with them is nearly impossible as they are not small or delicate enough for the job.TLDR; Like soldering with 2 large hot irons held like chopsticks.

but be careful... Also good for desoldering and gripping.

Trash. When they start to heat up the metal expands and the tips come loose when you apply any amount pressure to them. Tried to use a few times and failed to remove parts as the tips moved around, then you have to cool down, re-tighten, and hope it doesn't happen again - also difficult to align the tips once they loosen. It has one job, and fails miserably.

Would not recommend as-is. The tips are way too big for any fine work-- I will either grind them down or fabricate some replacements that are much smaller.Also, one of the tips came stripped of threads! The screw and tip were loose in the box on arrival. The small screw holding the tip would not engage because it was not long enough to engage the non-stripped portion of the holder. Luckily I had a screw that was the same thread pitch and a few MM longer, but quality control might be an issue.It gets hot when plugged in, that's about all I can say for it. Not for precision work (SMDs), without modification. I think with modification it will be an OK tool, but not worth what I paid out of the box.

Heats up fast and works quite well for the cost. The only negative is that the tips are stamped, bent sheet metal - that said, tweezing works just fine for SMT parts as small as 0805. I'm very pleased.

It's very good. Very stable. Recommend its use. Has a visibly acceptable quality compared to the price, the better. Thanks
