    Great little soldering station for the $$

    I havent been able to use it enough to really write this review.But for the one time I have it worked well.I hope to not have any troubles with it as it seems to be everything I hoped for.Which is a good quality and adjustable heat iron.Built into a nice workable station.Since we were not born with but two arms and sets of hands.That make soldering a real problem for many of us.I typically use a small butane torch.Which works great for the bulk of my soldering But not smaller and tight areas that certain soldering tasks ask for.

    Smoking Shocking Letdown

    When first plugged in this soldering iron smoked like a sieve. It smelt like burning plastic.. Not a good start. 2nd, it doesn't fit the standard soldering tips. You're stuck with the fat tip it comes with. If you take out the tip it comes with, and manage to put a standard tip in it (just to get the job done), you will never get your tip back out. Just leave it in there, because you will destroy the iron trying to remove a standard tip from it. Then, after I finally get the standard tip out of it, I place the original tip back in. It's fully inserted, too deep without a working setscrew. I'm trying to decided how I'm going to drill out the broken off setscrew inside. I go to touch/remove the inserted tip from iron and I get shocked.. Yea, my fault for leaving it plugged in.. But really, the device was powered off at the switch. I shouldn't really be getting shocked. No, I would not buy again... No, I would not really recommend this unless you do very simple soldering and don't mind the smell of burnt plastic. The smell goes away after about 10 minutes. Leave the original tip in. Don't mess with it. Is it good quality? At least with the model that I received, not even close. Oh, and the soldering iron melts the plastic around the iron's mount/stand when you have it placed within the stand while working with the iron hot.

  • X-Tronic 3020 a disappointment

    I have been using this iron for the last 21 days and everything seemed to be working fine, but when I turned it on this morning it would not heat up. I could hold it in my hand no matter what temp it was set to. When I first opened, I found the heating element was bent but not broken. I have used 4 of the different tips and they worked great although the iron is advertised as a 75w, once you read the manual, you find that it is actually only 65w with a 10w power supply. The unit is very light and tends to move around as you are working. I not sure what the roller on the left side is for and it was not defined in the manual, plus it keep coming out if the supports when the unit was jostled. I was hoping for an iron that would provide a lot of heat, but this iron just doesn't have the muscle. I was disappointed.

  • Fantastic Soldering Unit

    I would totally recommend this soldering unit. It heats fast, and does a fantastic job. I have used other ones but this is the only one I would recommend to my friends. Keep up the great work!

  • Good item for price

    The only reason this item doesn't get 5 starts is due to the need for multiple tips. Tips are easily exchangeable you just need to purchase a pack of a variety of different tips especially for pc board and layered board repair.

  • Solder Rite

    The X-Tronic model #3010 is a nice compact soldering station that can always sit in a convenient spot on your work bench and is always ready to be worked. When you need it, it's there waiting on you. Great soldering work station, and a good value. I recommend The X-TRONIC #3010 Soldering Station for the Soldering Technician anywhere. Buy one today, you won't regret it.

  • Heats up quickly to set temperature.

    Comes up to temperature quickly. Stand holds it well. Fairly comfortable in the hand. The clampy things are not as useful as I had hoped but I'll learn what tasks they are good for over time. Have not yet tried the alternate tips. Like the sleep function.

  • Best value for the Buck

    I love this solder gun. For the money, I think it is the best value. Probe heats fast, cools fast, controls are easy to use, temp is steady, blue LED is easily visible. Suggest you buy the extra tips to get a larger chisel tip. Standard tip is a fine point tip. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. Would recommend or purchase again.

  • Very good value, for amature or pro, and an attractive price.

    I earn my living in product engineering of electronic related devices. This is an essential tool of my trade and I have many years of experience. This tool combines the essential traits of a good bench tool. It works very well, the temperature read out is just what is needed, the soldering tips that are included are perfect for a serious hobbyist, or a more seasoned person. It is fast responding, it comes up to heat quickly and maintains that heat setting during the soldering process. This is the second X-Tronic soldering station I've purchased and a number of features have improved. It's more compact, it includes 2 arms that with alligator clips that can hold small things that require soldering, and it includes a solder spool holder, sponge holder with moat for cleaning the soldering tip, and a container with wire wool impregnated with rosin mounted in the support stand that holds the iron. The price was in my opinion quite reasonable. The two support arms include jam nuts to keep them oriented properly, that is good attention to design detail, and a feature not lost on me!

  • Great product

    This is an excellent product. Looks and works great. Would buy from again. All you need. Just read the instructions and be sure to treat the tip after letting it heat according to the instructions.
