Soldering Iron Heat Set Insert Tool, 80W 110V LCD Digital Soldering Welding Iron Kit with Iron Tips and Heat Set Insert Tips, 16-in-1 Adjustable Temperature 180-500℃ Solder Kit, Blue

Does the job quickly and cleanly. Temperature control is vital for Heat Setting Threaded Inserts.

Works great. Only complaint i have is the length of the cord. Besides that well worth it.

Soldering tip is pressed on, not very secure

its not a great iron, thats for sure, but i wouldnt expect it to be a hakko at this price. ive only used it a few times, but it works. its a great addition to add a lot of utility to your 3d prints, and if you like to print useful, functional items, i would highly recommend one. (reviewing for the insert parts only, obviously. dont use the soldering tips for soldering, there are much better options for that. they might be useful to smooth out a print or something if youre into that? idk.)

You have to keep the tip clean or it faults out. The added attachments slip right through the retaining collar that's supposed to secure them in place on the iron. I was able to swedge the collar so the diameter was small enough to hold the extra attachments, but what a pain.

My old soldering iron was, to be honest, coal-fired, so any modern iron would be an improvement... This iron works well. It heats very quickly, and the thermometer and adjustable temp controls are useful. I am starting to work on projects that require not only wiring, but heat-set inserts, and this works very well for both tasks.

The first time I used it, it worked fine. The second time I tried to use it, there was a popping sound and a small blue flame. The LCD still works, but the soldering iron doesn't heat up. Poor quality, cheaply made, and highly not recommended!

Heats up quick and dose a nice job.
