i bought it to solder heavy wires (#4 and up and bussbars where a 50w pensil isn'T working)It works and get hot enought on 120v for almost any solder job. (be carefull there is some 220v with a us plug that won't heat much at 120v)It get so hot that you cannot let it heat like a 50w selfthermostat pencil during all the downtime. You have to turn it off if you aren'T using for some time or it will overheat.It is also quite heavy to manipulate with precision and the curvy tip isn't perfect for all use.I cannot blame the weight nor the tip because i bought it this way...Yes for very heavy job. For medium jobs, i would look into a 90-100w instead...

I went back to my pistol style solder gun because this one takes way to long to heat up. Other than that it's ok.

I have an ancient 200w soldering iron from the 60's that is terribly heavy & awkward. So much so that I end up burning myself every time. It's probably as old as I am, the electrical cord is cloth covered (give you some idea). I decided to get a new one & I have had a few of the popular brand name & threw them away as they were just expensive junk. I went with this expecting a lot less than what I got. This unit is handy, capable, light, powerful, & even comes with an ON/OFF switch in the handle & a very basic but perfectly functional stand that really comes in handy. This is a keeper! If anything goes wrong I will update -

I read a lot of negative reviews but the thing seems fine to me. It takes awhile to heat up but once it's there, large soldered joints are easy to melt with this thing. I was soldering 12-gauge solid wire junctions with no problem. It seems well enough made for the price point. So far no issues.

Long to heat up, unstable heat, bulky, and of all round poor quality.

I used to buy lots of soldering irons for my business, always big brand-named American models costing many times as much as this iron. The guys using them were always burning up their expensive coated tips too, because they would forget to unplug them. Plus those American irons of comparable wattage were pretty heavy, something you notice after wielding one for an extended period.This iron puts out great heat, and quickly. And the on-off switch on its handle, right next to your thumb, is a wonderful feature. Not having to unplug it every time you want to turn off the heat is a big help. The secret to using this iron properly is simply to turn it off (flick that switch) as soon as the iron heats up, before it overheats, which any soldering iron will do if you leave it on too long without dissipating its heat. If you're doing small job soldering, like wires or lead came, you'll find this iron holds its heat quite a while before you need to switch it back on.The bent chisel tip provided with this iron, in my opinion, is more convenient than a straight chisel tip. This copper tip is 7/16" in diameter, which is an odd size, but it works fine. Simply tin it with solder, wipe it regularly during use, don't let it overheat — and it works great.

Needed a 150w, light weight iron that could reach and maintain a desired heat using a rheostat controller. So far the iron has performed well for up to six hours per day of continual use. The handle stays cool. It isn’t as beefy as an American Beauty iron, but for my use that is an advantage for shoulder health. Hoping it lasts a good while, but time will tell. The switch is in a location on the handle where it could be turned off accidentally when gripping the iron, but I’ve not had an issue.

It was easy to use once it heated up. The first time it smoked for some reason but after that it didn't smoke anymore. It takes longer than a minute though to get to usable temp, but it was hot enough to solder my nickel strips together easily. Be careful of the barrel after you shut it off. It will remain hot enough to burn you even after it has sat for 1/2 hour( i know because it burned my little finger). I left it to sit for a couple of hours before I put it away. That way i knew it was cooled down. It comes with a "stand" that was easy to figure out. I left the one part at about 45 degree angle and the iron has a ribbed part that slid down into the stand. That left it sitting at a balnce point that worked out quite well.
