My dad has talked about starting different hobbies and wanting a soldering iron. I happened across this Soldering Station by Electronix Express and thought it would be a great one to get him. It comes with an instruction pamphlet, the soldering iron, a holder for the iron, and the control station. It has a 3 pronged plug and uses 110 voltage. I gave it to him for Father's Day and he was thrilled. He said this was a great soldering iron and station. He really liked that the tips are replaceable so he could change them instead of buying new irons all the time. The only thing I needed to get to add to it was some solder. He said the soldering iron works well, heats up and melts the solder quickly and easily. The dial can be adjusted and is color coded for different heats - yellow - 150 C, Orange - 150 -325 C, red 325 - 450 C. It has an on/off switch so it doesn't have to be unplugged when not in use at the moment. It is advisable to use this only in a well ventilated area and possibly wear a mask. Overall, he said he was very happy with this soldering station and he likes it. I did receive this at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.
