amiciTools Soldering Iron with Adjustable Temperatures 60W

👍

The product is very good. The only problem I faced was, the bits get worn off very soon. But seller immediately responded to my concern and replaced the bits. (Leaving 5 star instead of 4 stars, since I got the support immediately from the seller) Pros: Temperature adjustable. - The main reason to leave high stars at this price point. (Controlling the temperature is very much necessary to avoid damaging the components and maintain heat flow based on the solder lead/tin ratio.) Easy to change the bits. - Looks easy and durable compared to normal solder irons. (The screw type fitment is very ingenious to change the bit at ease ) Different types bits are available - at-least 10-20 varieties are available compared to normal solder iron. (I have two types of pointed tips, round tip, flat head tip and wedge tip to solder/desolder at ease and for multiple use cases) (I can do it now more professionally and neatly depending on the use cases and methodology) Cons. The bits may wear off very soon - I see the solder tip gets worn - off in few usages I need to try some good quality tips e.g. HAKKO) - "This is the main draw back" - I request the seller to improve on it, by providing an alternate bit. (Actually, this is a copy of Hakko solder iron by some Chinese manufacturer named the product as "Yarboly") The bits are costlier compared to normal solder iron bits/tips. -Tip may range from Rs 150 to 500 (at least 10times costlier compared to normal solder tips).

Product is nice, heats up quickly unlike normal 25 watt. Despite being price on higher side and main issue for me is lenght of wire which is only 1 meter, it should have been 1.5 meters.

This soldering iron feels more delicate and smaller than I was expecting but works as advertised. Its well made and the heating is pretty fast and focused on the tip. There is a power indicator on the barrel. All the tips are made of chrome plated copper and hence some people are complaining about quick corrosion of the tips. Copper is a much better conductor of heat and it is far better than iron tipped equipment which does not conduct heat as well though it lasts longer. The joints on PCBs made by copper tipped soldering irons are much better. And because its copper, tinning takes a fraction of a second each time a joint needs to be heated with common 60/40 solder. The two core cable is thicker than usual so that's another plus point. For those that care, this is a TRIAC based device (similar to electronic fan regulators and light dimmers) which controls the heating element temperature by regulating the current to it. The packing was not done well. Everything was just put in a generic plastic bag and put inside an Amazon soft courier bag. Luckily everything survived. Bottom line, its a good product for occasional users who know what they are doing especially in electronics and can appreciate copper tipped soldering iron instead of iron tipped. This is a much better alternate than lugging around and setting up a full soldering station for one or two quick joints.

It's very sleek, works very well but the soldering bits get pitted very fast. Within a week, two out of six bits are almost gone even with light work. Bits are not durable.

Earlier I gave it 5 star because it was such a nice soldering iron. Heats up fast, and there are temperature control upto 450 degree Celsius. but I didnt use it more then 9-10 times that it stop working at all. I thought it was valued for money,but frankly it seems a waste of money. i could have bought around 3-4 number of other good soldering iron at that price. My 150 Rs. soldron iron is still working even after 2 years of usage. So I suggest you wouldn't lik eit when it stops working. sad thing is that I have even wrote a nice review about it in my website earlier. Unless I get satisfied I would rate it 1 star since it has waste about 1k of y money. :(
