So makes soldering fun

I've looked at some inexpensive stations after my Ersa-piston has given up the ghost to me something to treat yourself comfortable, temperature-controlled. But none of these stations has really convinced me - either because of the processing, it is because of the power of the piston, cheap material VVON piston and tip.

But at this station makes the soldering of fun, and there is "Ersa feeling" on. This starts with the fact that the piston in a few seconds is at the desired temperature, it goes on so that you can activate a standby temperature (150 °) in order to protect the piston during breaks, to 3 presets for freely adjustable temperatures up 400 °, the set temperature is constantly readjusted. The top is beautiful fine, so can also be smaller components soldered on the board well.

In addition, the piston brings 80 watts, so you reliably brings not just fine soldering larger solder joints into existence. With weaker piston I've seen that a larger solder not fluid enough (eg when soldering of heatsinks / cooling plates).

The housing is made of plastic, even if it looks like metal on the images. But it is sufficiently solid construction. Also worth mentioning is the ground connector on the front panel in order to realize reliable grounding / derivatives.

This soldering station earned in literally a hot recommendation.
