am very satisfied with the device. Have it as my next ERSA soldering station to also something to solder larger things that are impossible to achieve with a 0.8 mm tip, there simply is not enough to heat the solder joint. Not so with this soldering iron, it will get very hot and has enough power to absorb the heat to keep even with high heat demand, also thanks to the wide peak. Another plus factor is that the soldering tips are the same ones that are also attached for my soldering station. With its slim shape, it is very comfortable to hold. The only slight drawback, the quite rigid cables, but that is probably when all ERSA devices like this.
