What People Say
I was skeptical about the power, but it heats up faster than my expensive benchtop station. Perfect for my truck repairs.
Finally, no more extension cords! It clips right onto my Makita batteries and stays stable on the workbench.
Excellent value for the price. I've used it for several PCB projects and it hasn't let me down yet.
