This Variable Temperature Soldering Station from the Maker Shed preforms much better than its price implies. It’s absolutely the best iron we have found for less than $20, plus it’s high quality so it won’t burn your house down! The iron features interchangeable tips (available separately) and a comfortable rubber grip. The station features a stand with Bakelite ring, cleaning sponge, heat adjustment, and an indicator light. It’s perfect for beginner, intermediate, and even advanced solderers that need a backup. I’ve logged dozens of hours with mine and honestly, you won’t be disappointed. For this price, you can’t go wrong!

Features

  • On/off switch with “power-on” indicator light.
  • Variable 302°F to 842°F heat setting
  • Cushioned rubber grip
  • Solid copper (steel plated) replaceable tips
  • Bakelite ringed holder
  • Cleaning sponge
