Forney 30 Watt Soldering Iron

Everything was assembled correctly, no visible defects or damages. Works good. Nickel plated round pointed tip helps with more precision work, such as PCBs and small connectors, while lasting longer than bare copper tips. Would recommend this soldering iron to friends for basic PCB work, smaller wires, cables and connectors .

This is a pathetic piece of crap. Out of the package one of the 3 base screws was loose so I tried to tighten, it wouldn't. The other screws also loose. Fired it up for a very small solder job. The thing smoked like crazy. While soldering, the base came undone again as the screws were loose and probably stripped, or the plastic overheated and they just gave way. Piece of junk.

Honestly this product is very high quality , its heat up very fast , and it melt the solder iron without any problem , and it did excellent job , there is one guy in here that he gave 1 stars , as me mention this product is smoke , yes it does because it just came out the branch new package so it smoke only one , and there is no smoke at all for a second use , super great product for everyone

Good Experience - arrived when expected

takes a couple of minutes to warm up, but does the job

Works well.

Just your basic soldering iron but it heats up fast and does the job. Great price, and comes with its own little stand.

Probably works well with small electronic items but the use in this case was for soldering pieces of screening onto a bbq pit cover and it failed to be able to heat up the two joining pieces at the same time so it became an epic fail. Will go to blow torch to do a proper job. Price was excellent compared to retail outlets providing a similar item.

You get what you pay for, but this iron does its job. I needed a cheap yet effective iron to do some quick electrical repairs and this satisfied that need at a good price. Issues with the design, the holder doesn't so much hold it in place as it does prop up the iron. You need to be careful where the power cable is because it will pull on the iron and take it where it wants to go. I recommend fastening the cable to your desk to prevent the iron from falling over if the cable is hit. Or sticky tape the holster. It's not super hot but it's hot enough to melt the solder. Summary: If you wanted a high performance iron you wouldn't be looking at a <$15 iron. This, however, gets the job done with an acceptable level of quality. Be careful with the power cable and the stand

Good but yoy have to wait more than five minutes to heat it up.

Worked as well as you would expect
