YIHUA 926 III 110W Soldering Iron Station Kit with LED Display, 2 Helping Hands, 3 Extra Iron Tips, 35g Lead-Free Solder, Solder Sucker, S/S Tweezers, °C/°F Conversion, Calibration & Sleep Features

Adjustable temp and nice soldering station. I used this on repairing my 2012 Chevy Colorado 4x4 center console switch. Lighting was out and buttons were intermittent. Installed LED lighting and replaced all three micro switches (2WD, 4WD High and 4WD Low). The lighting for the passenger air bag logo was also out so I replaced the incandescent bulbs as well with LEDs. Now I have full function and lighting back. I would have just bought an entire new switch from GM, but they discontinued this part and only available as used.

Plugged it in and turned it on. After about two minutes I could touch the tip, it hadn’t heated up at all. Display set to 550.(Edit) They sent me a new one and it works great.

I bought this to replace my old Hakko 936. This iron heats quickly and accurately, but it does not hold the heat like the Hakko. If you have a small metal to sink the heat, it will not provide enough heat to solder. The Hakko does. I will learn to use it as it is better than most other stations.

As a home hobbiest with a train and many varied repair projects for people, I have found this to be a perfect instrument. Far more useful than the larger soldering gun I have used for years. It gets hot fast to temperatures I was unable to obtain with other guns. Very please with it and certainly would recommend it to others.

nice adjustable heat. works very well

It heats quickly from off or standby, temperature control is great. One thing I really like about the iron is that the tip holder collar that you unscrew to change the tip is metal and it is threading onto metal. I had a different brand iron that I liked except for this feature. The tip holder nut would break and you then had a hot iron in you lap. I have not encountered anything about this iron that I dislike. For the money it is a very nice iron.

I absolutely love this soldering station but, I am not able to locate any spare parts for this unit anywhere.I looked for iron replacement, and a heating element replacement but unable to locate anywhere.This only seems to be the case for the 110 watt version. I was able to find any replacement part for the 60 watt version. I emailed YIHUA asking if parts will be available in the near future, or if the heating element is interchangeable but have not heard back.No response is another added worry.I am aware that the ceramic heating elements burn out from time to time so I want to assure that I don't have to replace the whole unit if the heating element goes bad.I am going to return this unit due to no response and not parts available.Going to replace with the 939D+

I like this thing. As a hobbyist who can't justify spending north of $100 on a piece of metal that gets hot, this is fantastic. The solder holder, helping hands, holder and sponge holder all in one package is exactly what I needed and for a fair price.My ONE gripe is the cord length. It should be about 2 ft longer on my opinion, or perhaps even detachable, allowing you to swap out for different cord lengths. In fact, I may just make that mod, I have a spare 3 prong power cable socket.
