Garbage. Bought it on June 8, broken by July22. Broken after 3 uses. Would like to get a refund but not an option.

This is a very inexpensive way to get a high quality soldering iron for electronic repairs (e.g., connectors, wire splices, broken wires.). It’s also very helpful to have a soldering iron without a cord – works out of the box, and where you need to work. I’ve had it for a week and very quickly tidied up repairs made with twisted wires throughout my summer house – good solder connections mean safety, better charging and improved reliability. Highly recommended.

Used a few times now. Heats up fairly quickly. Convenience or portability. Easy to find extra tips (uses T18 Soldering Tips, same as Hakko FX-888).

So nice to have the freedom of no cord

I have neen using a Weller for 20 years and dragging a cord around. This heats up fast and portable. Wish I had purchased years ago

This soldering iron has been a godsend for me. I do a lot of soldering on 12v automotive applications and have found this to be a fantastic tool for this kind of work. This iron heats up fast, has decent temperature control, and again is cordless! No more worrying about snagging cords, very little waiting for the iron to heat back up, and if you forget to turn it off, it times out after 20 or so minutes. Perfect for remote work!

I have an expensive Weller soldering station for electronics, but when I need to work on my trailer or truck wiring this works well. Not a perfect temperature control but plenty good enough. Heats up pretty quick. I haven’t tested yet but I think it uses the same tips as my Weller. Lost one star because of the power LED/switch. The power switch is a pushbutton, so no way to know if it’s on or off. So they added an LED, but then did something stupid. When you turn it on the LED flashes until it gets up to temperature, OK, then it turns on solid. When you turn it off the LED flashes until the iron cools down somewhat. Here’s the problem, if you can’t tell if the switch is on or off, and the LED is flashing, is it cooling off or getting hotter? I don’t know either. But since it might be draining my battery I’d prefer not to have to wait to find out. Aside from that little inconvenience, it really is a good little unit.

My old portable butane soldering iron finally stopped working. I purchased the Ryobi 18 volt soldering iron and I’m very pleased with its operation. I can dial up the heat range I need and in a minute or two it’s ready. It will even warn you when it is cooled down and safe to store it.

Slightly disappointed with no sponge tray but not what I was going to use the soldering iron for anyway. Works exceptionally well as a nylon melter with some hakko blade tips. Clean up and finish frayed nylon and keep it from further fraying without ask much risk of burning the material up with a lighter. The temp control dial is more fine than I was thinking, had assumed it was simply a binary temp control of low and high, but seems pretty good for what I need

Great deal for 40$ , the cable is a bit stiff but swap it for some 4 core silicone wire and Its👌. 4ah battery lasts forever, and it has easy access to different tips hakka tips are interchangeable. It heats up crazy fast. People say that if you leave them on for long periods, that my be true but I will bet 97% of those all that’s wrong is there is a thermal fuse in the iron. You can simply replace it of use a peice of wire im it’s place if your not worried about it ! A few YouTube videos of it out there. So if your comfortable with opening it up to replace the stiff pvc cable with some silicone wire its an awesome little tool.
