Pros & Cons
Cons
It appears as though it is disintegrating from the inside. It has a pointed tip, not a chisel tip. If i lightly touch 1/16 thick solder to the tip, nothing happens.
Highlights
Quality
Excellent quality on off switch super feature
It heats up quickly and so far i’m very pleased
Price
For this price u cant find nothing better
Packaging/appearance
I left the one part at about 45 degree angle and the iron has a ribbed part that slid down into the stand
Competitiveness
Needed a 150w light weight iron that could reach and maintain a desired heat using a rheostat controller
Id call this the professional hobbyist model

The acid in flux solder reacts so harshly at this temp that it literally eats the tip up within a few hours

Maybe 100watts would have been just as good and save me from eating the tip into a nub
