I bought this soldering station because I wanted a reasonably cheap one that didn't have any features I didn't need such as a heat gun, etc. When I first got this, I immediately turned it on, and to my surprise, when dialing in the temp you want, once you get it set, the thing will actually show the rising/falling temperature as it heats up/cools down. I am overall extremely impressed because before I had a cheap soldering iron that had no accurate temperature control or stand. I love the tip cleaner but never have been a big fan of the sponge technique for cleaning tips so i just use a generic wire brush cleaner then before I put the iron up, I dip the tip in the cleaner that comes with the set and that seems to work well. If anything happens that I think you should know about in the future, I will update this review, but so far all is good and I don't see this breaking anytime soon. Read full review

Tips are not made to last I soldered 3 connections and the tip went in the garbage can. Tried to order more and says out of stock. Went to buy from lhs and tips dont fit it so now its just a paper weight can't use at all

This model 3020 has all the features I need to accomplish a wide range of soldering tasks. The unit heats up quickly, and the digital temperature reading makes it simple to adjust for various applications. I was able to pick up my unit at a great price online. Definitely worth consideration if you are looking to buy a versatile soldering unit that won't melt your wallet!

pro - heats up fast, handy solder holder on the side, 10-minute standby, goes to warm, does not turn off. Small comfortable easy to use iron, good tips, like the steel wool for cleaning tip, Temperature indicator is a nice feature but not sure how accurate it is, Price is very reasonable. con - iron cord connects to the front. Does get in the way. I use a strain-relief to bend cord under the solder spool (side of the power supply). Soldering iron should have a plug instead of hard wiring. The plug should be on the side or back. I would give it five stars if it wasn't for the iron connection in the front. Overall an excellent soldering iron station. The Pro's out weight the cons.

I love this soldering station. Especially the helping hands attached to it. This really makes life easy for me when I’m working on a small board and I can use the helping hands to position it right in front of the station, everything within reach. I keep two rolls of solder on the holder. And the switch in the front to see the temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit is a real convenience. If you do a little soldering, or a lot, you will be more than pleased with this soldering station. Such a great value also.
