2.0 out of 5 stars Not for serious soldering, March 16, 2006

By	Theodore Kerhulas "Sound guy" (Sherman Oaks, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This maybe suited best for arts and crafts projects with all its different attachment tips, but if you want to solder electrical parts, forget it. The soldering tip never gets hot enough for quality work. Better to spend the extra money and get a real soldering iron that works.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, March 7, 2006

By	Keith Beilinson "keithb12" (Trumbull, Ct) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I wanted to get a btter soldering iron to take care of a few loose ends. I saw this in my search and thought that I could use it for some crafts as well. On my first use a tip broke in the iron. I sent it out for repair and am waiting on a replacement.

By	P. Henry "Longtime Toolman" (Bellevue, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

With the Hot Knife tools, the dual power selectibility and the excellent base station with holding clamps, this is excellent for use in my R/C Airplane hobby.
