Which soldering station to choose up to 3 tr?

Question

Do it yourself

Good afternoon/evening everyone. I want to order a soldering station from AliExpress to learn how to solder and try to assemble something from DIY. From the criteria: cheaper, better (as far as possible for such a price).
Very steep for 5-10, please do not advise where to go.
I looked at a couple of options , what do you think about them?
Thank you all in advance for your replies.

Answer 1

For Chinese soldering irons, marriage is not such a rare occurrence that they can be ordered from aliexpress. Go to a store nearby that sells spare parts for cellular phones and buy there one for which spare soldering irons can be found.
In general, at the stations you specified, the display is a useless toy, so you should not focus on it. The station is when there is not only a soldering iron, but also a hair dryer (and when the mikruha has a lot of legs or when you need to plant a bga chip - you can’t do anything with a soldering iron). Personally, I have lukey 701, now I don’t use it anymore - I’ve moved away from repairs, but the thing is wonderful, google it. Of the shortcomings, there are only some discrepancies between the temperature on the display and the temperature actually given out (but this error can be taken into account without problems during operation) and the need to solder new soldering irons (if you don’t solder a thermoelement with a new soldering iron, it will burn out in a week and take the tip with it, the element will not rests on the sting and overheats). I probably bought the station itself about 5 years ago and, apart from soldering irons, nothing needed to be changed on it during this time,
PS The station was taken to repair cell phones, that is, the electronics were soldered quite sensitive.

Answer 2

If you don’t want to spend a lot, then you can buy an ordinary soldering iron for 300-600 rubles, with a thin tip, 25-30 watts. You will have it for your eyes for DIY projects.
The students of my circle (grades 6-9) easily solder DIY projects, a hinged pack (LED cube), etc.
If you are still willing to spend money, then you have recommended a good option. Better to have a soldering iron and a hair dryer. But you need to understand why and how to use them.

Answer 3

Of these 2 options, I would choose the one with a display, the minimum declared temperature is slightly lower (for low-melting solder, the most important thing is that the components do not overheat if you just start soldering) and I personally like ergonomics more, but this is a finger in the sky none of I didn’t hold the bottom in my hands. The opinion is based on photos and descriptions, in general, I would advise taking a station with a hairdryer, at least the simplest one, it makes work very easy and saves time. Of the very simple if, something of such a plan , for the quality of performance I will not say again.

Answer 4

I immediately wanted to advise this soldering iron , but someone's they have risen in price a lot. I took a couple of years ago for something around 2500 ... And so the thing is good, besides it is compact and the stings are eternal. Well, the quality is still Japanese.

Answer 5

I took myself Atten AT100D on Ali. Plus normal stings. Happy with the choice. Cost 1.5 years ago a little less than 3 tr.
But I don't need a hair dryer. I don't do repairs. If you need a hair dryer, then I'd better take it as a separate device.

Answer 6

It is strange that no one has advised Lukey 702 so far. The classics - schemes, firmware, guides for finalization - are full of everything, and in Runet. And Hakkov's stings fit.

Answer 7

I tried so many soldering irons - basically everything was sad with maintaining a stable temperature. Decided to try soldering stations. Everything went right the first time. Soldering station lukey 852d + - what you need. I took it here https://gmart.ua/payalnaya-stanciya-lukey-852d-kupit and I don't regret it. Recommend if you want too!
