Best Soldering Irons with Temperature Control: GJ-093B vs ZD-708 vs UYUE-301D (50-60W, PLN 50-100)

Question

Hello, I would like to buy a soldering iron with temperature control up to about PLN 50-60, I wonder about:
1. GJ-093B - 60w
2. ZD-708 - 50w
3. UYUE-301D - 60w
What do you think? You can give other soldering irons or soldering stations up to PLN 100

Go to 936, 937 or the more powerful 936a and e 937d + (75W in the peak heating element 60W) you have plenty of tips to buy later the cheapest and longest existing stations on the market. With proper soldering and using the right tip, you can desolder and solder everything, even with the 936 model. Don't get into inventions that are rare on the market. Then there are no arrowheads and how expensive they are.

And when it comes to choosing from what you gave, all 3 oil and buy the cheapest of this type, you will pay PLN 20 because:
-if you have to pay PLN 40, it is better to buy 936, with the least temperature regulation
- as I mentioned about the regulation, I will add that in these types this regulation is to write that it has such

Because I understand that it is more home, generally for everything, because the models you give are used for occasional, typical home repairs, and not for soldering twice or even once a day ... you write once or twice a week, so I go to amateur electronics here and this what you exchange is not suitable. Once a year, solder the cable, some minor repair on the knee, and your soldering irons.

And it is available with maybe 15W because the conductivity between the heater and the tip is negligible. In addition, after half an hour of soldering, the whole handle is hot, it is impossible to work and you have to take breaks. I also bought such a station following the suggestions from the forum. The t12 tip is full of abundance, and soldering equipment where the heater, temperature sensor and tip are one is incomparably better than the one where the tip is separate from the heater. No. All models have mains voltage connected directly to the handle, which is a bad solution. One that it is dangerous, two that such soldering irons kill electronics. The heater is powered from the mains and the tip is not grounded (the plug has two pins). Unfortunately, I also had one. The one with the transparent handle. When I soldered the LEDs shone, and the integrated circuits stopped working. One day the handle made a short circuit, the whole handle in my hand exploded, and from the flash I thought I was blind. No more of that shit. Currently, I have two: (Power supply to 24Vdc. For example power supply from some old IBM laptop.) And one DIY station with jbc tips. Currently, I have the beat: But these tips start from PLN 100, and soldering is comparable to T12 T12 tips:

If you want to solder on holiday, these soldering irons are OK. In practice, however, they are not very handy. A long and heavy stock (which houses all the electronics) is not practical for longer work. What is my suggestion? At the beginning, something from the 936 series. Soldering irons produced under different brands, with and without a (temperature) display, with a heater power of 50 - 75 W (if that's true). A wide selection of additional tips. They are on Allegro from PLN 68

I had 936. Badziewo. Get something with hakko t12 tips. They are great for soldering, and directly from China it costs PLN 40.

I'm not looking for professional stations. I am a beginner, looking for something cheap, practical and universal. I'm gonna solder some little fuckers 1-2 times a week. And I'm interested in what you choose from among these 3. Maybe you have better ones at similar prices?

maz9 · Answer

There is no doubt that soldering with a tip in which there is a temperature sensor is a different story. But perhaps our colleague from the forum is not about that. It does not require quality, only soldering something there and not the price range and I do not know why you agree so with an option that does not apply to this topic. By the way, writing about the t12 tips that you gave from the link, they are not Hakko tips, maybe they fit Hakko but they are not Hakko tips.

noel200 · Answer

Yes, these are not hakko arrowheads. They are substitutes. But they work, and the soldering iron I recommend costs PLN 40, so it fits the topic. The fact that he will rarely solder does not mean that he has to buy crap.

maz9 · Answer

So I straighten out what you wrote, you suggested Hakko and you are misleading.
These are substitutes and they are of poor quality. From the descriptions of soldering irons, it is clear that they heat up a little shorter than 900m tips, total about 30 seconds. This is just something that Hakko quality feels like

Hakko tips and the t12 that I have for sale for the Isolder 40 heat up to the operating temperature in 2 seconds.
That is why it straightens others to see what and how.

The thread rather says everything proposes to the author to close him before someone persuades him to use soldering irons for 5,000 for minor repairs at home

He's keeping an eye on GJ-903. The Zhaoxin soldering iron is therefore compatible with the 900m series tips. It has temperature control (not power) so it should be perfect for beginner to learn soldering
Here is a video describing soldering irons (there are 3 parts)

What do you think?

If you want to kill yourself and damage most of the electronics with surges, this soldering iron is for you.

Thank you for the answers, I close the topic. One wants to kill himself xD
