PROFESSIONAL:
Simplicity is the key:
This is what the designers must have been thinking when they created this great soldering station. When an accurate, no fuss soldering is a must, this unit is the one for you. It features a high quality ceramic heating element for accurate temperature control, which is adjustable between 200 and 480°C. The pre-tinned factory tip is hollow, and fits right over the heating element itself. This provides a much more efficient and accurate heating system than cheaper alternatives, which transfer heat to the tip via a narrow collar. It is supplied with a separate iron stand with sponge tray.

The Soldering Pencil:
The soldering pencil (iron) is slim and lightweight. It weighs just 45g (excluding cable), making it comfortable to use for extended periods of time. It feels so light in the hand that you could almost mistake it for a cordless unit! The lead is attached to the control unit with a multi-pole plug, which has a threaded collar to ensure it doesn't pull loose. The lead is a 1m silicon rubber cable for safety and comfortable use. It also features excellent calbe strain relief at both ends to ensure long cable life.

The Control Unit / Power Station:
The case is strong, made from quility ABS plastic. The main temperature control is centrally located, and features large printed numbers for easy temperature identification. There is a temperature status LED, which illuminates when it is heating, and flashes when the iron is up to temp. The temperature dial is factory calibrated, and is likely to never need adjustment, but there is a calibration dial just in case.
