WEP 882D Soldering Iron Station 2-IN-1 SMD Hot Air Rework Station with 2 Spools of Solder Wire, 5 Soldering Tips, 3 Hot Air Nozzles, Brass Wool Tip Cleaner, Tweezers, Desoldering pump

This is the best value soldering station, period. Prior to this, over several years I have owned two butane soldering irons, two electric stick/wand irons, a soldering gun, and a USB-C soldering pen. Between 6 tools, I still couldn't solder properly.This affordable solder station is a game changer. It comes with everything you need, soldering iron and hot air wand each with digital temp readout and temp increase/decrease buttons, and air volume knob. Accessories include 2 spools of lead solder, 5 solder tips, 3 hot air nozzles , desoldering pump, a pair of tweezers, and brass wool to clean and tin your iron's tip.The included instructions are very accurate with regard to temperatures and best practices needed to prepare and use the soldering iron. I was finally able to successfully tin and use my soldering iron tip with ease. The iron heats up quickly and the solder flows smoothly, the different tips ensures you're able to be successful on any size project. The same with the hot air, it's extremely fast and efficient, Providing more than enough hot air in just the right spot to reflow solder for rework and adjustment.Being able to control the temperature has proven crucial for consistent solder work. Don't waste your time with the non adjustable types, get this kit and you'll have everything you need to make perfect solder joints every time.

I usually don't write reviews but for this product and company I am doing so because customers that are on the fence making a decision or customers looking for a great product and need to know if your purchase won't be throwing money into the wind, listen now to what I have experienced: The product is great. I use it for big jobs, small jobs, it has conquered every project with perfection. Comes with a variety of tips and can easily change out a custom tip due to it utilizing a common tip standard. The product becoming usuable from room tempature is nearly instant. If your soldering say a subwoofer, I think the most you will wait is 1 minute. The tempature set is very accurate with the ability to manually adjust and calibrate. The blower heating element is no different. Very quick to heat up, can be adjusted and I have used it for several motherboard projects (remember to use quick heat no residue flux) and removing IC's/chips has been a breeze. Probably because I do a lot of repairing and tinkering the product did fail after 3 months.But this is the best part! WEP product support is the best on the planet. I kid you not, same day this company had a replacement part in the mail. They suspected it was the iron itself because everything worked but the iron and to be honest I thought the same. Unfortunately after the replacement part arrived I had to email support back with the update that even with the new iron, the tip wasn't heating. Without hesitation they sent a brand new complete unit which arrived rather quickly, maybe 3 or 4 days. The unit arrived almost completely crushed. I again reached out to the same support agent with the bad news. They overnighted another complete system I opened a day later! Where do you find better product support on this planet? They even let me keep everything extra they sent. So I have a soldering station with only the blower working. I have a crushed soldering station I will soon take apart and salvage for spare parts. A brand new soldering iron with all the tips. A brand new complete Soldering Station with tips, solder, remover etc. I won't need a new soldering iron / station for a very long time.WEP the company and WEP 882D the product earns five stars and potential customers fear not. This is the best product at this price point and you can buy it knowing this product has the best support on planet earth. Hit buy now.

I primarily bought this for adjusting the heat settings for the soldering iron and heat gun. It makes de-soldering and soldering easier. The plastic feels cheap but it does its job.

The soldering iron and hot air tool heat up very quickly to temp. It appears as though (at least for the soldering iron) the temp is regulated very well. (Having been certified as MIL-STD-200 and IPC-A-610 and in electronics manufacturing, I can tell when an iron won't recover and regulate heat well.) This is to say, I can't really verify if a set value is a correct value- but, once it is set, it keeps its heat. I soldered pin headers and larger components with it for its trial run. A very feature of this unit is that, when you turn a tool off, the display stays on to view the current, ongoing temperature. Also, the hot air tool continues to supply air to cool down more quickly. The tools are independently controlled and can be active at the same time.A bonus of this item is that it is lightweight and has a small footprint, considering that the rework tool is, as is necessary, a significant size. This means that it's portable and takes less real estate on your workbench. In fact, I used this in my hotel room.A downside of that small size is that it wants to move around quite a bit. I recommend something like a mouse pad or other rubber to stabilize it on your workbench. The soldering iron fits snugly into its holder, which IS nice- but the light weight unit has to be held on to when removing the iron from its holder when it is fully seated. Again, fastening to a small board or using a rubber pad could help this.Lastly, it would be really nice if the hot air tool could be removed from the unit- as I don't use this tool nearly as often as the iron. However, expense would be higher in order to make this modification at the factory.Overall, the missing star is just a workflow thing- I felt like I had to have my extra hand on it to use it, and the unnecessary hot air tool and cord gets in the way. While you can easily modify your station to remove this issue, the fact is that, out of the box, you will find it a bit lightweight for constant use.

It works and functions great! It's built very durable and with good materials. It heats up crazy fast and the design of the blower is great. I've used it for soldering small micro chips to heating the back of iPhones to change their back glass. It came with several solder and blower tips. I recommend this. Try it
