Excellent review! I wish that I needed another solder station. I love the features that this has. ESPECIALLY being able to choose an auto shutdown if one walks away from the unit and forgets. LOL
Great review! Some very nice features - I really like the dormancy/sleep options - I have at least once left my iron on all night..... The real champion of this video is the soldering iron stand that you purchased separately 😎 The tips that it came with were way too skinny - they should have mixed it up a little, like - "ok here's a tip for a small job, a medium job, and a heavy solder job".....
i have a ksger t12 iron with the upgraded aluminum handle..works well but this os better and i also had to ground the iron myself!! ksger not safe out of the box. ill be buying this soon! thx!! great video!
I was lucky my k stations were grounded. I have the t3b and it's defective. They will not help you warranty wise. They used every excuse they could and now I'm left with the nice stand for 250 cad
@@BryanTorok I like my ksger t12 I just wanted to mix it up and get a new iron. I bought a better handle haha. I've been starting doing some repair work on 3d printers and other stuff so I've been thinking about a metcal. It's expensive up front but tips are cheap. I need a new scope first which is coming soon I'm getting one of the new rigol 8gsa mso scopes. They're badass looking and cheap for what they are. 1500cad or so with tax. I'm 43 so it'll probably be the only scope i ever need haha I currently have a hantek dso5102p which I plan to give away to whoever will take it when I get my new one. I ordered a new guitar this week and I'm tearing the kitchen down to the studs and rebuilding it next month so the wife will let me get whatever I want. It's funny, my wife says I have expensive tastes yet she wants a new kitchen even though we have a perfectly fine one. She wanted a pool as well and got that haha I'd rather have my head buried in a project then get in the water. I've been in it twice for 1 second each time. Women compete with each other over that stuff when you could go on a tour across Europe and Asia and still have money left over. You won't remember your new kitchen on your death bed but memories of travels will be cherished. Sorry. That got deep.
@@jstro-hobbytech I get where you are coming from. I wasn't questioning your wanting to a new soldering station, just that I try to avoid buying stuff made in China where it reasonable or practical to do so. They have messed with the USA and Canada tremendously (not necessarily the people, but their government) in terms of the economy and intellectual property. China has bought control in a large swath South American and African countries. They have been doing so for decades. Weller products are designed in Germany and built in Mexico for the N. American market. Hanko is designed in Japan and assembled in a different Asian country, Malaysia, I think. But, I get it. For about the past year, I've been looking at buying the Rigol MSO5072 and running a software hack to upgrade to the capabilities of MSO5354. I'm not sure that gets it to 8 gsa. I'll have to look. If you are taking care of the wife, then enjoy your avocation and have good equipment. You deserve it.
I expect that the apparent initial temperature overshoot is because of the distance between the tip and the sensor (the latter is nearer to the heating element). It will take a tiny bit longer for all the heat to disperse evenly throughout the element and reach the tip. So they would pump in enough heat that, once fully dispersed, the tip will reach the right temp - which means there is a short overshoot at the sensor location.
on a different review of a kit that included a JBC style clone, not only did the clone tips show overshoot, measured independently the temperature each tip reached was roughly 10% lower than what was set. the same iron with legit JBC brand tips behaved correctly and reached the correct temp.
Great review. Will probably purchase the device tomorrow. I currently have no soldering machine for the first time since 1994, as my previous machine, an Aoyue, died recently. Not going for that brand again if I can help it. Cheers.
In a video from another youtuber who has a temperature probe it can be seen that it also overshot on the older firmware, it just didnt show on the display. Imo its better to see the actual temperature its reading rather than what they want you to believe
AIXUN T3A soldering iron station with 2.4 inch color display, 100-480 ℃ temperature adjustable, with real-time dormancy, supports 936, T12, T245 handles and soldering iron tips for mobile phone soldering repair.
I had plans to buy this solder station but apparently there's some people experiencing voltage going to the tip when using the grounding clip can anyone confirm
🧡🧡🧡🧡 سلام تشکر ویژه از زحمات شما . لظقا طوری ویدیو ادیت کنید که غیر از زبان خودتون هم بفهمند سپاس 🧡🧡🧡🧡Hello 🧡🧡🧡🧡Hello, special thanks for your efforts. Edit the video carefully so that they can understand it in your own language. Thank you🧡🧡🧡🧡
I still found these to be too expensive. And so i went with the latest version of the Ksger ST unit. Because i don't solder all that much and figured it would be sufficient. 55 euro. with a stand, 4 different tips. But without power cable. I have plenty of those at home.
@@MadRC I bought the t3b and it's dead and I'm currently in a dispute with the seller. It kept breaking tips. Some before they could even be tinned. I'll give ya more info when it gets decided on
Better late than never? Sad this dude always is so arrogant. Just look SDG Electronics review and comparisons, he at least is really an authority in this regard.
Arrogant lol, what nonsense are you talking about man. Yes Steve is a very good guy and he does a lot of test gear reviews but it don’t mean others should not. Sorry but I’m going to call you out when you post bullshit like arrogant 😂
In what Universe are you anything other than arrogant? You act like you are a pro because you have managed to replace an SMD package containing a Diode or a regulator… Props to you, I salut you. . . So pathetic. Yeah sure, good job, but don’t act like it’s such a big deal. Just glance over his history in RCgroups where he acts from time to time he is such an important person and the arguments break apart shortly after
@@gtm3617 this is the first video I've seen from this channel and the host seems perfectly pleasant and informative. Pretty sure you are being petty and obsessing about somthing that has no effect on your everyday life. You may want to talk to a psychologist about this lashing out at people for reasons you make up in your head. Good luck.
