Amazon has a new soldering iron for CDN$ 21.99. It has the temperature
control and LCD tip temperature in the handle. I have collected many
soldering irons over the years, but this is the best. You can find it on
Amazon.

Here is the info:

Soldering Iron with LCD Screen Display, Adjustable Temperature
Welding Tool with ON-Off Switch, Soldering Tips, Solder Wire,
Tweezers, Stand and Sponge (80W, 110V)

Brand: KLARYTYMA
4.3 out of 5 stars 41 ratings
Price: CDN$ 21.99 FREE Delivery

Excellent Soldering Gun with LCD Screen: No need soldering station,
just plug and use. With the temperature control knob and digital
display, you can adjust the temperature from 392? to 842?, read the
temperature clearly, so it is less likely to over heat a circuit
board.

Soldering Iron with ON/OFF Switch: The welding Iron kit with on-off
switch, it is convenience for you to turn it off at anytime when you
don\'t need to use it. At the same time, it can avoid long-time
working, saving energy and ensuring safe welding. The insulating
silica gel cover can effectively protect the iron from overheating.

Heat Up Quickly & Cool Down Fast: The 110 80W soldering iron uses
ceramic heating element, heat up very quickly. Four ventilation
holes are designed on the steel-pipe and bakelite, provide better
heat dissipation, which can extend its lifespan.

A Must-have Soldering Iron Kit: 5PCS different size heads are a
fantastic way to control the amount of solder going into a joint,
which are interchangeable and designed for different types of work,
such as repairing guitar, watch, computer, hardware, TV, etc. It is
widely used for home DIY, soldering projects, welding circuit board,
electric repairing, crafts/jewelry making. Best choice for welding
beginner, welding classroom, basic household toolbox.

Package Included: Soldering Iron x 1, Soldering Iron Tips x 5,
Solder Wire Tube x 1, Tweezers x 1, Iron Stand with Sponge x 1.

Nice bench vise. I\'ll get one of those.

did you mean vice? ;)

I didn\'t see any actual solder involved.

Why? For CDN$21.99, who cares.

That iron runs directly off of the AC power line without an isolating
transformer. That normally requires double insulation, a thermal
fuse, and an overcurrent fuse, none of which I see present. Get the
iron wet, or have the heating element spray NiCr on the insulation,
and you have some AC leakage to the tip. Solder something that\'s
voltage sensitive, and it goes poof.
https://www.google.com/search?q=soldering+iron+leak+voltage+current

You do not normally take a soldering iron into a bathtub. How else are
you going to get it wet.

How is Mikey going to get your equipment wet, when he\'s not even
supposed to go near it? (. . .Is your name Mikey?)


I have never seen NiCr spray anything. The insulation is inside the iron
tip. How is NiCr going to get there. The tip is grounded, so there is no
leakage path to the tip.

Crimped, nicked, kinked or substandard heater wire will arc
spectacularly as it fails on a point of erosion or fracture, so
someday you may see NiCr heater wire failure.

That black stuff you see on the nearby insulation, afterwards? That\'s
gaseous metalization and carbon - but there\'s probably a little ball
of molten heater material rolling around somwhere, if not imbedded
deep in nearby insulation walls.


An ungrounded tip can cause ESD. ESD and leakage are solved by grounding
the tip to line ground (not line neutral) and grounding the circuit under
test. Remember to turn power off before working on the circuit.

ESD build-up is avoided using controlled impedances (~megohms). Shorts
are pretty uncontrolled.

Someday, you\'re going to forget that the power is not turned off. Or
even better, you\'ll learn that the Chinese O/I switch doesn\'t actually
disconect the correct (or even any) power line wire. The clock is
ticking.

My Metcal is wonderful. Tips last forever. Temperature control is
excellent and there\'s lots of heat when you need it. It somehow knows
to shut off when you aren\'t using it, and reheats in a few seconds.
Worth it.

The Metcal MFR-1100 series is around USD$400 (~CAD$540), compared to CDN
$21.99 for the KLARYTYMA.

The KLARYTYMA is newer, has LCD temperature display, temperature adjust,
PID controller and on/off switch, all contained in the handle. It does the
same things as the Metcal for about 1/25 the price.

Why buy a Metcal?

Have you used it much? Do you have any trouble with the temperature setting getting changed as you handle the iron? I have an iron with a similar control and it is often changed when I didn\'t intend it.

I bought an iron like this without the display. The trouble with it was the control being in the handle means it gets bumped constantly in use. They need to either recess the dial more into the handle or I would be fine with making it a completely recessed control adjusted with a screwdriver.

Nice that they include extra tips, but that stand is a loser. It\'s about the size of a match box and will move all over the work bench.

An extra $2 gets you desoldering pump, cutters and a deeloox

The tips are rubbish. I don\'t see a means of ordering replacement
tips, by the dozen.

BTW - display is set temp, not tip temp.

This is the sort of thing that really needs a UL or CSA sticker.

Yes, there is a lot of not so good stuff on the market,
Have used this soldering station for years:

was more expensive though.

Worth it.
The Metcal MFR-1100 series is around USD$400 (~CAD$540), compared to CDN
$21.99 for the KLARYTYMA.

The KLARYTYMA is newer, has LCD temperature display, temperature adjust,
PID controller and on/off switch, all contained in the handle. It does the
same things as the Metcal for about 1/25 the price.

Why buy a Metcal?

Have you used it much? Do you have any trouble with the temperature setting getting changed as you handle the iron? I have an iron with a similar control and it is often changed when I didn\'t intend it.

Check internal snubber and controller ground path, if any.

Pray it goes together again.

The temperature control is fairly stiff and takes a deliberate effort to
change. It is also well away from the hand or fingers when you hold the
iron as a pencil and the LCD display is visible.

Even if you hold the iron as a knife when chopping vegetables, your palm
is still well away from the temperature adjust control, so I don\'t see
how it could be accidentally changed.

Assuming you are in the US, you can order the MINGQ version for USD
$29.99. It appears very similar if not identical:

Another similar version is available for USD$23.99:
