JCD 8898 2-in-1 750W Soldering Iron Tool Set

I received a 750W Soldering Station with a Hot Air Gun and a Soldering Iron with a Variable Temperature Controller from banggood.com. This is a very simple and handy tool which I am going to use for all my upcoming light DIY projects.

Ordering Process

The ordering process from Banggood.com is very easy. I went to the Banggood.com's website and started looking for a Soldering Station. I found the "JCD 8898 2-in-1 750W Soldering Iron Tool Set". The price was good and the reviews were amazing so, I did not hesitate in ordering one.

I live in Australia, so the only thing that caught me was the plug-type. Unfortunately, this unit only comes with either US or EU plug type, however that really doesn't bother me as I have heaps of AU power cables floating around in my home.

Unboxing

The product arrived very fast. I received the product without any damage within 9 days. It also came with a one year warranty card. Packaging is bare minimum but comes with less useless plastic that goes to the trash. I'm positively surprised by the build quality compared to the price.

This is definitely not a pro soldering station, but for my light DIY projects this is perfect. It's a very quiet device operating at either 110v US or 220v EU. Temperature control is precise enough, and can be adjusted quickly.

The Heatgun fan runs automatically after setting it back to its resting position to quickly blow the heat off. The automatic cooling function effectively prolongs the heater's life and also protects the hot air heater. I really like this feature.

This unit has dual LCD digital displays to display the precision temperature. The temperature of the hot air gun can be adjusted between 100°C~480°C with a temperature stability of ±2°C. And, the temperature of the soldering iron can be adjusted between 180°C~500°C with a temperature stability of ±1°C.

The output power of the hot air gun is 750W and that of the soldering iron is 80W, pretty good haan..

If you run out of your desk-space, you can also mount this unit to the wall, interesting bonus isn't it?

Soldering

To do a quick test I went ahead and soldered one of my latest PCB creations. In my last video I showed you guys how I created a NodeMCU development Board. In this video I am going to solder a Arduino Uno development Board. You can find the gerber file in the description below.

Based on my todays experience, I can say that this soldering iron heats up pretty quickly and does its job fairly well.

I currently don't have any SMD component to solder using the hot gun, however, I will definitely use it in my upcoming projects, so stay tuned.

Just a reminder, this is definitely not a pro soldering station, but for your light DIY projects this is absolutely perfect.
