[@CM-xr9oq]

please review the WEP/Att 719C / 982D desoldering tweezers, and the Atten N9100 desoldering tweezers.

[@phonefixtoolsphoebe-china]

Top, top

[@kwinzman]

The sponge compartment drainage hole close to or over the PCB is an interresting choice.

[@dcallan812]

It is is, especially if you dont know. 💧🤣

[@-COBRA]

Wemon is partnering with PCBWay so you can order new pcb for your repair

[@brianwood5220]

Great review, Steve. Not a bad little station. As a low end product, it's one of the better ones. I think I would buy it. Thanks for sharing.

[@sdgelectronics]

Thanks for the comments as always Brian!

[@eggmangoogle3146]

FNIRSI has released a couple new ones for JBC style tips, the DWS-200 soldering station, and the HS-02 soldering iron for usb pd. I'd be interested in seeing reviews of both of these.

[@sdgelectronics]

HS-02 review is next week :)

[@davadoff]

OP, I already saw a review by Tony359 of the HS-02: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqXagIuZpbaUj5Ysi=4l5uJEjo2e_phEVM

[@TYGAMatt]

​@@sdgelectronicslooking forward to it. I have the HS-01. It's OK but doesn't heat up as quick as I thought it would. I could possibly stretch to an HS-02 if you give it a glowing review

[@eggmangoogle3146]

@sdgelectronics Excellent, I look forward to watching it.

[@dcallan812]

Interesting solder station, I like the small handset really handy for SMD. 2x👍

[@davadoff]

Stations to review. Any station that: 1. the manufacturer claims it supports genuine JBC C245 tips, and 2. works properly like you’d expect with genuine JBC tips (no voltage on the tip, no heater current flowing out of the tip, no ground loop earthing problem, no double insulated marking but uses 3 pin mains plug - clearly against regs & CE conformity and a blatant contradiction!) I’m also interested in portable TS101 style irons that will take JBC or Hakko cartridges, and an updated station since KSGER that takes Hakko T12/T15 tips if there is one.

[@CM-xr9oq]

The sequre soldering pencils have been reviewed. I'm tempted as well!

[@brianwood5220]

Can you possibly have a look at reviewing the Hakko FX-972 and their FX-9707 heavy duty iron. This station and Iron combination is supposed to be able to handle 200 Watts. Will it do that and is the station easy to use?

[@TheBuzzBen]

Have you ever checked out the Sugon T21 and Aifen A9? I really wonder how they stack against what you've reviewed so far, especially from a design and true-to-claims point of view

[@ameliabuns4058]

I wish you did ESD safety testing! I've killed a few ICs with my pinecil v2, as much as I love it it's not grounded! it can be grounded however, or used with a powerbank to fix that.

[@diyfixtool830]

The video explains it very well and is easy to understand. It’s great.

[@overamped23042]

What happens if you use different handpiece with different stations? Are they all compatible (the same pinout)? Do they still recognize the handpirce size (254 vs 115)?

[@sdgelectronics]

Most of the clone handpieces work, though the recent Aixun battery powered station T210 handpiece doesn't fit.

[@markjones9180]

Out of curiosity what Metical station and tip did you use?

[@sdgelectronics]

It's the CV-5200 system shown here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5CueGhpiLifq9k

[@Beto-up4qp]

yo tengo dudas sobre la seguridad electrica en este tipo de maquinas, pienso que seria muy bueno que hicieras un video sobre cuales son las condiciones electricas seguras, que tipo de medidas debemos tomar en cuenta, y como se miden estos parametros, gracias por tu tiempo, he aprendido mucho, y yo compre una de estas estaciones.

[@mortenhattesen]

I would really like to see an oscilloscope trace of the AC waveform sent to the soldering iron to determine the cause of the low maximum power to the T245 handset. Is it the AC RMS voltage to the handset, missing (half)-waveforms or a too high catridge heating element resistance? Does a genuine JBC T245 cartridge make any difference? I believe the JBC T245 cartridge is rated to run at 24V RMS which should provide around 120W of power.

[@ImranAli-rp4kd]

Personally I don’t think it’s the cartridge but the transformer is not capable of 120w, the other ones that are capable use alot bigger transformers

[@sdgelectronics]

I think it will be similar to the GVM, which was just a lower voltage than needed for 120W

[@lunpham1623]

Can you rate the sugon t60 or quick q8 soldering station?

[@sdgelectronics]

I'll try and test them, I have not used either.

[@rsimiao]

Bought one of this recently, no issues with the control unit but the soldering tips quality isn't good. Four tips presenting random open circuit error messages and the C115-IS tip is short circuited. Horrible customer service based on an AI chatbot whom never answer your questions and when you manage to talk to someone from the store they tried to say it was my fault due to warming up the tips without tin or solder, how is it possible if the shorted one was never been hot? I am very disappointed with this store, they are trying to push me to order more products from them to get an spare to replace the damaged tip. I won't return the full item due the base is solid and the handles ok, but will buy some original JBC tips to replace the bad quality ones they sent.

[@TheEmbeddedHobbyist]

Power rating is that a requirement for CE or UKAC certification? just had a look again and it not CE marked. Silly me expecting it to have passed conformance tests. Would have been nice to see a protection resistor between the mains earth and the 4mm socket. after all we want to stay safe and discharge the static away slowly.

[@-COBRA]

i am pretty sure it has CE marking like every **C**hina**E**xport electric device.

[@TheEmbeddedHobbyist]

@@-COBRA As far as I can remember they were putting CE on products before we did.

[@davadoff]

CE is a self certification. It doesn’t require conformance tests unless it’s a wireless device, perhaps.

[@TheEmbeddedHobbyist]

@@davadoff well I hope you have good insurance as if the testing of all requirements is done and you have a full technical log, I for one would not sign the DOC You do sound like someone who has never worked for company placing products on the eu market. If your product killed someone I'd like to hear how you would tell the court that you did not do any testing on your product as you thought it was safe. The likes of EN 601010 are there so you can self certifie that your product meets the safety requirements. Self certification means you can do the testing yourself you don't legally need to use a test house, it dose not mean you can pick and choose what testing you do other than emc. By the way the emc testing will force you to some parts of en61010 electrical safety anyway. By the way I've spent over a million pounds on CE testing and I'm sure the technical director who signed the Declaration of Conformity (DOC) would have loved to have given that to the shareholders.

[@sdgelectronics]

CE, but I assume it's copied across for UKCA. I think it's also part of the LVD for appliances.

[@-COBRA]

i should have at least 2 buttons for predefined temperature. And sadly, you didn't test how the tip removing works. Sometimes, these clones are not heavy enough to stay on the bench when you pull.

[@sdgelectronics]

You do need to hold the station down for the tip change, but that's also the case for the genuine JBC

[@Maisanyoutub]

what is this solder?

[@PhonefixRo]

Detailed answer, thanks to the blogger for sharing, forwarded

[@EnthusiastProject]

Offsets brother Offest 10:20

[@phonefixtoolsphoebe-china]

This video is great! I love how it focuses on the key maintenance issues.👍👍👍 The Wemon T31 soldering station is top-notch with its intelligent temperature control, cleaning, and storage features for BGA PCB chip soldering and desoldering🔧. LOVE from China Phonefix - Phoebe

[@yatsribcelluler8400]

Please rewiew quick tr1 compact hot air soldering iron

[@pmatil1]

I wonder why they don't implement the reduced temp standby. That's a deal breaker for me if buying this kind of station.

[@sdgelectronics]

Doesn't seem like it should have been a difficult feature to implement, I don't understand it to be honest.

[@NicksStuff]

5:48 What the fucking fuck!!! If it's not water, it will be solder blobs!

[@andrewmorton9683]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXLNn2mDgMp1j6s - loose black wire! Such a good demonstration that it is always a good idea to inspect new equipment.

[@CM-xr9oq]

Please review the WEP/Yihua 716C desoldering tweezers. And the Atten N9100 desoldering tweezers. They look very promising

[@itguru4989]

What a stupid decision to compare sharp K type soldering tip with fat metcal

[@antibrevity]

It's constantly disappointing that these companies invest the resources into building clones of acceptable quality, but still lie about the capabilities. It would be better to sell this as a 65W station at the same price. It's foolish to design and build good-quality tools and then ruin them with deceptive advertising; take pride in your product!

[@Chris_Grossman]

Another disappointing clone.
