The Sugon A9 - The Best Hobby Soldering Iron - In-Depth Review and Guide

[@therealchayd]

I have to say, I absolutely love this iron with the C115 tips for really fine SMD rework. For precision soldering, it's great having the finger grip so close to the tip of the iron.

@@therealchayd those small tips make a big difference on precision soldering

This guy, making me spend money on quality parts with a good review

[@NextLevelNeo]

It's the upgrade you didn't even know you needed. Really does make soldering easier.

I currently use a Hakko for my main home station and I love it but the quick change at that price point is enticing but at work as a mechanic I use a Milwaukee m12 iron and I think they fixed the fragile neck in the second generation, I love that I can swap the battery super quick and get another 30 minutes of soldering. its great for quick soldering under the dash of what I work on or out in the field where I use it most, where I have NO access to power

[@NextLevelNeo]

I haven't tried the hakko, it was a bit pricey at the time. I was really drawn to the tips on the sugon, basically the same size as JBC soldering irons which are generally considered top notch.

Great video but what is the difference between Sugon A9 anf Aifen A9 pro? Is there any difference at all?

[@therealchayd]

I think they're the same but branded differently. I have an Aifen A9, and it also has a Sugon sticker on it as well.

real shit

Is there a possibility to work with T12 with on station?

[@NextLevelNeo]

Unfortunately i don't know if the t12 is compatible with the a9.

[@mime4331]

I was to look at the station at work but the video is just blah-blah. Does that deliver 120W?

[@NextLevelNeo]

It does, short story, this is the best bang for the buck. Solid iron for the price.

[@mime4331]

@@NextLevelNeo thanks man. that would be no better ad than to show that at work with thick pbc like.

[@NextLevelNeo]

@mimeanalytics4331 so you'd rather see a video showing the iron melting solder? I'm pretty sure all soldering irons are capable of melting solder. This video was meant to show why this solder melting iron is better than others. It was long but there was a lot of info to share. Short answer is buy this iron, it melts solder better than other irons.

[@mime4331]

@@NextLevelNeo I didn't mean to be offensive, but you know - it's better to see once than to hear twice. there is a lot of stations that say 120w but fail to solder thick pcb. hence my initial question. But never mind. I will watch other reviews.

[@ChefBenni]

So this is literally a chinese JBC knockoff? Exact same tips, same handle and even same tip naming (210 and 245). Also the station is like 90% the same as a JBC. I wonder how that works selling in the US as JBC has patents on their designs. Other than this, good to see finally cheap consumer version, as not everbody can afford the JBC +400$ price tag, especially students, which really need to learn the soldering basics

[@NextLevelNeo]

Totally, it's what drew me to them in the first place. The thing works so well, and it's affordable. I'm sure jbc is better, but it's 4 times the price.
