I'm relatively new to the skill of soldering. I have a TS-100 that is well used, but it wasn't able to handle XT60 (AWG12) wires, so I picked up this unit.Packaging is really nice. Built quality felt good for the most part, except the soldering iron. It didn't feel "solid". The tip kind of wiggled even while screwed down and none of the included tips fit. I even picked up some Hakko tips and those didn't fit either. Contacted support and they sent me a new soldering iron within a day or so. Just the iron, not the rest of the unit. Turns out with my original iron, the metal sleeve within the pre-installed tip broke off and got stuck in the ceramic heating core's sleeve.The replacement soldering iron feels MUCH more "solid". All of the tips fit nicely on it. After removing my original's broken metal sleeve, that one works too, although it still doesn't feel right, but I'll be keeping it as a backup at least.Managed to unsolder some XT60 wires using this machine with the largest Hakko tip I had (T18-S3). Unit takes a bit to heat up, but it's not super long. Sleep timer for both the iron and rework are adjustable. I've only used the rework for heat shrink, but it does the job well. As mentioned, there's a good number and variety of tips included. They seem ok, but probably should be the first thing you upgrade as their quality seems just ok instead of great. Rework station has 3 included tips itself. A bit of a pain to tighten, but it's fine.Haven't used the power supply at all. So I cannot comment on it.TL;DR: Unit had bad soldering iron. Contacted support and got a replacement quickly. Unit is great for a beginner/hobbyist. A little slow to get up to temp and didn't appear to have a problem keeping temp. Probably think about getting new iron tips in the future.

Let me preface this by saying that for the money you are hard pressed to find a better 3-in-1 unit. The fit and finish is outstanding. The unit looks and feels well made. The controls are easy to operate and adjusting the unit for temperature and unit are super easy. Both the iron and hot air gun heat up super quick and stay a relatively consistent temp. The iron did not drop temp quickly when making several joints in quick succession. All the extras you get along with the kit are a nice touch, albeit not top quality. The rosin you get is solid rosin. You can use it this way, or dissolve it in isopropyl alcohol to make a liquid flux. I don't really have a use for the IC popper, but the tweezers and copper wick work well. I did not receive the additional soldering tips as the listing would suggest I should have, just the one that came pre-installed on the iron.My only gripe is that my particular unit would never calibrate accurately. Initially, 350 degrees Celsius on the unit would show as 305-310 degrees when measured with a Klein multi-meter which I trust. After calibrating on the unit I was now getting 380-390 degrees. After going back and forth a few times I've settled for 360 degrees actual temp when the unit indicates 350 degrees. Close enough.Overall, if you are a soldering hobbyist this unit provides an excellent value assuming yours comes with all the extras. Not sure how well this would hold up in an industrial/commercial setting where it is used every day. Hopefully it will last for many years.EDIT: 4/6/2020. Yihua sent the replacement tips that I was missing from the box. Excellent customer service!

Having the soldering iron, heat gun, and best of all, the power and power testing in one package keeps my work space organised. The soldering iron seems to require being set to 600° where the unit it replaced was set to 250°. Shrinking heat shrink tubing is a snap with the various nozzles and allows concentrated heat in specific areas affecting the surrounding components. The variable voltage power supply removed the need for older power supplies requiring additional electrical outlets. The downside is, since everything is contained in a single unit, if one part goes out, either nothing may work or at the very least, I'll have to use a separate soldering iron, hot air blower, and/or power supply. I shall see how it performs over time.....

La verdad pensé que serÃa de menor calidad pero la verdad me ha sorprendido mucho, trabaja muy bien y la he estado usando en el taller de reparación de equipos y sin problemaSolo le he tenido que comprar algunas refacciones como para la pistola de calor y puntas de cautingLa.verdad todo muy bien
