Soldering Station YIHUA 8786D

Sooner or later, the thought of changing your old soldering iron to something more functional slips through the head of every amateur radio amateur. This thought did not pass me by. My soldering iron with a non-burning sting made of stainless steel served me faithfully for several years. Over time, the sting was covered with ulcers, it squinted, and the body of the soldering iron became flimsy due to frequent temperature changes. The soldering process ceased to be a pleasure, which in turn had a sharp impact on the quality of my products. It was decided to unambiguously change the soldering iron and not just, but to the soldering station.

A break from all online stores, I regretted for myself that the prices of soldering stations are simply sky-high, but here, as always, friends from China can come to the rescue. A few hours of careful analysis of the Aliexpress website gave, in my opinion, a positive result. Name to this result YIHUA 8786D - A digital soldering station with a hot air blower at a relatively low cost.

The characteristics of the station are not inferior to expensive branded counterparts. Below are some of them:

It is noteworthy that the station is sold in various configurations, on which the final price depends. I, in turn, ordered a complete set, was very pleased with the purchase. The complete set includes the station itself with a hairdryer, user manual, a spare ceramic heater for a soldering iron, a spare heating element for a hairdryer, a set of tweezers, a desoldering pump, a set of mediators, a coil with excellent quality solder, a shielded copper wire to remove “snot” between the tracks, and several nozzles for a hairdryer and tips for a soldering iron of various shapes.

I want to note that working with the YIHUA 8786D soldering station is a pleasure. In practice, it has shown its best side, very ergonomic and not a bit inferior to expensive brands.
