What comes in this order? Is it the solder station & the 40w solder iron or only the 40w solder iron? The descriptions say a few different things

The iron plus the station comes in the package. Thesolder and extra tips will need to be bought seperately.

Both the station and the iron. Only stuff not included are solder and flux.

Hot enough to melt the solder but not the came. Try it on a test piece of came...if the came melts, the iron is too hot.

Wattage does not reflect temperature. A low wattage iron can have a very high temperature. That being said... the temperature range is 365F - 895F and should work fine for any general soldering task.

I own two of these, and I solder copper to steel and aluminum to steel. This is the most powerful electric soldering iron I've ever found. Just make sure you use the right flux for the soldering you are doing. You might also try a small butane torch if your work piece is large.

A 40 watt soldering iron works... this Hakko sucks, to put it nicely. Do not bother.i carefully placed mine in the trash. really...

There are near 50 different soldering points. This is the perfect kit for a beginner. Lots of diversity; resistors, chips and transistors. My only beef would be that it's single-sided

Yes, but this is overkill, possibly too hot. Just buy a regular soldering iron. You can find them for 10 bucks or so all day long!

You will have to use their tips. I don't use the soldering part of the unit. I have two Weller soldering stations. I only use the hot air part of the unit for removing surface mount components. It works great for that purpose.

The ETA screwdriver tip that comes with it is the best tip for PCB and general soldering tasks. Pointed conical tips are problematic...they don't sit against the component leads and slide which can be troublesome. If you stay with the standard tip that comes with the station, you will be able to do almost any soldering task. I'm using the same tip...I use this soldering station professionally in my daily pro audio electronics operation.

Mine came with all the components listed above. Except that instead of a 3A, 12V power supply listed in the details it came with a 1A, 12V power supply. At full white the strip will draw more 3 times more current than the power supply can handle. I will work with Amazon since this can create a dangerous electrical situation.

I use 150watt soldering iron but I also use a 25watt soldering iron with silver solder.but what are you soldering???

You only need port. The replacement process s not easy. There is limit space to get the solder work done.

Yes, absolutely. But you might not have alot of solder left over though.To be honest I recommend the Deluxe Kit (same manufacturer) its about $35-40 (around $20 more) but well worth it, I wish I would have bought that one instead. reason is the solder iron is variable and better quality all around. Its like the ones the pro's use, but so is the one in this kit as well, Id definitely go with the Deluxe Kit if you can afford it.

This unit does not come with a desoldering gun, but it has a great variety of tips for the soldering gun and works great. I have used the pencil tip many times to solder SMD's and other small components. The heatgun also works great and temps are fully adjustable and accurate. Hope that helps. For the price, it would be hard to find anything else as good as this station.

Like the other respondant I can't give you an exact number but it melts well with my ancient 25-way soldering iron. A great replacement for old fashioned 60/40 Pb - based some solder

This soldering Iron only comes with one tip. I understand there are multiple sizes and shapes available to purchase separately.

There are basic instructions included. The unit is labeled input and output so you know which wires to connect to the power and which to output. These wires are ready to twist on with wire nuts. If the current configuration is soldered you can cut the existing wire in the middle and just attach this unit. No soldering.
