Goot RX-802AS soldering station

[rtstorm]

Hello,

i have an offer to buy this soldering station. The seller say that this is better even of Weller. The heater is build into the tip, and every tip has a code. You can set temp. for easc code and when you change tip temperature automaticly change to set temp.

Seller say that this is used in china in manufacturing company. Handle is light and cable is flex. I try it and it's great.

Do you have any more info on this product?

The heater is build into the tip

That is a very good thing.
If the tip is built well, the built-in heating element and temperature sensor will give it very good thermal-recovery time. I have a CSI 2600 (Aoyue 2600) that uses the T12 tips (also built-in heating element and TC), and it works very very well - way better than those cheap stations with the 900M tips.

I say, go for it. But since it's a Chinese station, make sure to open when you get it and redo any bad solder joints or pinched wires. Its a common problem with Chinese stations. Other than that, they are okay.
