Adafruit ATTEN 80W 110V Soldering Iron With Station

This compact 80 Watt soldering station offers a seamless entry into precision soldering. It includes a separate power supply and pencil-style soldering pen, providing a significant upgrade from basic all-in-one irons. With rapid heat-up capability, it adeptly handles both lead and lead-free solder.

Featuring a temperature control knob lock, once your desired heat is set, a Lock button ensures consistent temperature. The heater light conveniently blinks to inform you when the tip reaches its set temperature. Supplied with a blunt conical tip suitable for larger through-hole components, it also supports interchangeable "Hakko style" tips for versatile applications—ranging from SMT to drag-soldering.

The kit's metal holder offers a secure resting spot for your hot iron, complete with a brass sponge for effective cleaning. An included solder spool holder adds practicality, maintaining order in your workspace.

For optimal performance, consider additional tips such as a screwdriver style for THM or a fine-point for SMT work. Proper care, such as periodic cleaning with a damp sponge and avoiding abrasive methods, ensures a long lifespan. Note that this unit is designed for 110V electrical systems; using it in 220V environments requires caution.
