Review: Excellent iron for larger connections - This is a fantastic iron FOR THE MONEY, a steal for under $20. Most soldering stations with replaceable tips have rather small tips, while they have precise temperature control and a fast heat-up time, they are too small for large connectors. See an image comparing it to a T12 iron tip. This iron fills that gap if you need to solder heat sinks, connectors, larger wires or copper plates. It heats up in about 2-3 minutes and remains hot (as you can solder with that) for over a minute after unplugging. I measured the power to be 74 Watts. There's no temperature control and the iron overheats for tin-based solders. The high temperature will also deteriorate the copper tip. If you want to use it for more than a couple of times, you will want to add some type of power controller, as dimmer, or simply a diode in series. I recently had a wall dimmer breaking (plastic in the switch cracked) and I repurposed the dimmer circuit for controlling the power to this iron. I put everything in a small plastic box, added a plug and this contraption works great. A diode in series with a switch to short-circuit the diode will work reasonably well too. The AC wire insulation is not silicone and will melt if touched by the iron. The good thing is that the wire is relatively thin, but it could have been more flexible. Overall it's a comfortable iron, the handle does not get hot, the LEDs are not that useful in a reasonably well illuminated are, but don't hurt. Great value! Review: EXTRA HEAT DOES THE DEED - 85 Watts versus 65 really did the job in removing high power transistors known as MOSFETs from a failed circuit boards with lots of solder. 15 MOSFETS with 3 lead each, that's 45 leads for a project of this size. Sadly, my repair failed when it shorted and several transistors exploded. Partially mine and the manufactured board maker failure, fault. This soldering iron had no heat control. It was fixed with LED lights, which really did not help. The heat tip was flat and too big ,but I filed it down for the job. 85 Watts does the job. However, I strongly advise to use Flux when soldering electronics. Rosin core for that kind of gig.

Stainless steel barrel with heat and impact resistant handle. Includes soldering iron rest and No.MT20, 3/8" diameter, replaceable nickel-plated copper tip that develops 900 degrees Fahrenheit. 9-3/4"L, 120 Volts, 80 watts, 50/60 Hz. U.L. Listed. **Q: "what is the irons shaft hole diameter...wondering if it could fit a 5mm wide (not long) tip.?"** A: Hi Michael, Inside diameter is 10.41mm plus/minus 5%. **Q: Do you have a 220v connection** A: yes **Q: Has anyone used this for soldering lipo battery connectors on 10 awg and 12 awg wire? Will it heat up fast enough to do that?** A: I have never used it in a LIPO application, but I have soldered 8 AWG copper wire to 1/4" copper ring terminals and it worked just fine. an 80W soldering iron is pretty hot. It will be difficult to find electric irons with more wattage. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent iron for larger connections *by A***A on November 28, 2023* This is a fantastic iron FOR THE MONEY, a steal for under $20.

The handle was comfortable, the weight was as expected, not light but not overly cumbersome. The price was reasonable and the power rating was good. The heat is not adjustable on this unit. That would have been a bit better for my project. I made a small brass "stamp" that attached to the end so it could be used to mark items such as wood and leather. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2898030-sp80nus-80-watts-led-soldering-iron](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2898030-sp80nus-80-watts-led-soldering-iron) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
