Product Description

Make connections that last! Stahl Tools SSVT variable temperature soldering station provides the adjustability demanded by professionals, at a price that enables anyone to solder better. Total control over a soldering iron's heat to ensure perfect electronic terminations every time, no matter the job's size. Many different soldering tasks are accomplished easily by using the SSVT's adjustable 5 to 40 watt (150DegreeC to 450DegreeC temperature) adjustment. The lightweight pencil design features a fatigue-reducing rubber grip, and a Bakelite-ringed holder keeps the iron at the ready. A field replaceable, precision ground, iron-plated solid copper tip provides maximum heat transfer, minimizing cold solder joints. Includes 1.5 mm conical soldering tip and cleaning sponge. Additional tips available for a variety of soldering applications. Tip replacement/cleaning should be done only when the iron is at room temperature. The tip can be changed/replaced simply by unscrewing the knurled nut from the barrel assembly. The station must be switched off and allowed to cool before and during this operation, as damage may result if the system is left on without the tip installed. After removing the tip, blow out any oxide dust that may have formed in the tip retaining area of the barrel. Avoid getting debris in your eyes. Replace the tip and screw the retaining knurled nut onto the barrel assembly; tighten only finger-tight. To avoid burning your fingers, pliers should only be used to tighten the nut if it becomes loose when the iron is hot. Care should be taken not to overtighten, as this can damage the element. The iron should be placed in its stand when not in use. If the supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service technician. The outer case of the iron or station may be cleaned with a damp cloth using a small amount of liquid detergent. Never submerse the unit in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the case of the station.

Customers like the performance of the soldering station. They mention that it works well for small jobs, is reliable, and gets the job done. Some say that the fine ceramic tip works well to get into tight spots. Overall, most are satisfied with the performance and value of the product.

"...with some of the limitations of such, but as an entry level iron it works great. I'm not the only one who feels that way either...." Read more

"...Works well, but needed a "step up" from that to do more precision work on circuit boards. Picked up this unit and I'm very very pleased...." Read more

"...This process works awesome and my tip still looks brand new. I don't use the adjustable voltage a lot but leave mine set at about 7 o'clock...." Read more

"...The station is just plastic, but functions well. The spring holder keeps the iron in place when not in use, and stays cool to the touch...." Read more

164 customers mention161 positive3 negative

"...The only upside is Amazon's wonderfully easy RMA process." Read more

258 customers mention115 positive143 negative

Customers are mixed about the temperature control of the soldering station. Some mention that the temperature controls works in their favor, keeping the temperature at the level they want. However, others say that it's hard to heat and cool the device, the barrel gets very hot, and the heat dissipation is not effective.

"...I agree it does take a lot longer to heat up than a Metcal, Edsyn, or a Weller Professional station, but I am using this at home on my hobby projects..." Read more

"...This prolongs tip life and keeps the temperature at the level that I want...." Read more

"...tip I attempted to start working on my project, but the heat just would not transfer enough to melt the solder while on the PCB... all it seemed to..." Read more

"...Something about it! The temperature gauge works great. Sometimes the iron's tread (to hold the solder tip) comes *slightly..." Read more

248 customers mention172 positive76 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the soldering station. Some mention that the build quality is much better than the price would suggest, and it's a decent solder iron. However, others say that it'd be better off buying a different product.

"...have a lot to compare it to, a few cheap pencil irons, but the tip has held up well and has not burned up no matter how long I leave it on...." Read more

"...The tips are better quality than most available in this price range(which tend to corrode and degrade after a few hours of use)...." Read more

"...I had the same issues as many others with the iron smoking. I didn't open it up and take a look. Someday when I have time...." Read more

"...I still highly recommend this to anybody needing a reliable, variable temperature soldering station. Make sure to keep those tips "Tinned" people!" Read more

39 customers mention20 positive19 negative

Customers are mixed about the tips of the soldering station. Some mention that it's great, easy to clean and tin, and has a fine point. Others say that it gets fouled quickly, gets oxidized quickly, and the provided conical tip was not sufficient for their needs.

"...It looks terrific. Variable temp, tips that can be switched out. A nice holder and cleaning area. Very nice...." Read more

"...The provided conical tip was not sufficient for my needs, I had to buy the additional tip kit with the chisel tips that I need...." Read more

"...The tip comes out very nicely with the set screw, and I have over 20 hours of use on it, and it still holds solder perfect...." Read more

"...other reviews have already mentioned the tip and the end cap were pretty well rusted together...." Read more

33 customers mention20 positive13 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the size of the soldering station. Some mention that the tip size is just right, while others say that it's heavy duty and only about 3 feet long. Some say that the tool fits the bill very well, while other say that its too big for the purposes they need it for.

"...Tip size is smaller and more appropriate to the work I've been trying to do...." Read more

"...station(sold by MPJA), they unfortunately turned out to be too large in diameter...." Read more

"...The tip set I ordered separately came with tips of different sizes. The smallest of the bunch was just small enough to handle my SMT job...." Read more

"...the wand is rigid and works well.Tip size is about 2mm, good for most electronic work. A 5 pack of other..." Read more

92 customers mention11 positive81 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the smell of the soldering station. They mention that it does smoke a little at first, and there is smoke coming out of the base of the handle where the hot iron meets the handle. They also say that the solders are too fast and burn the tip, or it's too cold and doesn't melt.

"...Tools(Parts Express) SSVT soldering station for the 1st time it did emit smoke. That "trait" though was not permanent."..." Read more

"...The iron did smoke on the first start up like everyone else says, but hasn't smoked any since. This thing is awesome for the money...." Read more

"...While I was waiting, I noticed that the smoke that almost immediately started building when I first turned it on had not stopped...." Read more

"...My iron also smoked slightly for the first 20 minutes or so of use, but it quickly went away and has not done it since...." Read more

Got this way back in 2016 and it's still going strong
5 Stars
Got this way back in 2016 and it's still going strong
Great unit for a weekend hobbyist. I left it run over night a few times by accident with no issues. Original sponge still in great shape. Same tip I put in right after I got it, still has a super sharp tip. I absolutely love the thing. Heat control it pretty precise surprisingly. Spring holster cradles the wand very well. I give it 4 stars for safety. Good Product.
