Just bought one from Amazon (in in the UK) though not used it yet. Though mine looks ok beware of Chinese rip off’s I understand it’s difficult to spot the difference. See videos on here.
Thanks for the heads up. I hope you got a genuine one! I looked into that as well before I bought mine. I got a legit one. You have to take it apart to really see the difference if you are worried but there are good video out there on it. And I believe the knock off don't have the shiny metal lining in the end of the solder gun holder.
Buy from authorized dealers only. There are some sketchy people on the internet... if it's too cheap, it's probably a knockoff, if the seller has only a few reviews and they're around the same time frame, stay away...
Smart move. Its always wise to invest in yourself and your tools. Ive learned buying cheap tools leads to buying multiple of the same cheap tools if you plan on continuous use of the tool. Solder on! and Keep on keeping on!
Nice unboxing
Thank you! Have yourself a wonderful day
@@QuietNerd you too

Looking to buy one of these same units. It's a bit pricey, but I'm willing to bit the bullet and make a lasting investment.

You could always just resell it since a bunch of people are in your same boat
@@matthewmorrison3745 Yeah, that's true...
Where did you order this model from?
I just bought mine from my local Micro Center. Was 75 bucks as an open box deal. 99 I think was the retail
Is this better than a TS100 or a KSGER T12?
This or a TS80P for a beginner?
