Going from a Weller 1010na to a t12 station was a big help in learning microsoldering.. going from a t12 to this t420d with all 3 handles was game changing. If you repair electronics and want one of the best units available get this one! Worth more than what it sells for.
For phone repair I will stick to my Aixun T3B. Impressive station. I see no use in a 245 or 115 handle in this business. I would maybe like 2 handles so I don’t have to switch tips so often. But lately my conical tip broke it’s tip about 1 mm and now it’s perfect for everything 😊
That’s the next thing I need is a 245 tip unit. I’ll definitely look into this one if it holds up for a couple months. Are you going to do updates on it?
this location you are trying to put the handle is for the c115 type handle it hangs from the back i recommend to you buy it and forget the c210 you will see how much more precise will be your soldering i use 1 jbc whit 2 c115 handles and 1 aixun t3a for the c245 handle best setup possible major part of the soldering i do whit c245 and only use the c115 on the precision needed times
and because the c115 hangs from the back you will not hit the tip on the metal holder like happens whit the c210 i lose about 3 tips in the beginning of use the c210 so i buy one jbc extension that let the same station use 2 handles both c115 and after that i buy the aixun t3a for the heavy work because it’s tips is much cheaper so my setup is perfect for our job as a mobile phone technician
@@arcilonjr hi..i use JBC CD-2SE Precision Soldering station c210..but want sell and replace with Aixun Soldering Station T420D and use c115 and c245 ..is it good idea?
Temperature recovery is THE difference between a hobbyist iron and a professional grade iron. The fact you can get these with that feature at that price is very impressive. The barrier to entry just got much lower. (for comparison my Weller base station without the irons is more than this set up with everything you need)
Maybe one of yas put a word in to axiun for not honoring the warranty on the t3b. It ate every 210 I threw at it. Real jbc, their own, every other knock off and told me I didn't know what I was doing
If you guys have real repair shops why not get real stations instead of lying to yourselves. Free is great but let's not forget what it is. Even with the great ksger t12 stations are still fugazis
@@jstro-hobbytech I been using the t3b with t115 and t210 handle and no issues at all , I know lots of people who got it without issues so don’t know why you had issues, it’s upto everyone if they want original jbc or ones that are compatible with jbc tips, these stations are not illegal so it’s upto the individual what they want to use, I got original jbc station, 2 metcal stations , Hakko station, weller station and 4 china ones that use jbc tips, I got one that uses jbc tips which runs off powerbank aswell, all work great to be honest. What did you mean by lying to themselves ?
@Imran Ali I told them I had a defective unit ad I know a bunch of people with them. I'm bitter about how they wouldn't stand behind their product. Sorry for coming off like an ass. The first weekend I had the unit it literally blew the whole k tip off.
Can this station handle cleaning and soldering HDMI ports on consoles? Specially the mounting brackets that hold the HDMI in place on the motherboard. I can easily clean those up with my Hakko. But I would like to upgrade to something like this.
There is no comparison to the JBC station. The temperatures are accurate and doesn't drop much on small tips, which is great use in phone repairs. It is expensive as though. I paid mine for $1700., but it makes repairing jobs much easier.
Thanks for the review! The Aixun store doesn't feature any products at the moment... Probably only due to Chinese holidays? Or the German tax system, so they do not sell directly to Germany? There are other stores that sell the station. Second question, does anyone know a similar quality station with a tweezers handpiece? 90% of my repair and restoration work is SMD caps and SMD resistors, so a single handed dual iron configuration would be very handy.
@@VCCBoardRepairs that's interesting! why did you came to this conclusion? desoldering looks so easy with them and I've seen them on a lot of other UA-cam chanels like northridgefix. Really interested in your opinion, since you always recommend really good stuff :)
Hi, could you answer: I just bought this T420D with T210 iron and any temp higher than 230oC like 280/300 make tips oxidized very quick, do you have same in your device?. I made calibration adjustments to be sure the temp is OK. For my older soldering stations yihua I setup around 300oC and that was ok for soldering (melting) mainboards of phones and tips wasn't became oxidized for a long time. This T420D can boil water but with such low temp (220/230oC) I can't solder much more grounded boards and when I set higher temp like 300oC the iron "I" doesn't take solder tin and I have to clean it using scalpel. The K tip died faster. I tested Ultra (high golden end of tip) tips and standard tips and ultra are better for heat transportation but same with oxidized issue. What temp do you set on your T420D ? Thanks for help. I saw in this video (@time 22:50) You setup 380oC for Knife tip, but when i set 350 the K knife burnt all tin and become useless. Maybe You used JBC tips not aixun from T420D package?
@@VCCBoardRepairs I will order new C210 tips for T210 iron, and I will take this standard version of tips not ultra lwhich are less expensive. Same standard versions you've got in package. Could you tell me what kind of flux do you use and tin solder wire ? is it SN60/PB40 or opposite PB60/SN40? Thanks
@@jantestowy7884Did you solve this? I have the same problem but i can use it at around 340 degrees, higher than that the tips turns black. I seem to have a hard time getting the heat to the board. Kind of useless.
their store is currently saying the iron station is on sale original price is "1136" euros now for only 523 euros they are actually trying to mislead when i can find the exact iron station from somewhere else for 350 which is funny 🤣 it is the typical chinese 11.11 "sale" which is really not sale they put the price high and bring it to their real price with the "-53% discount"
Shoutout to Aixun for sending me this Soldering Station. if you're interested in purchasing it, you can buy it here: bit.ly/aixunstore

I was looking at this irons a while back. I believe to use the foam pieces you would remove the blue rubber handle part.
Ah interesting. I'll take a look at that

Haha yes. I was in the same boat as you. But I think having 2x T210 handles would work great. One with knife tip & one with conical.
We'll see!
time is money friend
isn't the 245 necessary for larger ICs or HDMI ports etc.?
Nope. We do hot swap method. No issues
That’s the next thing I need is a 245 tip unit. I’ll definitely look into this one if it holds up for a couple months. Are you going to do updates on it?
I'm going to be using it full time, so you'll see it in all my future videos.
به نظرت هویه خوبی هست من تازه خریدم t420d؟
Thank you! Appreciate the support!
Hi, friend! under load on the T420, if the transformer makes a little noise, especially when working with the 210 handle, is this normal?
Had any problems or everythings still working good? I am thinking about picking one up 🤔
I still use it every day
@@VCCBoardRepairs Great! Have you tried any of the Aifen and Sugon stations?
I haven't

If you get the T245 handle and large tip, I'm sure it can. Although it's not necessary. Check out my "Hot Swap Method" video.
Sugon T3602 or Aixun T420?
I dont know. Never used Sugon
AiXun T420. Sugon stand is fixed with the station which is bit distraction.

Yeah of course it won't be the same as a JBC, but seems pretty close & no complaints on the performance and quality of the Aixun.
Thanks for the review! The Aixun store doesn't feature any products at the moment... Probably only due to Chinese holidays? Or the German tax system, so they do not sell directly to Germany? There are other stores that sell the station.
Second question, does anyone know a similar quality station with a tweezers handpiece? 90% of my repair and restoration work is SMD caps and SMD resistors, so a single handed dual iron configuration would be very handy.
You can buy from any reseller online, like DIYFIXTOOL.com
I never tried hot tweezers but they don't seem like they'd worked well for my use case.
I've yet to get a reliable jbc clone from ali man. I'm trying one last time. My ksger stm32 t12 is finally dying after 3 years
I wish there was a way to use the jcb tweezers with this station…. God knows that massive toroidal transformer has the power to drive them.
That would be cool. Personally I don't find hot tweezers useful though
Very hard to justify hot tweezers with a setup like this that makes dual-wielding the irons easy and convenient. :)
Just get two 115 handles and a PCB holder. :)
It does not have any hot tweezer option/support, right? :(
Nope. I find hot tweezers to be useless

Do real JBC handles work with the base unit?
I don't believe so
Awesome
Thank you
Hi
Hello ser
where are you from sir
USA
My greetings from Indonesia
if power supply become dead then both handle dead so buy 2 unit separately
That's true
No it's not. I could buy a metcal for that price. They burned me on the t3b by not honoring a warranty and now you shill
Talk about aggravating I bought this station and it only came with chisel tips, one for each handle

This is actually for the factory slaves who have to solder with both hands if they want their bowl of rice.
Well that escalated quickly.
