Ryobi 18v custom made smart mini soldering station, T12
Don't be fooled by its extremely compact look, it's packed with all the functions you'll need from a soldering station. It's based on KSGER T12 console, the best solution for electronics soldering applications so far. Some highlights for your information:
- powerful enough to melt tins in 8 seconds from completely cool status
- it has PID temperature control, and allows you to calibrate it
- it allows you to set and save default temperatures based on different tips
- it allows you to set up sleep/wakeup activation mode
- it allows you to set up standby/sleep temperature
- it has low voltage alarm/cutoff setting to protect your battery
- and for sure, it allows you to setup temperature as you go
The menu of the console has 10 options, covering all the core functions you need for your style of soldering. A user manual will be included for each order for your reference.
This is the second version, which reduces the previous menu items from 18 to 10 by cutting the redundant items so that it's not overly complicated. After all, most of the time all we want is plug, and solder, and this simplified version of console does exactly that, while not losing any core function related to soldering, so you can still setup standby, sleep, wakeup mode, low voltage protection etc.
The original KSGER T12 has been a great solder station in my opinion, now I remodeled it to suit the 18v system, I would say there is no compromise in performance in any sense. Plus, a fully charged 5AH will give up to 4.5 hours of use depending on how you use it, I would ask for anything else : )
Handy information before you work:
Tin melting point is 183°C, lead-free tin melting point is 227°C, regular welding temperature is 300-380°C depending on what you are working with, but continuous run above 380 degree will significantly damage the tip so you should avoid it unless you really need to. The tips are consumables anyways.
In the package of a standard combo, there are:
1x 18v soldering station console
1x handle
1x t12 BL tip (most commonly used tip, other styles available as add-ons or from bundle deal)
1x portable soldering iron rest
1x User manual
1x small box of Rosin Soldering Flux
and Countless of upcoming projects and joy of yours : )
