Saw one of these on Banggood a few weeks ago
and had to get one to play with.

At first blush, the thing seems quite capable
for making good solder joints of all sizes.
The cord is a bit 'stiff' which slightly hampers
control for tiny ECB parts. I may splice a
flexible cloth over rubber cord on it to enhance
that feature.
The Metcals are still the gold standard of soldering
irons but getting hard to find used/surplus . . . too
expensive new. My own Metcals are probably
40+ years old. When and if I need to replace one,
this new kid on the block may well fill the bill
for a whole lot less money!
In any case, these are exceedingly reasonable
for the performance offered . . . a cheap
experiment if you're interested in a
versatile soldering tool
