I have Metcal soldering iron and I am in love in it so much. It is story for itself.
This is another cosmos, same love feeling but in a different way. Best bang for the bucks for sure.
Tips are not cheap, but some price need to be paid.
It is twice cheaper then the digital one with the same performance, but I found this much more convenient and easier to change the temp in a second without digging in to the menus and buttons.
Beautiful machine.

The Specifications section on page 11 of the Instruction Manual clearly says:
- Power: 75W
The caption of this web page says "140Watt".
What will I get for my money -- a 75W station or a 140W station?

Reply Eleshop: It has a 140W peak power. To boost it e.g. from room temperature to the set temperature in ~2 sec. After that the normal power input is 75W which is more than sufficient to keep the temperature stable.

Got this station a few months ago and can only say good things about it, really well made product.

The fast heating is superb. Tips can be easily changed as the job requires. Combined with the high power this makes easy work of jobs involving both tiny SMD components, through hole parts with large ground planes, and sheet metal parts such as RF shields or SD card readers.

Got my new station couple days ago, but already love it. Much smaller than I expected and it`s great. Just for experiment have soldered coin - a bit slower than regular wire (230C). Special thanks to guys, who advised me. Conclusion - great soldering station, easy to use, a lot of power, changeable cartridges.

This is the Black Magic. You can't believe it until you try it. Why haven't I had this all my life?
Iron is super light and handy, lead is soft and thin and light, Station is casted from some metal and very heavy. Everything fits perfect and works perfect. Pen is size of a toy and still it kicks major ass. Still do not get it how is this possible. I know the explanation but still such a small thing with such a little mass and still can do big stuff!?? Great. Forget all other products and get this and enjoy your soldering. Till you bring pen to the working peace it is ready for work. Materials used are top notch. There is no standby switch to brake as it grounds the iron and senses that and uses it to go to sleep and after it to hibernate. Epic tool. Long time ago at my work I have had WS51 Weller and it was great. This is just another world all together. So may soldering irons that I have or have had and it was all useless compering to this. I hope you do not repeat my mistake go for JBC product. No I do nto work for them and I do not get anything for free. It is just that good.
