UNDER $150 Soldering Iron: Aixun T3B w/ T210 Handle Review. Is It Worth It? Better than Hakko & JBC?

Check out the AIXUN T3B w/ T210 Handle Soldering Iron Review. I'd recommend the Reseller - China PhoneFix Team - They are a professional phone repair tools and accessories supplier: www.DIYFixTool.com/

This soldering iron station is great. I found it totally replaces my expensive Hakko FM203 station, as it can handle both jobs of a large soldering iron, like FM-2027 and can do micropencil job, like the FM-2032.
Being that you can easily swap out the tips, is a huge bonus. It can support JBC C210 soldering iron tips too!
And there's no lacking in performance. It reaches temps really quickly and can handle any microsoldering jobs I've thrown at it.
In this video, I walk through a few different scenarios, like iPad 6 charging port repair, Audio IC pads, Tigris pads, NAND pads, as well as Audio IC jumpers.
Let me know what you guys think down below?
Is this a soldering station you would buy?
Anything else you want me to test?

    I have to say I like the Aixun tools. I recently purchased the Aixun iHeater Pro for all Iphone models from X to Iphone 13 pro max for only £168 UK pounds, and it really works a treat. Very impressed with this soldering iron too, seems to be doing the job just fine. I too use Hako and still have it, but changed to Sugon T26 which is another great unit, which is another cheaper unit. Aixum seem to be very good, so lets hope they have longevity too. Thanks for the Video Jesse.

    I've been eyeing this station for a while. Currently using a KSGER t12 station with an aluminum handle along with a weller 1010na. Both are good but I love tools lol. You may have convinced me to pull the trigger. Nice review thx. Also, I think the curved tip is not meant to solder with the tip, you are supposed to hold the elbow down and hold a blob of solder on the elbow and drag solder over contacts. works great that way.

    I've been using the T3A T245 for a year now and it's all been working right. Only issue is that if you somehow ground the tip to any ground that isn't the station's, or insert it improperly, it starts glowing red hot as it heats up to center-of-a-star temperatures. That has ruined a tip for me, waiting on a tip tinner so I can try to resurrect it.

    I use the T3B C115 & C210 pencil with great results. You definitely want to get genuine JBC tips and you will see a noticeable difference it how well the heat transfer is. I work on laptop and tablets on a daily basis. I also have a JABE UD1200 with the JBC C245 handle and tips. I purchased these a few years ago when I was on a budget and since they all work so well I have never needed to upgrade to the " HIGH END MODELS ". I don't really see a need for it. I even purchased the JBC C115 pencil holder to hang my C115 pencil instead of putting it in the T3B holder. You have to do a slight modification but it works really well.

    Hey Jesse! I had a question about this station. I've heard the T210 handle is capable of accepting legit JBC tips. I was also wondering if the station itself could interface with a legit JBC holder and handpiece? I've already ordered one of these stations as I need to teach my new coworker how to tackle a lot of this soldering stuff, and I figure he can learn on the FM-202 while I use the AiXun. But the issues you pointed out with the holder do sound quite frustrating, so I was wondering if using a legit JBC holder would also work?

    @@VCCBoardRepairs Thank you! As an added note, it looks like they may have resolved the tip cleaner issue on newer iterations of the T3B. I just got mine, and the whole tip cleaner is sitting quite firmly in the handpiece cradle. It's still removable of course, but it doesn't at all pop up like yours seems to in this video while cleaning. I am very pleased with the station, and the fact the handpieces work with legitimate JBC tips is awesome. This is a very good station for the price! My one and only complaint is the foam grips! These suckers were an absolute PAIN to get installed on the handpiece. I feel the whole process would have been MUCH easier if the handpiece were slightly altered and featured a fully removable cable on the handpiece itself. I kept thinking "man, if I could slide this UP the handpiece, it would be a lot easier."

    You can upgrade the firmware via computer as well and also customize screen with aixun software! :) I might order this one. Looking for a soldering station that are kinda allround. Some generic PCB through hole soldering, and cables and plugs and stuff. 100-200 euro i think would suite me. No everyday use. Just time to time. Using a Velleman VTSS30 today. Really old and outdated. Theres no accessories for it. But shipping here to Sweden seems to always be expensive from many places. Sometimes the shipping costs same as the product or twice as much so it wont be worth it :)
