Review with rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Absolute Empfehlung – klein, leistungsstark und durchdacht

Ich war anfangs skeptisch, ob ein so kompakter Lötkolben wirklich eine stationäre Lösung ersetzen kann – aber nach einigen Wochen im Einsatz bin ich restlos überzeugt. Der Lötkolben heizt in wenigen Sekunden auf Arbeitstemperatur, liegt angenehm in der Hand und ist sowohl mobil als auch präzise einsetzbar. Besonders praktisch finde ich die Möglichkeit, ihn über USB-C oder 12–24 V zu betreiben – ideal für den Einsatz unterwegs oder auf der Werkbank. Das Menü ist anfangs etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, da es nur zwei Tasten gibt, aber nach kurzer Einarbeitung lässt sich alles intuitiv bedienen. Die automatische Temperaturabsenkung bei Inaktivität ist ein geniales Feature – sicher und stromsparend. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Die Lötspitzen könnten langlebiger sein, und Ersatzteile sollte man besser gleich mitbestellen. Dennoch überwiegen für mich ganz klar die Vorteile. Für SMD-Arbeiten, kleine Reparaturen und Projekte unterwegs ist dieses Gerät nahezu unschlagbar – und das zu einem sehr fairen Preis. Fazit: Wer einmal mit diesem Lötkolben gearbeitet hat, lässt die große Lötstation gern verstauben.
