Hi, Thinking of buying a soldering station with hot air gun and I was first looking at the ATTEN ST-8902D. But then I learned that soldering iron can not be replaced with tweezers.. not that it as very important, but.. why not buy something that I will be able to build on and to be able to use tweezers would be nice.. So instead I looked at the MS-300 and MS-500. MS-300 has the "old technology" type of soldering iron and the MS-500 has the "new technology". (Note; that I used the quotations when talking about soldering irons types.. :-DD) That leaves MS-500.. Found reviews for the soldering station and hot air gun.. ATTEN ST-1509 Soldering Station ATTEN ST-862D Hot Air Gun Station Also the tweezers (N9100) https://youtu.be/7Jzx2LjOxfc Both soldering station and hot air gun has got pretty good reviews, haven't found anyone that trashes them. ..but I cant find anyone that have tested the Power Supply (APS22-5A) Has anyone out there bought the MS-500 or just the APS22-5A and are willing to share your opinion? |

3-in-1s should generally be avoided. In this case its just 3 devices screwed together, so unless its cheaper there is no reason to get it: MS-500 = $440 shipped ATTEN St-862D = $180 shipped ATTEN ST-1509 = $170 ATTEN APS22-5A = $170 So at the current price its like getting the PSU for ~$100. I would not pay $100 for that PSU, and I'd rather have a JBC clone for $170, but its up to you. |

Agree, the APS22-5A PSU dont look that impressive.. or actually looks kind of crappy. Just liked that they fit nice together and when I more or less get all three for same price as two.. so why not. I was hoping someone would say that the APS22-5A is; "great!" or "not bad at all".. darn it. Edit: just saw something at atten.com, "coming soon".. https://dedjh0j7jhutx.cloudfront.net/1523686242733039616%2F058bd89a-0651-424d-9175-5d307e5e42c1.webp Please say its a better PSU! ;D |
