Anyone has experience with JCD 8988 from banggood?

 For just 6 bucks, I'd have to say you got yourself a real bargain. :)

 As for the T12 question, I'd recommend the KSGER T12 soldering station but with some reservations over some electrical safety issues which should really be addressed before you start using it long term. A few eevblog members (including myself) have posted their fixes to KSGER related topic threads and there were several youtube review/teardown videos around the time I bought mine about 3 years ago.

 If you DDG or google "KSGER T12" you should get plenty of hits on the YT reviews and EEVBlog topics You might even manage to track down my own EEVBlog contribution which has eluded my own searches so far. ::)

I have a differently branded but identical looking hot air station. It seems useless for anything but heatshrink. Maybe i'm just using it wrong but it's pretty miserable, and made a lot of smoke the first time I used it...

As for JCD soldering irons, I have two of their "80W" ones that look like a plug-in hakko 888 handle with a little digital display. I got one just for a travel work bag in case I forgot an iron and had nothing else to use. It ended up being less bad than I expected so I got a second. Both were like 8 bucks shipped. The power cord is too short and it's no TS100 but it's good for the price.

Yes, just learned that the hard way.
What I didn't expect is that there is even 220V on one of the pins when the switch is "off".  :phew:
