Maurice It not design to do SMD work. It designed to be used a portable solder iron needed out in the field for quick work. If you need to deal with components that are heat sensitive and still a portable solution, get a TS80, or TS100. This still beat a old plug in iron that has no control whatsoever.

I really want to recommend this, but can't. It has to many QC issues that you will likely have to resolve before you even can plug it in the wall. Out of the box pretty much it is a death trap. Mines came with live side of lead directly touching the anodized case. If I plugged that in could have received a good shock, if touching ground. Thankfully know better and always check safety on this type of stuff. Then second major issues is lack of isolation due to heat-sink for diode on left side is laying on the primary trace and in middle of heat-sink right under is the secondary side? Only isolation at that point is relying on the solder mask that it? Someone took the time and put isolation slots and optocoupler, but screw it up with that heat-sink, Easy fix is to trim the corner of the heat-sink to leave a isolation gap. Then the battery being on top of the transformer? It pushes downward force on the power supply and top casing to the point it hard to line up and push down case to put screws back. Fix is to move the battery in the spacing in front. Once you would out issues then it a good solder station as customization on open source software and uses the T12 direct tip technology, so for price if willing to fix issues is worth the price, but if you don't have other solder station on hand, or tech, or engineering experience I can't recommend. It a shame as could have been a really good product, but they screwed up with a few QC issues. Here video that better explains issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR8ai6oqkk4&t=2s
