Bought this to replace a Hakko that bit the dust, I was very excited to have a digital unit from LRP. In comparison, I have to admit that I still think the Hakko maintains heat while soldering thick wire/battery packs, but performance is very comparable. The LRP's performance does not exceed the Hakko. Unfortunately, I never could get the LRP to shut off automatically, despite the magnet sensor in the holder, and programming menu. One evening I left it on overnight, and in the morning an error code was displayed on the unit. Manual indicated that with that particular code, a new heating element was needed. After another 90 bucks to replace it, I found out that wasn't the problem. So $300 invested and lost. Could have bought 3 Hakko units for that price. In the end, this ended up in a box, and was replaced with a Hakko 936 which will likely last another 8 years. The LRP didn't last me 3 months. Great iron, features and look...questionable reliability.
Don't blame the soldering station for your mistake of leaving it on all night lmo
Re LRP Solder station Are spare tips available from Amaim ?
This thing is amazing. Do not hesitate to get it. I have been racing for 30 years, and this is the best station I have ever owned. Been soldering since. Heats up amazingly fast - almost instant! Then when you put it in the holder turns the temp back down so not to damage the tip. Wish i had bought it years ago.
It is by far the best .i would buy again. That's a joke I've had mine for 8 years with absolutely no problems. Just replace the tip once in a while
Reviewers generally rate the LRP High Power Soldering Station highly, praising fast heating, a sleep feature that lowers temperature when the handle sits in the holder, and long service life for some owners. One reviewer, comparing it with a Hakko, felt performance was comparable but the Hakko held heat better on thick wire, and reported an automatic shut-off that did not work and an error code requiring a heating element replacement, which did not fix the issue. A verified buyer reported a handle heating element failure and a crushed replacement handle, describing quality control problems. Other points raised include a disliked rubber foot and questions about tip availability, with one reviewer noting a wide range of compatible tips is available from third-party suppliers.
