Our Review
For $31.37 CAD, the POCREATION 65W Soldering Iron Kit, Rapid Heating in 8 Seconds with LED Display and Temperature Control, with USB Power for PCB Soldering, Appliance Repair, Circuit Board and Craft packs respectable specs: Board Size: 7x9cm, Hole Pitch: 2.54mm (0.1 inch), Material: FR-4 1.6mm. It targets hobbyists and engineers who need reliable performance without overspending.
Board quality was solid — clean drill holes and consistent copper plating. The 2.54mm hole pitch accepted standard DIP components and header pins without difficulty.
For the price, you get enough material to iterate through multiple prototype revisions without worrying about wasting expensive boards. This is exactly the kind of consumable supply that every electronics bench should have stocked.
Overall, the POCREATION 65W Soldering Iron Kit, Rapid Heating in 8 Seconds with LED Display and Temperature Control, with USB Power for PCB Soldering, Appliance Repair, Circuit Board and Craft fills its role well. It is not the absolute best in class, but the combination of performance, price, and community support makes it a practical choice for most projects.
