Customers are mixed about the stability of the precision measuring device.

Customers are mixed about the melting of the precision measuring tool. Some mention that the holder is a pipe that holds the heat of the iron in, keeping the tip clean and avoiding cooling it down.

The plastic on it overheats and stinks after about 30 minutes of use, and it doesn't hold up to heat well.

"...It's functional and relatively adaptable. It fits all three irons I have, although my main iron doesn't fit cleanly...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
To the reviewer who said a solder splash shield keeps solder off the bench. You do not slap this mesh like it was a sponge but instead simply poke the tip into the mesh. No splash, no mess. The sharp edges of the wire clean the tip with one or two pokes. One person I observed picked up the mesh and poked the tip into it while holding it. Works pretty good that way.
After using this a while I have noticed that the metal tube that holds the iron gets pretty hot in fact it will melt plastic like solder spools and wick spools so do not allow those items to rest against the tube, It has still not smelled bad like one review. If I burn insulation I certainly get some foul odors but that is not the stands fault.
The packaging and (pre-Amazon) handling are not super high quality but I think these are really excellent value.
As for quality of the holder, it feels well made. It has a nice weight to it and doesn't move around on my workbench. My complaint as for quality revolves around the tip cleaner. The ball of coiled metal comes in it's own little bag and is very tightly balled up. The dish that the coil sits in does not fit into the holder very well. It has play from side to side and can lift out very easily when being used. I simply put some tape on the underside of the dish to keep it in place. Back to the coiled tip cleaner. The cleaner works very well at first, and makes tinning the tip of the iron easy, but it's after heavy use that the ball of coiled metal starts to 'unwind' and begins pulling out of its dish. I've found it's best to just rotate the ball every now and again in order to avoid this. As for the holder itself, it keeps my iron in place and does it's job nicely. The only complaint is that it does heat up rather quickly on the outside and can become warm or almost hot to the touch. No where near melting, but just something worth noting.
Despite the cons, I would recommend this holder to anyone that needs an upgrade for a soldering iron holder.
The holder is well made, heavy and stays in place. The tip cleaner looks good and does work, but a much larger one just works better.
The inner part of the holder is a pipe, it holds the heat of the iron in (does not dissipate the heat like a coil does) and therefore would save electricity if the iron is a lower wattage or has a working temperature control. The soldering iron should have a working temperature controller or your soldering iron is going to get very hot, too hot when it is setting in this stand. There is a metal shield that is just above this pipe that helps to prevent one from getting burned.
I would recommend this holder.
This was NOT a packaging error as it would be impossible to crush it in mishandling during packaging for shipping or in the shipping itself (the damage was done, and apparently hidden, by an employee at the manufacturer).
I can't find any contact info for Aven. I'm hoping they'll see this and work out a way to get me a replacement brass cup for the tip cleaner portion of this.
Otherwise, it looks perfectly functional.
Update: Aven sells just the little brass cup and brass-wire-wad separately. Amazon was going to refund the purchase price of this whole unit, but I had them just refund the price for the bit I need. Very fast response.
I will say that my attempting to reshape the brass cup (the one I got looks like it got pinched by some machinery in the factory and QA failed to pick up the flaw) and failing speaks highly for its durability. That little bugger is one tough cookie. I look forward to many years of hobby work with this.
Nice item!
