In depth KSGER T12 soldering station review covering version 3.1S vs 2.1S, iron handles, build quality, menu setup, operation, and look inside.

The KSGER T12 soldering station (version 2.1S) has been one of my favorite soldering tools, so it should come as no surprise that I enthusiastically recommend them. Once you solder with direct drive cartridge technology solder tips, they quickly spoil a person. After getting numerous questions about the newer KSGER 3.1S version, I decided to get one to answers these questions. I too was curious...

The 3.1S version is very similar to the 2.1S and I certainly wouldn't be running out to get the 3.1 if you already have a 2.1. The newer 3.1S version has a few different setup menus, comes with 3 direct drive soldering tips (D24, ILS & K), preset heat memory locations, and you can choose between 6 different soldering iron handle options. This makes the $65 USD 3.1S version a slightly better value in my opinion for people who are getting their first proper soldering station.…
