Biaoyun Ayyecoeeye Welder Five-piece set, Versatile Manual Soldering Gun, Internally Heated Industrial Welding Tools, Comes with Solder Wire Rolls, Stand and Accessories

Why I picked up this kit

I’m a sucker for compact kits that promise a workable bench in a small box, so I put the Biaoyun soldering gun kit through several weeks of light electronics work and some automotive wiring. The kit bills itself as a five-piece set with an internally heated, dual-temperature iron, straight and angled tips, three rolls of solder, a desoldering pump, a metal stand, and cleaning accessories. On paper, that’s a lot of value. In practice, it’s a mixed bag that can be quite useful if you understand its limits and make a few tweaks.

What’s in the box and first impressions

• Soldering gun-style iron with a two-position heat switch
• Two tips (straight and angled)
• Three small rolls of solder wire
• Desoldering pump (manual suction)
• Lightweight metal stand
• Basic cleaning accessories (sponge/pad)

The iron is black and has a gun-style handle that’s comfortable to hold. The grip is genuinely ergonomic and reduces wrist strain compared to pencil-style irons, especially during longer sessions. Fit and finish are serviceable, if not premium. The cord is average length, and the stand is small and very light—fine for a tidy bench, not ideal for a crowded or mobile setup.

Worth noting: despite the “welder” phrasing you might see around this product, this is a soldering iron. It’s not meant for welding steel or other structural materials.

Setup and heating performance

Out of the box, the iron heats quickly. On the higher setting, I was ready to solder in under a minute; the lower setting takes a touch longer but stays more controlled for delicate work. The temperature control is a simple two-position switch rather than a thermostatic dial. That means you’re not “setting 350°C” so much as choosing a power level. In practice:

• Low works well for fine-pitch through-hole components, small pads, and light-gauge wire.
• High is appropriate for larger joints, connector lugs, and heavier ground planes—within reason.

Like many budget irons, heat recovery lags on big thermal masses. If you’re soldering large connectors or chunky ground pads, you’ll feel the tip temperature sag. Preheating the work and using a touch of additional flux helps the iron keep up.

Tip quality and access

You get straight and angled tips. The straight tip does the bulk of the work; the angled tip is genuinely handy for tight spots—tucked connectors, awkward header rows, or joints close to standoffs. Tip plating is decent but thin. To keep them from oxidizing quickly:

• Tin the tip as soon as it’s hot.
• Wipe gently and re-tin frequently.
• Don’t leave the iron idling at high heat for long stretches.

Over a week of daily use, the tips held up, but they do benefit from careful maintenance. If you plan on heavy use, consider aftermarket compatible tips with thicker plating.

Ergonomics and handling

The gun-style handle is the star. The balance is front-heavy enough to keep the tip planted without feeling fatiguing. The trigger area on mine is just a shell contour—there’s no integrated solder feed mechanism—so you still feed solder with your off hand. That’s fine and expected at this price. The cable strain relief isn’t the most flexible, but it didn’t impede movement.

I also appreciated that switching between tips is straightforward, and the iron recovers to working temperature quickly after a swap.

The included solder and accessories

You get three small rolls of solder wire. The gauge on my kit was thin, which is handy for PCB work and small-gauge wire, but a little slow for larger splices. The alloy flows, but wetting improves significantly with added flux. My advice:

• Use the included solder for light-duty joints.
• For anything heavier, bring your own 60/40 or SAC305 in a slightly thicker gauge (0.8–1.0 mm) and a good rosin flux.

The desoldering pump is standard fare. It primes and releases consistently, and it cleared through-hole components on single- and double-sided boards when I paired it with flux and a bit of wick. Don’t expect miracles on big thermal pads or multi-layer boards; that’s not on the pump so much as the physics of heat mass and vias. The cleaning sponge works, but I’d swap it for brass wool if you have it—faster, less thermal shock to the tip.

The metal stand is functional but featherweight. On a slick surface, it can slide. I placed it on a silicone mat to keep things stable. I would have appreciated a case; with the extra tips and rolls of solder, this kit is easy to scatter. Plan to supply your own storage.

Real-world use

• Automotive wiring: On the high setting, the iron handled 16–18 AWG splices with pre-tinned leads and a bit of flux. For 14 AWG and up, I needed patience and thicker solder. If you’re doing an entire harness, a higher-wattage station is a better fit.
• PCB repairs: The low setting was gentle enough for through-hole components without lifting pads. The angled tip made it easy to sneak around crowded areas. For ground-connected pads, I toggled to high briefly to punch through the thermal wicking.
• Connector work: The angled tip shines when soldering cup-style lugs. Warm the lug first, feed solder into the joint, then insert the tinned wire and finish with a touch more heat.

I never experienced catastrophic hot-cold cycling or sudden dropouts; however, the iron does overshoot slightly after being switched to high, then settles. That’s typical of non-thermostatic irons and something to keep in mind around temperature-sensitive components.

Build quality and reliability

The housing feels sturdy enough, and the switch and tip hardware haven’t loosened. The stand and pump are basic but usable. The weakest link is consumable quality (tips and solder) and the lack of precise temperature control. With proper care—keeping tips tinned, avoiding long idle times at high heat—the iron remains consistent. If you neglect tip care, performance will fall off quickly.

Safety and maintenance

• Always set the iron in the stand; it’s light, so ensure the stand is on a non-slip surface.
• Unplug after use; there’s no auto-shutoff.
• Keep the tip clean and tinned. A tiny jar of flux paste extends the life of both tips and joints.

Who this kit suits—and who should look elsewhere

This kit makes sense if you:
- Need an inexpensive, complete setup for occasional electronics, hobby projects, or simple automotive wiring.
- Want quick warm-up and a comfortable grip in a compact package.
- Are willing to supply better solder and flux when needed.

You’ll be better served by a temperature-controlled station if you:
- Do frequent, precision work, especially on multi-layer PCBs.
- Solder heavy-gauge wire and large connectors routinely.
- Need rock-solid temperature stability and faster heat recovery.

The bottom line

The Biaoyun soldering gun kit is a capable starter or backup setup that prioritizes convenience and speed of deployment. The dual heat setting covers most light to medium-duty tasks; the angled tip is genuinely useful; and the included desoldering pump and cleaning accessories keep you productive out of the box. Its limitations are predictable for its class: a light stand, basic consumables, and coarse temperature control. You can work around those with a bit of flux, upgraded solder, and mindful technique.

Recommendation: Conditional yes. I’d recommend this kit to hobbyists, DIYers, and anyone needing a portable, budget-friendly soldering setup for light electronics and occasional wiring. It’s comfortable, heats fast, and gets the job done with some care. I would not recommend it for professional bench work or heavy-gauge electrical jobs; a proper temperature-controlled station with higher thermal capacity and better tips will save time and deliver more consistent results.
