T12 Soldering Station Enclosure for Makita 18v Battery

Low-cost but high-performance portable wireless soldering station powered by Makita 18-volt battery. This soldering station uses a clone Hakko T12 controller, which is extremely good for the price. It can heat up to 320 degrees within 30 seconds. The system is compatible with T12 series soldering tips, which have a wide range of tips you can choose to match your application.

With a built-in step-down power supply, it can use as a mobile dc power supply. The output voltage from the battery is adjustable from 0 to 20 volts. The PSU display can show real-time voltage and current and also has an input voltage reading option to check the battery status.
