FEITA T100A Soldering Station Review: Budget T12/T15 Powerhouse or Disappointing Dud?

In this detailed review, I dive into the FEITA T100A soldering station—a budget-friendly option designed for Hakko T12/T15 compatible tips. As one of the more affordable AC-powered T12 stations available (alongside its even cheaper LED-display sibling), it caught my eye for its potential value. But does it deliver? I uncover some pleasant surprises alongside major letdowns that might make you think twice.
The kit breaks down into three main components: the station base, the ergonomic handpiece, and the included tips. I examine each one closely, from unboxing and initial setup to real-world soldering performance, electrical safety, and a teardown of the internals. Whether you're a hobbyist, DIY enthusiast, or pro looking for a cost-effective upgrade, this video highlights the pros, cons, and everything in between.
