This is not a high end solder iron so it does take several minutes to warm up. The one I use on my workbench is ready for use 15 seconds after turning it on, but it's also cost 10x as much.
Quoted from flynnibus:Don't forget your 99% alcohol and brush for flux removal.
I recently replaced my brush and alcohol with an ultrasonic cleaner big enough to hold a WPC98 Power Driver board.
