I just ordered a second iron for the lab, because we both like it so much and dont want to share. Its the best iron available. The temperature control is accurate and stable and the automatic off when not used is a very good safety feature. Lars W

Great iron. Haven’t used it yet but looks good and feels good. Fast shipping

Purchased because of the digital temperature readout. Very happy so far.

My previous irons have had problems, broke, needed calibration and testing, and just plain wore out. I bought this for the strong connection between handle and shoe, the digital temperature control and the wattage. I am very happy with it! It comes up to temperature quickly, stays steady and is easy to handle. Aircraft Spruce had great delivery time too. This iron makes me want to cover more airplanes!

Excellent tool to get in your garage, very fast delivery from Aircraft Spruce Canada. This iron can be used everywhere where you need precision and versatility. More expensive then other iron available in Canada but last way longer. Stop looking for cheap version, this one worth the money invested, trust us we have tried 4 other brands (2 are note available in Canada anymore, and it is a good thing).

I have been building model airplanes for about 25 years and I have had so many irons and this is by far the BEST one I have ever used. It is well well worth the money. I am restoring my 1946 Piper J-3C 65 Cub and it works GREAT. The digital temperature control is dead one. Amazing. I HIGHLY recommend this iron for ALL of your airplane needs. Thanks Aircraft Spruce! God bless!!!

Very nice shape and precise point- however the light guage lampcord is not resilient enough for the constant movement required for use. My cord broke right behind the stress relief. At 2 years old no warantee.

The iron works well, however it did come with some minor damage that looks like it occurred during manufacture. I dont think it affects the operation of the iron.

The Iron is a great tool. Good quality well built. My only problem is that it did not come with any instructions on how to change settings. It did not take long to figure it out but was a little annoying.

I brought the iron to work so I could brought the iron to work so I could varify its temp and temp variation using our $1,200 super precise, thermocouple, touch thermometer...it showed that the iron was 50 degrees hotter than its reading...so I called aviation art...they say theyve sold nearly 800 irons with only one defective...I DECIDED TO GET OUR CHEAP INFRARED THERMOMETER...IT MATCHED THE IRON READING....GOT OUR MAINTENANCE GUYS FLIR (FORWARD LOOKING INFRARED)...IT MATCHED THE IRON READING... MY AVIATION ART IRON SHOWED US HOW OFF OUR $1,200 SOPHISTICATED THERMOMETER WAS... RESULTS: Temp was w/in +/-5° ( +5° to the FLIR, -5° to the cheap infrared) Temp range when set varied +/-5°

It would be appreciated if you would include some instructions in English instead of those in Taiwanese. I have never done fabric, or watched anyone else do it, but the instructions on the box do not make sense to me. First, please put the iron sock into the shoe...Please ensure again if the iron sock has been put into the shoe before using. The iron is teflon coated. But these instructions sound like the cloth cover is supposed to be on when ironing. Is that correct. I have not used it yet so cannot give a rating.

All plastic construction other than the heat plate. Broke on the 2nd day of use where the iron attaches to the handle. Other than plastic it would be a good item.

To reiterate what John M said: Nice iron , holds temp well. HOWEVER, the wire cord will not hold up to flexing. The cord will crack where it goes into the iron. The cord is like what you would use on a lamp. Not sufficient to where you would be maneuvering an iron around. I only used it on 5 tail surfaces until it broke. Needs better electrical cord. My wife got zapped. Fortunately the sparks didn’t burn holes in my new fabric.
