Do the job and so far very quiet.
I was surprised how quiet they are. It is early days yet and something may happen to make me change my mind but so far pretty impressive.

Does most jobs on car wiring - power lead too short for some jobs.
It struggled with one of the soldered joints I was trying to make (but managed it eventually) but the cable was several sq mm so I really needed a mains iron. A Bernzomatic gas torch with soldering bit attachment also couldn't cope with that one particular joint. For the rest of the soldering I did this iron worked just fine. If you are not working directly under the bonnet the power lead will be too short to reach the car's battery so you will need to take your battery off the car and move it to where you want to work or use a second car battery which might be unrealistic for most people.
It is good enough to now have a permanent place in my car's tool box. If you can find an alternative iron with a long power lead I would go for that otherwise you might end up making an extension lead so you can solder anywhere on the car. There are plenty of irons on sale with a USB or cigarette lighter adaptor but in my experience the cables are no longer and
bad connections cause some power loss in the adaptor rather than going to the iron. A USB 2.0 adaptor is not suited to the 30 Watt requirement of this iron and cigarette lighter outputs in some cars only run at 10 Volts so you don't get full power. Crocodile clips straight to the battery as with this iron are best .

Good value. Works pretty well. Could be improved
Little bit tricky to adjust the side arms in some applications for example removing wiper blade arms that are corroded on to the wiper motor spindles
