They sell one with out the iron holder, buy that one. This one falls over
By bacon it up
The base is too small and makes it fall over if you use the iron holder coil. They sell one with out the coil that has a wider base. get that one and a seperate iron rest. It's not worth the aggravation of having it fall over.

Just a few little issues...
By B. Harris
This is actually a really useful little product. I hesitated to buy it because I wasn't sure if it'd be worth the cost, but it works really well for placing/securing objects for detailed work and I'm glad I bought it.
However, I did run into 2 small issues:
1) As has been stated by other reviewers, the base isn't really ideal for preventing tip-over. It's decently heavy, but it's rather small and cannot stay upright while holding my Xacto brand pencil-style soldering iron. That being said, the coil holder is largely useless and just gets in the way.
2) The alligator clips are super strong. Their clamping force is far more than is necessary for smaller wires and will often leave "teeth marks" on your wire or even cut, fray, or damage it. This is easily resolvable, though. I had some self-adhesive gasket material sitting around, and simply applied it to the teeth of the clips. Problem solved. You could also use shrink tube or electrical tape.
On the positive side, the magnifying glass (A part I was expecting to remove since my eyesight is fine) is VERY strong. It's not something I expected to use a lot, but I love it! ProTip: Be careful where you place it. I left it on my desk in direct sunlight and returned to find a black burn spot. Be careful!
In conclusion, this model has nice flexibility and some features that others do not. However, some of those features are not particularly functional, so if you find a cheaper model that will do what you want/need, you may want to choose that one over this one.

Junk
By Alan Fox
this soldering station is too small and light to be any use. To keep it from falling over constantly I had to fasten a pair of Vice Grips to the base. The clips are too light to be any use. Basically, this whole thing is junk. I'd recommend buying something much more expensive.
