Bundle Includes Soldering Station and CHP170 Cutter

Fantastic Soldering Iron and this is a real Hakko. The owners manual is terrible but the iron itself is really easy to use. Read the owners manual and then go to youtube and watch a few owner videos. It has all the basic functions (variable number of presets, variable preset temperatures, manual override temperature control and auto-on temperature memory) and is very very quick and simple to use. I dont think there is a better soldering iron for under $120USD.

Instantly made go from really crappy solder skills to mediocre solder skills! Heats up fast, digital controls for more bling, solid stand. Whats not to love? Dont skimp on a cheap iron, especially if you are wanting to improve your skills. With a good iron youll find yourself wanting to use it more.

Holy cow! This station is great. I used to use a Weller WP25 that I bought from eBay used and so I thought that was good, then I bought this for christmas and what a difference. The part that I hated the most about my old soldering iron is that it would take like 5 minutes to heat up. This iron though was able to get to 750 degrees in just 30 seconds. I thought I would hate the way the controls were, but trust me, it is not hard. I thought I was going to hate the fact that it wasnt analog anymore. I was wrong because unless you change your temperature like every 5 minutes, then the controls wont bother you. I also love the fact that you can see the temperature rising which helps you tell the iron is ready. If you are still hesitant about buying this, trust me, it is worth every penny. If you solder to different pads like me for example, I solder to a small pad and then a large pad, it helps so much for you to be able to lower the temperature or increase it, so no more burning pads - Unless you just suck at soldering, in that case, I suggest you dont buy this. Also, it comes with a FREE wire cutter. This iron is very durable too! It may look cheap, but when you lift this thing, youll feel the weight. I hope this review helped those who are wondering whether this is worth it or not. :)

Unbelievable soldering station. I use it primarily for automotive electrical work and it has never failed me once. Heats up nearly instantly and produces the highest quality work. One of my favorite tools. I used the soldering guns from the big box stores for years and they all broke, took time to heat up and were difficult to use. This soldering station is an absolute pleasure.

Does not heat very good so I broke it.

Hakko could make a better looking unit, but it works amazing. The temp control function is annoying at first but goes away with further use.

Great soldering iron. Came quickly as described. I have used it a few times now and it makes soldering so much nicer than the cheap irons I had in the pas. Product arrived in a timely manner as described

This item is quality! Fast heating fast cooling, great price for a great product! Couldnt be more happy with my purchase!

Really good product... Only had it a couple days, would like to see how it holds in a couple years, but sturdy and dynamic, I like it... Pliers arent bad either

A giant leap up from the Wellers I had been using. Gets to temp in seconds and retains that heat with ease when doing multiple joints in a row. This paired with the 2.4mm chisel tip can tackle any soldering project Ive come across. Very sturdy and heavy base for holding the iron, again a great improvement from the Wellers I had in the past. Easily maneuverable cable that isnt fighting you since its not overly stiff yet it wont tangle on you either like the cables on real cheap irons. Well worth the money if you do any decent amount of soldering.
