Bundle Includes Soldering Station and CHP170 Cutter

This is a great soldering iron for the money. The free flush-cut tool is high quality and makes the deal even more desirable. Plenty of power for nearly all hobbyist needs. I got it from Kimco for $96, they are recommended.

easily a new age contender of stationary soldering irons.

I dont have to solder that much so I initially bought a cheap soldering gun. It wasnt bad but it didnt tell me the temp setting or when it had achieved temp. Fortunately, I lost it in a move so decided to replace it with this based on a recommendation in an article. I will never go cheap again! This heats up really quickly. The stock tip is perfect for 90% of jobs. I really cant see the reason I would ever buy one of the more expensive ones unless I was a professional.

Prior this unit I tried 3 other ones from unknown Chines brands and Weller and finally found the ideal soldering device for my bench. Dont waste your money on other soldering iron if you are looking for a reliable device that works and satisfy you with the touch and quality. Unfortunately I did not do it the first time. I cannot tell yet about its longevity though.

I really like the design, but it wont keep temp after using about 3 hours. Temp will say it is 750 degrees, but it takes too long to melt Oyaide SS-47 solder. Soldering iron kept getting stuck to the audio connectors I was soldering. Sending it back.

Great soldering iron for the price. Ive been using this a ton since I got it and love it. The instructions for setting defaults and learning how the dial/temp/settings work can be a bit confusing, but after a few times youll understand. Yes Weller makes a better iron but youll pay twice as much for slightly easier to understand operating procedures. This is a better value in my opinion

I think anyone who enjoys soldering and certainly anyone who, for whatever reason, needs to but hates doing it, like myself, will find this an invaluable investment that is worth every cent and probably even at twice the price. A skill that has eluded me and always a source of frustration, which I would attempt only as a last resort. Recently I developed an interest in quadcopters, a hobby that involves not only a great deal of soldering, but requires a level of precision I had never considered nor desired attaining. However, the satisfaction the hobby brings me has driven me to aquire six different soldering irons / stations and many types of solder in my effort to become efficient. Many hours of practice and 2 ruined flight control boards had finally allowed me to overcome the dread associated with the skill. Still not satisfied with the equipment I was using, I researched what the best copter builders were using and quickly found this to be the overall favorite. The only regret I have regarding the purchase of this unit, is that I didnt do my homework sooner because the difference is night and day. I can only imagine the time and frustration I might have saved by buying this early on. Overnight I went from viewing soldering as an accepted means to an end, to actually looking forward to doing it and being proud of the results. Having this unit and a little practice, along with the basic fundamentals of soldering is all that one needs to avoid much aggravation.

I now enjoy wire soldering. I lack skill and training in soldering, and was very frustrated with my results. With the FX888D, its tip cleaning wire and maintaining the temperature, I now get good results.

Excellent product, exceeded my expectations!!!

What else can i say, works much better than my old ancient weller. Easy to set up and start soldering.
