Bundle Includes Soldering Station and CHP170 Cutter

Great product. I Highly recommend it

Cant get a better iron for the price. Very high quality. I have had no problems doing pin point soldering, bigger projects or desoldering right out of the box.

It head in 5 second from OFF to 450 Fahrenheit. You cannot beat the quality at this price. Best for hobbyist.

If youre a newbie to electronics save yourself a lot of grief and frustration and spend the dollars for this ultra killer soldering station. After suffering through a few cheap irons I broke down and got this unit - and Ill never regret it! Keep your sanity and get this unit.

I love this iron. Its solid, dependable, has a nice easy to read temperature display, its easy to set it to the precise temperature you want...who could ask for more? Skip the cheapie $15 direct plugged iron youd get from the nearest electronic store, and get one of these, and youll have an easy to use iron for life. Definitely recommended.

I recommend to buy this product. Im using it from last 3-4 month and its working great.

excellent device

I like these units. I bought two of them. One of the cheapest from Hakko. We use Hakko a lot at work, but the more expensive models. One thing that I miss about the bigger units, is power. Sometime I find my self using both irons on one side of a given component, specially on PCBs that are multi layer and with a lot of copper. Another advantage from the other type of units sold by hakko, is that the tips for this unit are not very expensive. Like 4USD vs 15USD of the ones that have the heating element with the tip. But because this unit does not have the sleep functionality you need to be very careful of not leaving the iron on or you will spend more on tips. I would definitively recommend this for small to medium projects. But their higher wattage units, the ones with interchangable tips, rule for more mass intensive jobs.

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. :)

Great little station. Use it for all my pcb building needs. I also love the included cutters.
