Bundle Includes Soldering Station and CHP170 Cutter

As advertised. The transaction was perfect. The soldering iron delivers as promised. Dont hesitate like I did looking for this price point iron. I use if for home electrical repairs, RC hobbies, and the xbox controllers that the kids ware out. The FX-888D is such pleasure to use that I look for projects to do. The nippers they throw in also are of excellent quality.

My first soldering station. I read other reviews about complicated temp adjustments and found it pretty intuitive. I just use the enter and up and down buttons and haven`t bothered with any presets yet. The iron heats up to any temperature in a matter of seconds. The iron rest is heavy enough for safe and secure support. I don`t think I could have done any better price or quality wise especially considering it`s my first soldering station.

I am very happy with my purchase of this iron I ordered a cheaper one and after the first use it was useless and ended up ordering this as its highly recommend for hobby soldering electronics. The cutters are absolutely amazing for small cutting around circuit boards.

Great soldering station - better than any other Ive had before

Im sure there are a lot of nit picking things for solder ninjas. And all of that seems totally legit. I admit that the accidental calibration issue is real - I did it and had to Google to find out how to reset (turn on while holding both buttons, then select U for the US). But - this review is not for solder ninjas - this review is for people like me. If you have a long history (and a drawer full) of crappy radio hut soldering irons - and have never been satisfied with your soldering experience - this iron will blow your mind. I agonized over spending this much for a soldering, but when I add up all my crappy ones, they were more than just getting a good one. It is super light, heats super fast, stays hot, and the tip is small enough for delicate work and powerful enough to easily solder heavy gauge RC battery wires. There are probably cheaper irons that are just as good for novices like me - but this thing is awesome.

I love Hakko Products been using them for years with fantastic results!

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.

I love this thing. It heats up to 750 degrees in 40 seconds and keeps a nice even heat. The tip is small and precise but not too small. I use it mostly for tinkering with various electronic and wiring projects.

Moving up from my cheapo barebones soldering iron (purchased 25 years ago at Radio Shack) to this was a HUGE step up. Good temperature control, fast heat-up, plus Hakko makes really nice tips. Comfortable in the hand, fairly intuitive controls. Manual could be expanded, but covers the basics.

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