Digital Soldering Station with Chisel Tip Pack T18-D08/D12/D24/D32/S3

This is the best soldering system money can buy!! Heats up quickly and does the job fast!!

My first Hakko was dead on arrival. When I turned it on, I got the error h-E. After a lot of digging online, I found an obscure reference to that message pertaining to the failure of the heating element. It didnt seem very common, so I returned the iron and got a replacement. The replacement worked fine with very intermittent usage over the course of a few months. However, I needed to use the iron for a remote task recently. I put it in my toolbox along with some other tools. Upon reaching my destination and firing up the iron, I got the h-E message again! I was left without the main tool I needed for the task on that Sunday. Left with few options, I went to Home Depot and picked up a cheap Weller. Lo and behold, the Weller got the job done, and the Hakko is out of commission again. During the ~5 times that I was able to use the Hakko, I enjoyed its functionality. It just appears very delicate in my case. I wanted to love this well-respected iron, but Im left with a dud yet again.

When I was young and into electronics, I hated soldering. The Radio Shack soldering iron I had was a royal pain to use. It was always too hot or too cold... The Hakko is an absolute joy. Set it for the appropriate temperature, and youre off to the races. It works great, its comfortable, and this kit comes with a range of tips for almost any job. The included stand is very high quality. For a home hobbyist, this is a great unit.

This product is as advertised.

Love this baby. Only had to change the transformer cause i live in Europe, but this was childs play :) Performs perfectly :X

Bad ass soldier station

I havent put this unit through a major use test but it definitely blows any other cheap pencil solder iron that Ive tried to use in the past. I have only used one tip so far and thats the default one that comes with it but I can see that all the other tips are hakko branded so I dont think Ill have any issues with them. Love the metal solder tip cleaner and though it comes with a sponge cleaner I havent used it yet as I prefer the other. I have seen friends with cheaper models that come mostly with conical tips.(smh) They might work but they dont look as sturdy or as trustworthy as the packaging that holds this solder iron station together. My advice is to start with a Hakko and then buy a cheaper brand and just keep it around as a backup. I think the price was affordable for the work you get out of if for sure. It took a little longer to receive it but it was worth the wait. I think that is because it come factory direct. Great shipping packaging. No issues with it at all. If I had to I would definitely purchase this item from this seller again.

Just does the job. Better than the random junk you can get at the hardware store. Missing Radio Shack these days..

Just cant go wrong with a Hakko. The first time you use a temperature controlled iron, youll wonder how you ever worked with a single-wattage iron or a cheaper adjustable wattage iron. Consistent solder joints are a breeze.
