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

Great unit, and the best bang for the bucks if chisel-tips is your thing. YMMV, but for almost all soldering tasks (including smd), chisel tips will be easier to use than cones.

Cost more than other irons on the market and you get less goodies but the bottom line is there is no substitute for the best and that is what you are getting with this Hakko temp is stable and fast never too hot or too cold verified by my fluke meter and temp sensor, no matter the load you put on it the processor will keep the temp stable

Convenient soldering iron holder separate from the temperature control unit makes it easy to move the iron around the work space. Temperature control greatly improved my solder joints.

Great product, crappy manual.

Why didnt I buy this years ago! Seriously! I have a fair collection of irons, single wattage, switch selectable, etc. all from big box or Radio Shack. Now, Ive been soldering since I was around 4-5 (dad worked in repairs) I can honestly say Ive never had it so good.

This is a big upgrade from my old soldering iron. Well made nice cord and heats up quick.and nice to set preset heat adjustment s

I received the wrong tip. I think the description as well as the images it showed it included a T18-S3 tip, but I received a T18-S7. I need to exchange this for the correct tip.

After several online reviews and tutorials product worked great. Download full instruction sheet from Hakko though one in the box leaves out a few things. I know have it set up how I want it. Great solder 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.

heats up quick. I will never go back to a cheap soldering pen. My solder jobs are faster easier and look much better.
