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

Had I known just how good this iron was going to be I wouldn’t have wasted my time with so many cheaper substitutes. Best advice I can give to my ‘past self’ in the future? “Don’t waste you money on the $25–$45 units. Save a little more money and splurge here. You’re welcome, self.” As a model aviation and audio electronics professional who solders multiple projects per week, this iron has already saved me cumulative days of ‘waiting for the iron to get to temp,’ as well as dozens (if not hundreds) cold solder joints averted. High-end unit at an affordable cost. Do it. Buy it. Three, two, one, buy it.

As described. Well packaged, and the difference of using this iron versus the typical $15-$25 units is amazing. I did a lot of pondering before deciding to get this particular model and the Hakko brand. I was not disappointed. Excellent quality, and worked perfect out of the box.

A useful tool at a good price. Works well.

This soldering Iron from Hakko is made from high quality components and the control system delivers heat at a consistent temperature. Because of the high quality of the materials used by Hakko, oxidation of the tip and contamination of solder joints just doesnt happen when using this iron(At least not picking up gunk on the tip). Replacement tips and parts are all inspected and stamped with various insurance lab approvals so you can maintain this soldering iron indefinitely at factory new condition. Ive been working with electrical engineering products for 30 years, Hakko is one of the finest companies Ive ever come across.

Very good hobby station.

I have bought and thrown away many soldering irons over the years. The plan was always to save money but would have saved money if I just got the Hakko soldering station. It heats up in 30 seconds and I could not be happier.

This is the professional soldiering set-up hands down.

Temperature control and display may be a little more improved . Programmable temperature buttons will be helpful too.

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.

Best soldering system I have ever used.
