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

I really like the Digital Soldering Station with Chisel Tip Pack I would recommended it, this works as it should

Great Solder station

Best unit there is for the money. Totally worth it versus the other crap that is out there. And if you need a shrink wrap blower, you can get one for $20. No need to buy one of those all in one units.

I have used Weller products exclusively since 1973 so making a switch to a Hakko was a big change for me. Any concerns I may have had were unfounded as this is a workhorse of a soldering station. I would buy this again.

Would never recommend another Soldering Station to somone just starting on electronics. Just get this and and you will not be upset later...

Been using this iron for small projects for the past couple of years, and recently noticed that it will not heat over 520 degrees (F) anymore. Changed the tips, and inspecting all the parts like the manual suggests and it just does not seem to heat hotter than that. Its a hobby so it only gets used a few times a year, and I expected this to basically last me for many many years with the usage I had in mind. A little sad that it seems to be having issues.

I was going back and forth between Hakko, Weller, and a couple of Chinese made ones. The unit arrived quickly, packed well from B+D Enterprises. The first time I used it it worked great, heated in a minute or so. The second time not so much. I called B+D and told them my issue, they offered to ship me a new unit immediately. I wanted to work through the set up just to be sure it wasnt me (in the end it was) they gave me the reset instructions. I worked through those the next day. It was better but not prefect, so I called Hakko. The customer support rep told me the same reset instructions, and that the oxidation on the tip would cause issues the tip needed to be perfectly clean (same on all manufactures units). They also took my number, then next day the Ops manager for north America called me and gave me his cell number, email, and walked me through getting a good temp reading on the tip. The issue was the oxidation and the fact I was measuring temperature with a thermocouple touching the tip and not in a small pool of solder. (search solder tip temperature tester on amazon) Bottom line the unit works great, I have no worries that I will not get support if there is an issue (apparently there is only one repair guy on the east cost as the units dont go down), and I would do business with B+D anytime. I have use this unit to de-solderer heavy components from a board, and re-solder connectors on Iphone cables. Heavy to light this station works great.

super product

Top of the line soldering station.

Purchased primarily for circuit board and electronic equipment use. My unit came with additional tips which I recommend. When used in my radio hobby some components in kits are very close to each other. It is really nice to be able to adjust the tip temperature to ensure good solder flow without damaging adjacent components. With the right tip this unit will work well with surface mount components and fairly heavy gauge wire, such as twelve gauge. I give this unit five stars for value because, although not inexpensive, it will prove its worth in many applications and is very well constructed. Before settling for a cheaper iron, save your nickles and dimes and get this unit. You will thank yourself every time you use it.
