Hakko 611-2 Dual Solder Reel Stand, Black

i had the single reel hakko and it was meh. it has some issues which i wish they would have corrected and in this dual version everything except the plastic spools which is not that big of a deal breaker is better. i also love that this version has a handle so when i move to one of my other stations i dont have to now have multiple rolls at every single place i need it like i used to, and the single roll version the rolls basically fall right out if you tilt it, just grab this with the handle and move it where i need it. i ended up buying 4 of these to hold all the variants of solder i normally use. and its quick enough to swap out rolls for the times i use something less common. the setup i had before (and is still in use as i have a TON of various solder rolls) was something i made and it works awesome but is not mobile and mounted to the wall. im going to make something to hold these dual reels and again when i need to grab one and go its easy, the one thing i do wish it had is some kind of tagging system to say what solder is which. i had to use my ptouch brother to make small stickers to mark which is which.

I like this product so much, that I’m going to order another one! It’s a great way to keep solder organized and convenient. It is very well built and should last a long time. I was very surprised at how heavy the steel is. This isn’t cheap sheet metal.

This is handy!

Doesnt take up much space and easy to use

What can I say? It has the weight, easy pull, easy load, robust construction, and choice of 2 wire sizes.

The stand is heavy which is a very good thing because it does not tip over when pulling out fresh solder from a fresh roll. Thin solder can be pulled easily on the supplied plastic spindles, which are easy to remove and replace from the rear. If your solder is breaking youre pulling too fast. Assembly is easy and Hakko includes a exploded view for assembly. If you cant assemble it you probably should not have a hot iron around anyway. I keep it on my workbench, so I cant say anything about the handle other than it has one. It also has a ground screw which is a real bonus for using with a anti static grounding mat. The cheap stuff often uses the word professional when it obviously is not, but the Hakko actually is.

good

I wish I had purchased this a long time ago! It is amazing how much easier a job is when you are not hunting on the bench for a solder spool.

Nice product. Easy to assemble and very strong. I like it very much.

great for storing my solder and keeping it handy.
