Hakko FX888D,T18-B,BL,I,D24,D32,C05,S7,599-029 Soldering Station with T18-B/BL/I/D24/D32/C05/S7/599-029

Was ok until I ran into a ground-plane. This thing is just anemic (or defective). It reflowed the solder on all of the .025 pins in a 4-layer circuit board. One of the pins is connected to a ground plane. This soldering iron will not melt this tiny pool of solder for that one pin. Very disappointed. Good for tiny soldering jobs. Useless for anything that requires any wattage. UPDATE: Have not heard from Hakko support. Too bad. UPDATE 3-4-2020: Still have not heard from Hakko support. I wish I could return this thing. Complete waste of money. My $20 Weller stick solderer is much better than this. UPDATE 2-26-2021: Still nothing from Hakko support. Useless device. HELLO!?

this package is great! I am just a garage hobbyist and this is amazing soldering station. I have an older weller station that is about 11 yrs old. this one works great also but no digital display or features, just a numbered knob.

Works exactly as described. Heats fast and seems stable.

The system has been good for 4 uses over 6 months and then the power switch stuck in the on position. It was not abused in any fashion as I am a technical representative for a very prestigious aviation company using the equipment for basic wire/ terminal soldering. I cannot find contact links/ numbers to reach out for repair assistance.

Nice and easy to use. Pretty precise.

I have to say this soldering station is outstanding, you have total control of the temperature , which is very important when you need to have when soldering very sensitive electronics . I give this product AAAAA++++

Great Product, Quality, makes soldering extremely easy & precise.

Got this for my husband. He loves it. He says his soldering seams come out so much cleaner.

So recently i had a need to upgrade my soldering iron due to a need for an adjustable temp iron that was a lot more precise than my standard radio shack soldering iron. ive been using craftsman and radio shack irons for years now for all of my guitar and amp repairs but lately ive begun building microphone preamps and the circuit boards are more sensitve to excess heat and the capacitors are tiny so i didnt want to use the typicl large tipped cheaper iron i was accustomed to. i always was tired of using the little metal stand and having the regular soldering iron fall over and touch other objects when at rest. i also was a bit tired of the 15 minute warm up that cheaper irons have. i read some reviews on google and here on amazon and opted o buy this iron that came with the multiple tips for the 119.00. when i opened the packed i was a bit surprised that it came with so many of their optional tips. Three of these tips were priced between 8-11.00 a piece and i almost purchased them separatley when i added the same soldering station at 109.00 that included the cutters. i really wanted the little bent fine tip and the tiny bevel tip and both were already in the box! if you consider this whole kit was 120.00 and the extra tips alone are like 50.00 or more dollars, this is an incredible deal. I didnt need the cutters anyway that the other package deal had. the soldering station itself is nice and rugged and extremely well made it seems. It took less than 1 minute to set it up and after turning it on, it hit the preset 750 degrees in less than 20 seconds or so! WOW!..thats a big difference over the extensive warming up period of my cheaper iron. The soldering iron itself fits nicl into the holder and within seconds I had the cleaning brush and sponge in place and was testing it out. I was even surprised o find hat the little sponge hat sits in the bottom of the station for cleaning the tip was pre moistened! I made a few quick solders and immediately regretted not purchasing this way sooner. Especially considering I have spent nearly 100.00 already on multiple cheaper irons and supplies. You can set temparature presets that can be recalled if needed but honestly i really didnt care much about those features. i was simply looking for a stabile temperature reading during the soldering, a super fast warm up and cool down and a good amoun of optional tips. It was better than expected in all of these catagories. I have not spent a lo of time working with the station yet but definitely long enough to know that it it exactly what I was hoping for. Do not think twice about the 120.00 dollars for this station. You will not regret it!

You cant go wrong with this soldering station. No bells & whistles or flashy screens. Just solders and does it very well, as advertised.
