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

Works exactly as described. Heats fast and seems stable.

This is the best Iron I have yet owned and it perfect for the hobbyist but could easily see this used daily with hard use. The tips and all parts included in the kit are legitimate Hakko and very well made. Theres really very little missing to get you going on even complex projects (flux, wick, tinning, etc. are not really things i would expect in a kit). The really nice things I noticed quickly and still enjoy: fast warmup time, easy to configure and presets, so many great tips, the iron cord is so well made and very flexible yet durable. Next up is the Hakko desoldering gun.

good temp rebound, feels good in hand while working. *read the directions or you will change the calibration rather than the temp on the unit.* Has some preset temps and is full adjustable outside of those temps, and the presets can also be changed. *read the directions or you will change the calibration rather than the temp on the unit*

Bought this to replace an old weller station. Good price with the included tips and works well. Art Vidmar

Awesome soldering station. Heats quickly, reliable, good quality.

Excellent performance at a very affordable price. If youre going to get this soldering station you can save a bit of coin ordering this bundle.

This has made stained glass so much better. This iron is AWESOME

Excellent soldering station, heats up very quickly. I fly electric RC helis and this Hakko FX88D makes for quick work on EC5 connectors and 10 gauge wire. Very easy to use, just read the directions, I love the programmable preset temps. Hakko soldering tips are the best, there is a right one for every job and they are quick and easy to change, and most of them came in this kit that I got. The soldering pencil is just right for me, its an extension of my hand, high quality unit, should last me a long time and it has already had several good work projects under its belt. The extra soldering tips are worth their money, you get a good wide selection of them. The pencil holder has convenient wet sponge and brass tip cleaners, doesnt move around on you. User interface is very easy to use. There is just the power switch and two buttons, no muss no fuss approach. I am very happy with it and already know that wont change.

Temperature is very steady. Comes up quickly and remains stable. The only drawback is the the cord between the station and the iron rest is short, so the station has to stay close by to where you place your soldering iron.

Use this to fix the apple earbuds, works great.
