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

Gives you the illusion you can change the temperature. Take a thermal meter to it. It does not very temp, and barely will melt bigger solder joints,even with bigger tips. Maybe I got a defective unit. But dont waste your money.

Get it.

Since my previous review was rejected by a robot that doesnt understand slang superlatives let me try this again: I owned one if those orange Weller units for years, this *edit* is far superior *end edit*. The only knock on it is the toy-like color scheme, which I addressed with a custom cut vinyl sticker. Some Kester 63/37 solder and this unit and you cover a lot of soldering...

Good so far! Very well pleased with this purchase. Should do everything and more that I need it to.

Use this to fix the apple earbuds, works great.

Not as nice as my Metcals BUT this was significantly less expensive.

Extremely good iron. I use it at work every day and is very consistent heats up fast and very durable. I have had this iron for 2.5 years now. Worth every penny.

Great product works great

It heats up quickly and does far better than my cheaper unit. Save time and money and spent the money on this one. It is solid, workable and easy to use.

Ive found that this goes great with the quadhands soldering platform (with magnetic flexible arms.) I can sandwich the iron base between the magnetic arms and virtuality negate any worries of tipping the iron holder over and burning the house down. A spool of solder wire slipped over one of the flex arms and youve got a fantastically compact, sturdy and customizable setup. With four extra hands to boot! Just take care of your tips, especially the smaller ones. Ive found that Tip Tinner is a nice addition to my setup. Ive got a tin adhered to the base of my quadhands station and I think Ive been able to extend the lifespan of my tips using that stuff. I recommend taking a look at those products no matter what iron you own.
