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

I have done several jobs, and its still going. unlike other products that have stopped working after first job.

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.

I have used and abused this thing. Tips are as good as the day they arrived and it heats up quickly.

This is an outstanding soldering station. Nothing in this price range can touch it for value and performance. I use it primarily for model railroading but it is equally well suited to electronics soldering. The variety of tips provides an unusual range of flexibility. The ability to dial in your desired tip temperature is a huge time and cost saver. No more botched soldering jobs and damaged items from a too low or too high temperature. I would definitely recommend this to anyone needing a soldering station or desiring to upgrade from a standard soldering iron.

Worth every penny. The micro sized tips have really helped me especially when soldering tiny leads onto a flight board for my RC quadcopter. This is the best soldering station Ive ever owned and I have been through many many irons in the past. If you do solder larger items like NiMh battery cells I do however suggest you get a monster of an iron such as an 80w Weller or better. This is a precision station and may not have quite the residual heat capacity needed for battery cells.

Unit worked fine for two years of minimal use, maybe 40 hours total, then it stopped working.

Just like many of the other reviews, I also love this iron. This well put together kit will have you prepared for most soldering and desoldering projects.

Right tool right job!!!!!!!

After years of piddling with hardware store and Radio Shack junky irons this is a blessing! I wouldnt change a thing. I just wish I hadnt waited forty+ years to buy one.

If you dont have one of these you need one
