I decided it was time to buy myself a better soldering station......and this is what I ended up with. I'm really interested to hear what the techs think of it. It gets great reviews. Warm-up time is incredible! It takes aprox. 10 seconds to go from off to 750 F. I'm used to turning it on and waiting 5 or 10 minutes to start soldering. Feels great in the hand too.
I think my son-in-law has the same or similar model of HAKKO. He did a lot of soldering with my old station (45 aging watts) during a visit in June and he certainly missed his HAKKO.
I bought one of those cheap Chinese knock-offs of the Hakko 936 a few years ago. It works quite well for my limited use and still going strong. Much better than my old radio shack pencil. It was about $29 all in, like this one.
I have the Hakko FX888 as well. Bought it 4 or 5 years ago. It’s an amazing little soldering station.
