Re: soldering station
I have a similar one and the one you linked to may be made by the same company then private labeled.
The one I have is a Hakko 936 (discontinued) and works well for everything from boards to batteries.

Re: soldering station
I have that exact same model. Best money I have spent, makes a huge difference when soldering.

Re: soldering station
Yea. I want to order one and just thought to check/ask
It seems to be about half price of some of the name brand American stations. I have grown tired of cheap irons that seem to have poor duration. Every few yrs I end up with a new cheap iron so thought to try something a bit better. Thanks guys |

Re: soldering station
One thing I will suggest is to get a few different tips for it. Everything from a broad chisel to a fine point tip. Also, always cover the tip with some solder when you're done to help prevent the tip from corroding.

Re: soldering station
Hmm, I wonder if Hakko tips will fit? I have over 10 different tips for mine.

Re: soldering station
I see HK now carries the brass filing for tip clean up. Works way better then the sponge, way better.

Re: soldering station
When buying a good soldering station it is valid to consider whether tips will be available for many years to come since the soldering station can serve you well for many years. If you can no longer buy tips, you will need to buy a new station. I got burned this way once, so I bought a big name station.
