New soldering station

(1/4) > >>

johnsonad:
My Hakko 936 soldering station finally died.  It was a good station but has been discontinued. After some research, I settled on the Hakko FX-951. It's an upgraded station but at a lower price then comparable stations.  It also had great reviews from folks that solder for a profession. It's more station than I need but should be supported for years to come.

"It's more station than I need..."

What the #@LL does that mean!  I don't understand the point you appear to  be making!   ;)

Cheers,
Geary

Translated, for the work I do, a station at a third of the price would do the same.

The tip selection for this station is amazing.  Plenty of the right tool for the job options.

mcandmar:
Looks like a nice bit of kit.  I have the lower model FX-888D and as you say, more station than i need..

Paul Birkeland:
I saw lots of the FX-888 stations in some Nasa videos and also decided that would be adequate for my need.  Other than it being way too easy to adjust the calibration rather than the tip temperature, it's a good station.
