Description

Reliable digital technology by HAKKO – Introducing the HAKKO FX-888D Excellent thermal recovery Heater output has been increased by 30% compared to that of the conventional models HAKKO 936·937. Also FX-888D delivers excellent thermal recovery by using T18 series tips for their terrific heat conductivity. This allows soldering at a lower set temperature and reducing the thermal impact on components as well as tip oxidation that can shorten tip life. Thermal recovery graph Rise time to 350Degree C is 20 seconds faster and tip temperature drop is reduced during continuous work.

  • This thing is amazing.
I didn't know soldering could be this much fun. If you have never used a nice soldering iron before (like me), this thing is genuinely amazing. Soldering is hard, even with a good soldering iron like this, but the last thing that you want is for some cheap soldering iron to be adding to the inherent difficulty of soldering. This thing does the opposite of that. It makes soldering a lot easier and more fun. That might sound kinda crazy if you haven't used one, but this really makes soldering a lot more pleasant. It heats up very quickly, and maintains it's temperature very exactly. It maintains its temperature so well that even when I spend a bit too long heating something up, it doesn't damage anything. Thanks to the awesome temperature stability, it melts solder amazingly well without oxidizing it too quickly, I didn't know I could make solder joints this nice. I can't properly explain just how nice this thing is. You have to try one. It's just a joy to use. A nice soldering iron like this makes a huge difference, it's night and day versus a cheap soldering iron. The base is very sturdy, the soldering iron itself is comfortable, it comes with a wedge shaped tip standard (which is much better than those needle point tips). I also like how small the whole thing is. It takes up a very minimal amount of desk space which is good if (like me) you don't have much desk space to spare. I personally enjoy the unique colors and design, but I'm sure not everyone will like them. They actually look nicer in person than they do in the pictures. I also enjoy that the soldering iron holder is separate, and it feels like it's made out of metal and some kind of ceramic stuff, it's great. I really can't say enough good things about this. Soldering is still hard, but this thing makes it a lot better. I enjoy using it so much that I actually find myself getting sad when I'm done with something and have nothing else to solder, which never used to happen before. Of course, if you've read anything about these, then you probably know the user interface leaves a bit to be desired. It's even stranger in person than the instructions make it out to be. But that's a minor flaw overall. Once you set it the way you want it, you pretty much don't have to pay attention to that anymore. Still, it'd be nice if in a future version they made a better user interface for this thing. The user interface is its only real flaw. ... show more

  • Very Nice Outfit for even Casual Solderers
I've been soldering for about 55 years and am an electronic hobbyist. In the 50's, I had a Weller "gun". It looked like a gun, had a trigger like a gun and worked fine on radios and TV's that I worked on. As electronics got smaller and more sensitive to overheating, I switched to a Weller or Unger iron. I think one has since bought the other. These irons and 1/8" tiplets served me very well for many years. The only problem was that the tiplet would eventually break and need replacement. They are threaded but it is impossible to get the old one out unless you drill it out. Too much work so I just bought a new heating element and put in a new tiplet. My tiplet broke and I decided to search the internet. Perhaps someone had by now figured out a way to replace the tiplet without drilling. No luck, but I kept seeing replies that essentially said "toss your Unger and get a Hakko soldering station". If you've looked at soldering stations, you will see that prices are all over the place with some too expensive for a simple hobbyist like me. I think you could find something for less but then I don't know if it would be as well rated. So, I purchased this unit. I really don't need precise temperature calibration so I just set the dial in the "middle". The reason that I like temperature regulation is that the the iron heats up extremely fast, about 15 seconds to melt solder. I'm so old that I can't afford to wait 3 to 5 minutes just to solder one joint. Temperature regulation also ensures that the iron won't cool off if you have several joints to solder. I also like the very small handle and very flexible cord. The smaller handle gives you better control when you have to very accurately position the tip. It wasn't clear which tip the unit came with so I ordered a D16 chisel point separately. I was afraid it would come with a pencil tip which I don't like because it's sometimes hard to put enough heat into the joint. It did come with the small chisel tip I prefer so I should have waited to order the extra tip. The two tips will outlast me, I'm sure. Lastly, the base unit comes with a sponge and a metal "cleaning wire" which looks like a cross between a Brillo pad and a wad of metal shavings. This seems to work pretty well. I've always just used paper napkins to remove excess solder and "clean" the tip. This is not a perfect process as sometimes solder goes places where you wish it wouldn't. Like, I have a solder-splash shaped "tatoo" on one foot. The quality of this unit looks very good on the outside. There is an article online which shows how to modify this unit so that the light on front indicates "ON" as well as "Tip Heating". As it is, the light only shows when the tip is heating so one might be concerned about leaving the unit on because there isn't an "ON" light. I won't make this mod because I'm very careful about leaving stuff powered. The point here is that the article gave me a chance to see what the guts of the base unit looked like and it also looks to be of high quality. Soldering is not that hard, but there is a learning curve. I would recommend this unit to beginners as well as experienced solderers because it just makes it more easier to make precision joints where connections are closely spaced and parts are more heat sensitive. If you're just soldering railroad track together, you don't need this. For IC and microprocessor work, this unit will save you time by not having to rework "cold" or bridged joints. ... show more

  • Works great!
I bought this after reading several reviews, and it was a good choice. It gets hot fast, the base is sturdy and solid, and the user manual is clearly written. I haven't messed around with adding extra settings, but you should expect to read the manual if you want to change the temperature. (I just leave it at the default 750.) The manual is well written, but the process of changing settings is not obvious. ... show more

  • This iron heats up fast
This is a very nice middle of the road soldering station that is worth buying. Especially Being a digital controlled soldering station. Even if you are a beginner or an expert in electronics repair. And it comes with everything that you will need ,except for the solder ,to begin your repair work. I use to use a weller Wc-100 soldering station and this is another excellent soldering station. I got 27 years of hassle, free service out of this soldering station before it quit working. So if you were looking for something a little more affordable or cheaper, you could use the Weller WC 100. It should also give you excellent service . ... show more
