"made in singapore" BS... its probably assembled in singapore, as in most of the parts are already made in china. all the treatment it gets in singapore was, attaching the switch and cord, and placing the components and the electronics in the case, attaching stickers... and pack it in the box with the other stuff. this is how many chinese owned company mark up their prices.. as a singapore citizen and that work in the manufacturing in the a couple years between education/conscription, i seen these kind of stuff, and i realised this is so wrong. usually the company that does these stuff is a very obscure and they set insane production targets.. and pays minimum wage. and they find issues with the workers. and i have the inkling that they are also linked to shady groups

@DarthAwar 5 лет назад

They do it not to make more profit but as a semi-legal way of getting their millions if not billions of dollars out of china! (Yes I know their money is the Wan but I do not know how to convert dollars to Wan Values!)

If you didn't know. The standards are if you build the product in China to 90% and ship it to Singapore to finish it up... it will still count as a Made in Singapore product. It's really misleading but it is what it is.

@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff 4 года назад

I'm a huge fan of the Hakko 936 and have owned 5 of them. All of which were run from opening to closing, 6 days a week for years without a single failure. On a side note: we once got a call from Hakko (I think as a response to an email I sent for some reason); they claimed the brand name rhymes with "taco", rather than "backhoe". I'm still unsure if that's true.

@redfoxymoon 7 лет назад

I bought a 936 clone on Ebay, and it works amazingly well, imo. no problems with it

@nouseformyname3788 3 года назад

Years ago, I had a Hakko red dot rifle scope that I impulse bought having never heard of the company. It was a nearly identical clone of a super popular and super expensive aimpoint called the " tac point blue ring", and it was absolutely awesome. I unfortunately sold it in a package deal with a rifle, and since then have had the opportunity to use the original Aimpoint device, and without question the Hakko was better. Shoulda never let it go, because now I can't find one for sale anywhere.

@DJsMinecraftNess 7 лет назад

Reminds me of an AvE boltr. haven't watched far enough but if you took both apart I'm sure that the real one is made with a better plastic, maybe glass fiber reinforced too. The fake is probably made of abs plastic.

@richard-mai 3 года назад

What's going to be the standard size/shape tip for general use? The FX951 on Amazon that comes with one tip uses a D16, but the bundle that comes with 5 tips comes with D08, D12, D24, D32 and D52. I believe I read that the FX888D uses a D16 by default. I think my old workplace used a D24 for soldering 22AWG stranded wire together but I can't really remember if it was that big, or if it just looked that big while tinned. Or would you even recommend going up to a D32? Which two or three chisel tips would you recommend? I was thinking the D12, D16, and D24. I'll probably only play around with computer keyboard PCBs, RC cars, and electric guitar wiring. Do you think a D08 is too small? Thanks!

@ztoob8898 5 лет назад

The best lead-trimming cutters I have found: Lindstrom Rx 8132. I got some on clearance from Techni-Tool. I wish I had bought more than one pair, 'cause they're expensive suckers. But they're really, really good.

@chefexcellence9841 5 лет назад

i like to use the sponge that came with my fx888 along with the metal mesh. i find the the mesh will take away large beads of solder, while with the sponge, you roll and pull away and it cleans off all the tiny left over bits of the sponge. it leaves me with a completely bare tip.

@JesseCombsTwiZtedCheese 7 лет назад

@poptartmcjelly7054 7 лет назад

Louis, if you want to get rid of that station you know who to send it to. *winks furiously*

@ztoob8898 5 лет назад

I have a Metcal MX-PS5200 dual station that is pretty good. It has both sponges and brass brillo pads for tip cleaning. Heating is via induction (RF coils in the tips themselves). There is very little thermal mass in the small tips, and they come up to temperature in less than 5 seconds. The bit flat blade tips take about 10 seconds. When you put a handle in the base, it goes to "sleep" right away, keeping the tip just warm enough to heat quickly when you remove it. It saves the tip from corroding when the iron is on but not in use. Detection is magnetic rather than gravity powered like the Hakko. The Metcal isn't perfect; you can't adjust the tip temperature, for example. And I had a cable go bad on me--replacing it cost over $100. Hard to say if that is a common problem, but I've only heard of it happening to me. You have to shut the iron all the way off to change a tip, otherwise it gets confused. But powering back up is pretty quick, so that's not a big hit. You can buy it through Louis' Amazon link to put some scratch in his pocket.

@Mr.Unacceptable 6 лет назад

I use a copper pot scrubber cut in 1/4's and shoved in a tin cup as a tip cleaner. They are cheap and plentiful. Covered in flux paste sucks solder like a sponge. Send me the fake one. I'll rebuild it to proper standards with quality parts. I wouldn't pay for one to do this but as a let's see if it can be done is an interesting challenge. I'll snd it back and then compare it to the original. I have more then enough spare parts. I'd even add in the sleep function.

Looking at the quality of the soldering done to construct a knock-off soldering iron LOL. Oh and BTW, the shorted terminals and globs of solder everywhere were really horrifying. Imagine if it shorted during use or even worse shorted at night randomly.

@timstech5508 7 лет назад

@esenel92 6 лет назад

The downside of these "fake" models is that they try to fake something they are not. This looks like a pretty decent soldering station for beginners and if they had just branded it as an original device and the price is right, I'd love to have one to teach kids how to solder. It has much of the flexibility of the expensive equipment but it lacks the polishing that pro's want. There's definitely a market for this stuff if the price is right without pretending to be an expensive high end brand.

@Acecool 6 лет назад

Immediately when you set the 2 next to each-other, aside from cosmetic wear, you can see that yours has a dark bezel around where the soldering iron plugs into the front while the "knock-off" doesn't have the bezel, or it isn't as thick as yours. The LCD panel is a different color. Above the iron plug, and under the text just above the plug, yours has what looks like an air-vent while the other doesn't - although looking further they may both have it but your air-vent gap is larger than the other. The switch on top is reversed from yours. Without looking at the cosmetic wear, the colors are much more vivid / deeper on the knock-off. The knock-off seam at the top appears to have a stress mark running along the top while yours doesn't. The seam around the yellow front portion is more pronounced in the knock off versus yours - ie the color is much darker and the change in texture is much wider than yours. The font is different from yours and character spacing is different. The button spacing on the knock-off appears to be slightly wider on the knock-off but that may be my monitor / color issue. The LED bezel is much longer on the bottom on the knock-off than yours, and it has a softer curvature where it terminates when meeting the front-face. The sides are also not as wide as yours but it may be a camera trick. and the plugoral-hood has a a curve to it on the original and it straight across on the knockoff. I still haven't seen the air-vents on the side, the rear of both, the bottom, etc.. but from a first glance, those are the changes I observed.

Louis you have probably answered this question 100x before and if so please direct me to the vid you talk about it. What blend of solder do you use? 63/37, 60/40, or lead free? The reason I ask is because if you are using leaded with temp over 800 you can atomize lead and breath it in.
