Bundle Includes Soldering Station and CHP170 Cutter

Very good pro grade iron. I kept getting a slight static shock from the handle, until I wrapped it in painters tape. I dont like that I had to read the manual to learn how to adjust the temperate (it should be obvious). If it broke, I like it enough Id get another without considering any alternatives. Heats up fast, quality construction, and works great.

I love this iron. Its solid, dependable, has a nice easy to read temperature display, its easy to set it to the precise temperature you want...who could ask for more? Skip the cheapie $15 direct plugged iron youd get from the nearest electronic store, and get one of these, and youll have an easy to use iron for life. Definitely recommended.

Ive been wanting a good temp-control soldering station for a long time and when my antique Ungar Princess pencil finally got too old and feeble to melt the solder anymore, I jumped on this on, mostly due to their reputation for quality and the good price. Have used it a couple of times and am very impressed. I generally leave my iron cooking when Im working because it takes too long to warm up from cold. As a result, I frequently forget and leave it on when I souldnt. At best I have to hack off the oxide build-up and re-tin it the next day. At worst I burn down the house. This baby goes from room temperature to 750 degrees in about 30 seconds. Problem solved. Digital temperature setting and readout, up to five stored preset temps, interchangeable tips and a reasonable price. Whats not to like? Well, the instructions could be better. The instructions for mode changing are incomplete in the printed manual that came with the product - go to the Hakko website and download a current manual which clarifys. (When you get frustrated trying to get a mode change to stick, set it as instructed, then hold the Enter button down for 2 seconds, until the Y for yeas appears, then hit enter again.) Nonetheless, I still recommend the unit.

Great station for the money. I havent put a lot of time on it yet, but it heats up REALLY quickly, holds temp well, and is comfortable to use. Programming is pretty easy if you read through the instructions.

authentic Hakko station, runs well, you have to go online to download manual to access and configure the presets. Comes with medium chisel tip, good for most jobs..I also ordered authentic Hakko tips. Grew up using Weller gun, then a single heat pencil unit....this is the Cadillac compared to what I am used to..love it

Such an improvement from what I had I should have bought it much sooner.

Works great. This is the nicest soldering iron I have ever used.

Exactly what I was looking for.

I LOVE this thing. I started with a RadioShack 40w iron..man I had a time. Switched to this thing and its AWESOME. On and off time on the connection is way faster, and if you have to move to something else..you can shut it off (tin the tip of course) and turn it back on..it literally gets up to full operating temp in a minute..yes..from off to 800°(if thats where you have it set) in a minute. Great tip life and excellent construction and the price is unbeatable. A great tip selection and unbeatable tip life.

Mechanically - its an amazing soldering station but the 2-button electronic control is really idiotic. It is so idiotic I removed 2 stars because of it.
