Bundle Includes Soldering Station and CHP170 Cutter

Very happy with this soldering station. Heats up fast, maintains temperature well event when used in cool 50 degree inside buildings!

This item is quality! Fast heating fast cooling, great price for a great product! Couldnt be more happy with my purchase!

This is a great soldering iron. Heats up quickly and works well.

As advertised. The transaction was perfect. The soldering iron delivers as promised. Dont hesitate like I did looking for this price point iron. I use if for home electrical repairs, RC hobbies, and the xbox controllers that the kids ware out. The FX-888D is such pleasure to use that I look for projects to do. The nippers they throw in also are of excellent quality.

Used a half-dozen times and Im very pleased. The hand piece is so light you forget that its connected to the base, and the tip comes up to temperature in less than a minute. Now that Ive tried it I cant imagine going back to the old pencil. Granted, the programming interface is obscure, and you have to download the original documentation from the manufacturers website to learn about the more obscure functions, but the most common operation - changing the tip temperature - requires only a couple button presses. If you want to set passwords and stuff itll get pretty thick but thats hardly a day-to-day procedure.

Worked great. Delivery was excellent! Awesome buy. very please with product!

Works great!

This iron is much better than I expected. It is easy to handle and maintains its temperature. It heats very quickly. I recommend it.

Coming from a simple plug it the wall and wait five minutes single- temp Radio Shack Soldering iron, this is light years ahead. First off, This thing heats up in literally seconds, drastically more convenient than other stations, even faster than the analog Weller WLC-100 I use at work. The lead coming from the base is very flexible and relaxed in no time after unboxing, so you never feel like youre fighting the cord to hold the iron how you want. The iron holder is very sturdy despite being quite light, and is very easy to take apart and clean. Tip change is tool-less and easy, and the pre-installed chisel tip it comes with has held up very well so far, but I follow Louis Rossmans guide to tip maintenance: wet the tip with fresh solder after almost every joint, and only use the brass wool, never the sponge to clean the iron. You wouldnt put cold water on a 700 degree frying pan would you? No, cause it will warp or crack, just like your soldering iron tip. Anyway, my only complaint, as someone who does a lot of de- soldering, scrapping, through- hole and SMD re- flowing is that on this digital unit, its a little cumbersome to change the temperature. Not complicated by any means, but it takes more time than say, a knob would. As an aside, the bundled clippers are great too. Very prcise, sharp, and comfortable to hold and use.

I grabbed this for hobby r/c soldering after my cheapo Hobbyking solder station died. Im notoriously cheap but decided to splurge on this little unit as not being able to reliably solder means I miss a nice weekend of r/c flying. People are serious when they tell you to just get a Hako. It heats up fast, holds heat amazingly well, and fits the hand perfect. Just last night I soldered 10gauge battery cables, so its plenty capable. My average soldering time has decreased by so much that Im actually out of stuff to hook up.
