So, just picked up a Hakko 888D soldering station for $69 from Fry's Electronics. Screaming deal from what I can gather - Amazon has it for almost $100. Anybody have one of these irons and what are your opinions? All I've ever had has been the cheap $5 and $10 Radio Shack irons, so I have no idea what to expect. I'm hoping it heats up and holds heat well enough to finish re-capping this LCD power board I'm screwing with. |

I've had one for a couple years now I think. Used it for everything from minor electronics repair to building a full-blown synthesizer kit. I have yet to be disappointed by it. |
| Slippyblade:
I wasn't intending on buying an iron today either. I saw the price and it looked good - then looked it up online and realized it was VERY good. |
| yotsuya:
So do you still think it looks like a Fisher Price toy? :-) It's an awesome iron, and I'll never use anything other than that type. |
| Slippyblade:
Yeah - I expect it to have "Little People" stickers on it. When I first saw Hakko gear I had a hard time believing it was real gear. I thought it was like this stuff. |
