Goes from room temp to 750* in about 20 seconds. With the combination of 70 W of power and a 5.2 mm tip, no factory ESC connection can stand up to it. I had a Viper that I could not get wires loose with my old 936, but the 888 cut it loose in a couple of seconds. Well worth the price.
Watch youtube reviews first then buy from www.amain.com........ "heats up in seconds" no joke!
this thing is awesome. heats up in seconds. AAAAAA+++++++++
This is the best solder station I have ever used. Iron heats up in about 1 min flat to a temp of 750 deg F. Makes very quick work of soldering motor tabs. Comes with everything you need to be a soldering pro, might want to add a large flat tip if you do a lot of motor tabs though, stock tip has more of a point than a chisel edge. This station is worth every penny. If you don't get one now, you will later once you grow tired of losing races to junk solder jobs.
Love my Hakko gets up to temp super quick. Stays there and the gold wire and sponge to clean the tip is great
Probably the single best tool purchase I've made in a long time. A must have if you're going to be in this hobby for a while. Less than 15 minutes after it arrived, I broke the JST connector wire on a really small SciSky FC board. I used this to repair it in short order, and I was impressed with how well it worked. Having a quality iron is invaluable. I should have bought this years ago!
Incredible! Love it! Since I started in RC I had my original Radio Shack soldering iron until now,and it worked just okay. I read the reviews and hit the buy button on this one figured this will be the last soldering iron I’ll every buy. Got the spare larger tip also and used it just now to solder the motor wires on my B6.1.
This heats up fast and is easy to use. I bought a larger 3.2mm tip for it and have not been disappointed. The Hakko holds heat well and makes everything you solder much easier. The equipment is built well, This will last you for many years to come no doubt about it.
Very Good Product.. Easy to use. This will come in handy..
Used the Soldering station this past weekend to fix two drones. Got some different tip sizes and it worked fantastic. Really like how quickly it gets to 750 and how good it is at melting the solder on just one small touch. Great investment and it works just great.
Heats up quick and is very well built and worth the money .By far best soldering iron I have used and you can lower or raise temp to what you want or need ..
Love it.. Heats up fast.. Easy to use.. Compact and very well built.
Awesome solder station and easy to use. Gets up to temperature very quickly to what you set it at.
If your thinking you hate to solder or your not very good at it, get this HAKKO. Shiny joints for me now. And fast too. I needed to use it two days after it arrived and the difference in the time the job took versus my old iron was ridiculous. Consider it done. I’m very happy with it, thanks again AMAIN!
Best Soldering Station a ever bought, previously i bought from the competition brand and i can tell that working at my comfort temperature setting the temperature is off, on the other hand the Hakko is precise on the temperature good quality soldering station and it feel comfortable in the hand while working
Hakko is pricey but is well worth it!
Bought this because I had it before when I was racing 10th scale buggy’s. Now I’m building Fpv drones and I need a really good iron, this my goto station.
The Hakko soldering station works great and was delivered when promised.
product works great. heats up in seconds. this would be the last solder iron you ever buy.
Can’t wait to get this in hence why I haven’t rated yet do to a mishap with multi packaging on UPS part. Amain hobbies has been absolutely nothing but professional and amazing to work with. On the other hand tho I do not think I will ever use ups again if I can avoid. I just have so many issues with UPS I think I’ll be going through fed ex or usps from now on. But thank you amain hobbies for being such an amazing place to shop. I will edit this review upon receiving the product and re rate the product. EDIT. I’ve received my soldering iron and could not be happier I haven’t soldered since high school and the hakko made me feel like a pro what a fantastic product. Oh and want by insanely fast shipping and some of the best and professional service for this hobby we all love Amain hobbies should be your first stop.
so far he loves it, has not used it yet though, he was shocked and childish when he saw the stickers
