Hakko FX888D ESD Safe Digital Adjustable Temperature Soldering Iron Station
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.

Hakko FX888D ESD Safe Digital Adjustable Temperature Soldering Iron Station
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.

Hakko FX888D ESD Safe Digital Adjustable Temperature Soldering Iron Station
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!

Hakko FX888D ESD Safe Digital Adjustable Temperature Soldering Iron Station
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.

Hakko FX888D ESD Safe Digital Adjustable Temperature Soldering Iron Station
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.

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.

Works great. I’m a soldering noob but I was able to figure it out with this kit. The handle on the Iron is nice to hold and the tip is a good size. Temperature adjustment is simple.

Hakko FX888D ESD Safe Digital Adjustable Temperature Soldering Iron Station
After reading various reviews of the iron I decided to buy one and I was not let down. This has to be one of the fastest irons to heat up in its price range. I didn't time it, but it feels like it's ready in about 15 seconds, which is leaps and bounds over my 28 year old electronics iron's 5 minutes. At its default 750 deg setting and their 5 mil tip it makes quick work of soldering 12 gauge braid to various brass connectors. This is a vary impressive unit.
