I'm a huge fan of the Hakko 936 and have owned 5 of them. All of which were run from opening to closing, 6 days a week for years without a single failure. On a side note: we once got a call from Hakko (I think as a response to an email I sent for some reason); they claimed the brand name rhymes with "taco", rather than "backhoe". I'm still unsure if that's true.

"made in singapore" BS... its probably assembled in singapore, as in most of the parts are already made in china. all the treatment it gets in singapore was, attaching the switch and cord, and placing the components and the electronics in the case, attaching stickers... and pack it in the box with the other stuff. this is how many chinese owned company mark up their prices.. as a singapore citizen and that work in the manufacturing in the a couple years between education/conscription, i seen these kind of stuff, and i realised this is so wrong. usually the company that does these stuff is a very obscure and they set insane production targets.. and pays minimum wage. and they find issues with the workers. and i have the inkling that they are also linked to shady groups

I use a copper pot scrubber cut in 1/4's and shoved in a tin cup as a tip cleaner. They are cheap and plentiful. Covered in flux paste sucks solder like a sponge. Send me the fake one. I'll rebuild it to proper standards with quality parts. I wouldn't pay for one to do this but as a let's see if it can be done is an interesting challenge. I'll snd it back and then compare it to the original. I have more then enough spare parts. I'd even add in the sleep function.

Years ago, I had a Hakko red dot rifle scope that I impulse bought having never heard of the company. It was a nearly identical clone of a super popular and super expensive aimpoint called the " tac point blue ring", and it was absolutely awesome. I unfortunately sold it in a package deal with a rifle, and since then have had the opportunity to use the original Aimpoint device, and without question the Hakko was better. Shoulda never let it go, because now I can't find one for sale anywhere.

I have a Metcal MX-PS5200 dual station that is pretty good. It has both sponges and brass brillo pads for tip cleaning. Heating is via induction (RF coils in the tips themselves). There is very little thermal mass in the small tips, and they come up to temperature in less than 5 seconds. The bit flat blade tips take about 10 seconds. When you put a handle in the base, it goes to "sleep" right away, keeping the tip just warm enough to heat quickly when you remove it. It saves the tip from corroding when the iron is on but not in use. Detection is magnetic rather than gravity powered like the Hakko. The Metcal isn't perfect; you can't adjust the tip temperature, for example. And I had a cable go bad on me--replacing it cost over $100. Hard to say if that is a common problem, but I've only heard of it happening to me. You have to shut the iron all the way off to change a tip, otherwise it gets confused. But powering back up is pretty quick, so that's not a big hit. You can buy it through Louis' Amazon link to put some scratch in his pocket.

Immediately when you set the 2 next to each-other, aside from cosmetic wear, you can see that yours has a dark bezel around where the soldering iron plugs into the front while the "knock-off" doesn't have the bezel, or it isn't as thick as yours. The LCD panel is a different color. Above the iron plug, and under the text just above the plug, yours has what looks like an air-vent while the other doesn't - although looking further they may both have it but your air-vent gap is larger than the other. The switch on top is reversed from yours. Without looking at the cosmetic wear, the colors are much more vivid / deeper on the knock-off. The knock-off seam at the top appears to have a stress mark running along the top while yours doesn't. The seam around the yellow front portion is more pronounced in the knock off versus yours - ie the color is much darker and the change in texture is much wider than yours. The font is different from yours and character spacing is different. The button spacing on the knock-off appears to be slightly wider on the knock-off but that may be my monitor / color issue. The LED bezel is much longer on the bottom on the knock-off than yours, and it has a softer curvature where it terminates when meeting the front-face. The sides are also not as wide as yours but it may be a camera trick. and the plugoral-hood has a a curve to it on the original and it straight across on the knockoff. I still haven't seen the air-vents on the side, the rear of both, the bottom, etc.. but from a first glance, those are the changes I observed.

The downside of these "fake" models is that they try to fake something they are not. This looks like a pretty decent soldering station for beginners and if they had just branded it as an original device and the price is right, I'd love to have one to teach kids how to solder. It has much of the flexibility of the expensive equipment but it lacks the polishing that pro's want. There's definitely a market for this stuff if the price is right without pretending to be an expensive high end brand.

I have one of these but without the fake hakko branding. It does show current temp, you were just in the temp setting mode. I don't unscrew the rubber piece off the iron, just turn it off and pull it out with that little silicon pad. Mine only came with the t12-k tip unfortunately. As a beginner it works a lot better than they crap ones I found locally. The holder base is really annoying though. I wish they had put a bit more effort in it. The key looks like it fit decently snug in yours while mine is super loose and falls out way too easy.

That cheap soldering station was safe, it was all low voltage after the isolation transformer. Pretty solder joints do not make a reliable device, its quality parts/design,.
@Gameboygenius
@Gameboygenius 7 жыл бұрын
Bad solder joints can cause various trouble. A dry solder joint can cause a loose connection. A blob that comes loose can short two connections. Example: If for some reason the control circuitry is missing or misreading the input from the temp sensor because of a fault like that, it could turn the heating element permanently on, which might cause a fire after a few minutes. It's a fallacy that just because something is low voltage, it must be safe. All that means is that you won't get electrocuted. There may still be a fire hazard. That said, I don't think anything in that soldering station was likely to cause that kind of problem.

That solder just looks like it was jizzed all over it by a molten metal monkey. Some points with blobs were half forgivable, but solder bridging over traces, ehhhh.

Louis you have probably answered this question 100x before and if so please direct me to the vid you talk about it. What blend of solder do you use? 63/37, 60/40, or lead free? The reason I ask is because if you are using leaded with temp over 800 you can atomize lead and breath it in.

Agreed, aliexpress and alibaba can be useful and does have certain things that are hard to find. I was referring mostly to all kinds of knockoff FX-951 stations i saw on there. I just chose to send Louis the cheapest clone i could find on there that came with tips since i didn't know if original tips would work with it.

If Louis was knowing what he was doing he would have pulled the key out (as it was on his 'original') THEN it shows the temperature the hole time and beeps when it's ready. Rant about stuff you can't handle is easy.

What he's saying is that if the key was removed on the fake one, it would track actual temperature, and beep when at temperature. Not sure if that is true.

Honestly though for the price of around 70 usd shipped. It's really not that bad. Considering the real deal is $250. What more do you really pay for with 250. The quality control is a bit higher but I think most companies that sell trade tools just overcharge because they can.
