Hakko Wijzerplaat type temperatuur limiting soldering ijzer FX600 (Japanse import)

コテ先を所望の高温に安定して維持できる。それだけで、細かい部分の作業がこんなにも簡単になるのかと驚いた。ハンダがさらっと溶けて、魔法のようにくっつく感覚余りに気に入ったので、カバ－やコテ台まで同じメーカで買い増して揃えてしまいました。価格が一回り上の、電源が入らない中華製のコードレスのコテを返品後に購入。

Funciona perfecto

I ordered this iron as an upgrade to my Sparkfun 937b soldering station. I wanted something more compact yet more powerful, while also more durable. The wand for my 937b would sometimes start to flex if I was applying a little but of pressure to get solid contact between the tip and the work. I wasn't overdoing it, it's just that once the plastic wand would heat up it would start to be less rigid.To begin this Hakko iron is extremely durable. It is very well built. It's very rigid and you can tell from the hardware and fittings that it's meant for steady work and can take heavy use if needed. Also, don't let the nominal 50W power rating fool you. That is the wattage you get if you use the Japanese 100v electrical system. Here in North America where we use 120v this iron runs at 74W. Check the excerpt from the manual I've attached to the review. 74 watts is plenty of power for large jobs like soldering heavy wires and large speaker tabs. And, unlike the many clones and no-name irons and ironing stations out there, when Hakko says 74 W I believe them! Just because a $15 no-name iron says it's 60W doesn't mean it's true! With this iron, however, you can bank on being 74W at 120v. Another advantage is that it has a 2-prong plug, instead of the grounded 3-prong plug that is on the North American market version. While this does mean you have to manually ground it if you want it to be 100% ESD safe, it also means the power cable is much lighter and more flexible than the one on the grounded version. This means it is more comfortable to use, and the cable won't pull the iron out of the holder just by its weight.Grounding is easy, by the way; just before you take the tip to the work, touch it against whatever you are using as a ground bus...like the place you connect your grounding wrist strap and/or your grounding desk mat to. Don't have either of those? Then don't worry about whether the iron is grounded, because you have far more risk from ESD from yourself or the work surface than the iron!Despite being durable and powerful, and having an easy temperature control feature, the iron is also light and really compact, so I can easily have all my soldering stuff in one small toolbox. It is also comfortable in the hand. I don't know why some reviewers have said it's hard to hold, I didn't find this at all. I love using it. I highly recommend this iron if you want to treat yourself to all the best features and reduce your desk clutter. Just make sure you buy GENUINE Hakko tips. This iron will of course take any of the millions of clone T18 tips out there, but the Hakko tips have so many advantages. Why buy a performance vehicle only to put crappy tires on it? The tip is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak, so do yourself a favour and ditch your cheap soldering iron tips!

Excellent product, accurate temperature control and value for money.

I have used many lower price irons and some mid price irons for the occasional electronic project and have always been disappointed. They never got hot enough, the tips were hard to find, and they never felt good to use.I needed an iron that got hotter and could maintain heat so that I could solder sections of copper plate and thick wire for a project. This iron worked great! It heats up incredibly quickly and gets very hot. No problem heating up large sections of material. The indicator shows when it is up to you're desired temp which is very handy.The build quality is fantastic. The plastic used seems to be a thick nylon and is very sturdy. The cord is very nice, it's not too heavy and easily flexes so it is far less likely to pull the iron around with it's weight. Even the insulation on the cord has a nice feel to it. The temp dial has a firm click and smooth motion. Overall the tool is simply pleasant to use.I have no complaints. The price is worth it and this will likely be the last iron I buy for a long time.
