Great deal on a soldering station!! (A FastEddy Find.)

[FastEddy]

Tired of your Radio Shack Soldering iron?
For just a few dollars more I just got this soldering station.

I ordered it on Wednesday and got it on Friday. I purchased my ultrasonic cleaner from them a while back. They have some great tech stuff for good prices.

The soldering station isnt laboratory quality but its hands above my $30.00 Weller pencil. It make soldering battery packs a simple and fast chore. If your looking to step up, this is a good product for a great price.

Soldering battery packs? Damn man, did you forget this is RC Nitro Talk,


J/k man, nice find, that's a nice deal, and looks like a nice station.

Dont worry, I still keep a can of nitro around. When I get the urge, I huff a bit and it keeps the "Jonze" away,

Nice find. I use the Hakko 936 for my electrics. I just plug it in, set the thermostat and leave it on all day.

I saw them at my LHS. From what I hear they are a good unit. If I find myself racing every weekend I will most likely get one for the pit.

For now at less then half the price, this one will do for the workbench. Its more of a replacement for the $35 pencil unit I seem to replace every year or so. For $10 more its a great find.

uh-oh. someone is starting to get bit by the electric racing bug. pretty soon your going to purchase a comm lathe, a turbo 35 GFX, a motor dyno etc.

The fun never stops.
For me nitro is great and will never be replaced but at this time electric is more practical.

We took a Hakko apart and found that this soldering station is exactly like the Hakko. The internal parts have the same chips, circuit boards, and components as my friends Hakko 936 with a 907 iron.

This leads me to believe (ASS-U-ME) that they are all OEMd out of the same factory.

I just picked one up....Now I need to learn how to use it.Befor I try to do my new esc and batts...

 

[ZANDOR]

Now that was quick i got it today!!!@!

 

[FastEddy]

First thing you will want to get is a broad tip.
You can order it from the same people or from a Hakko dealer.
Sorry I forgot to mention that in my post.

 

[ZANDOR]

Cool I now need some thing to solder LOL..
Nice looking unit here. Do you have a part number??

 

[FastEddy]

It would be this one for soldering battery packs. you want the tip with the most mass and a flat tip. The one that comes with the unit is good for small work.

Are you into jewelery?

Yeah, but not jewelry! ine was originally purchased for commercial use in the family business. I had a dirty r/c in hand one day and had to try it out! Needless to say, I've been happy ever since. LOL
