What is the chatter all about Hakko? I bought a Weller WSL station and am
pretty happy with it. Is the Hakko that good?
The WSL looks really nice, and I'll bet it's every bit as good as the Hakko
936-series. The Hakko probably sells for a bit less...usually around $85
for their ESD-protected station, but the Hakko doesn't have digital temp
readout either... the good thing is that 90% of us don't need that degree
of accuracy either... thank goodness.
What most folks REALLY are liking is the Hakko 808 DEsoldering gun, which
is really the berries... you can desolder an 18-pin IC and often have it
literally FALL out onto the desktop once the last pin's been cleared of
solder. It's also great for tinning toroidal inductor leads... a nice side
benefit.
