Very nice little soldering station
According to the manufacturer (lookup Hakko's website) the new FX-888 should have improved characteristics over their very popular and successful . I got mine at nearby Frys brick and mortar for sixty five. Frys also had full range of tips for this iron averaging about six dol. a piece.The station is fully temperature-controlled. It is supplied via a regular transformer which adds to its weight but is much more reliable than a switched mode PS. It has an "artsy" design, offered in four different color patterns, with hard plasic top shell and sturdy metal bottom to which the transformer is attached (yes, I had to open it up ;)). As one can see in the picture, the station has a simple center knob with a dial making it super easy to operate and inexpensive to manufacture. Digital temp. displays always add to the final...

Very ugly but the best iron I've used
I've had a Hakko 936 for well over ten years of heavy use, and it still works great. I got hired at a company that requires me to do a lot of soldering, so I chose the Hakko 888 because it is the closest thing to the 936.The 888 is better. Rather than setting the temp knob at about 80% all the time like the 936, I set it to 50% on the 888. Available power is very nice. I can throw away my big soldering "gun" (the type with the trigger) because this thing gets hotter-- it will solder a 10 AWG wire to a large nut, if you turn the temp up. Or it can solder a tiny 0402 surface mount resistor, if you turn the temp down and change the tip.I spend much of my day soldering at work with this iron. Life is easier with it.It is ugly.

High quality soldering station!
As a hobbyist I work mostly on guitar electronics, and my old flatbed 35mm film editing machine. After having used cheap-o $20 irons, all of which failed after few weeks of heavy use, I wanted to get a quality soldering iron.Bought this one at Fry's Electronics in the blue and yellow color scheme (It comes in silver, black, and red, however the blue/yellow is the only color scheme available in the US).The FX-888 has a fun, 50's retro sort of look. Judging solely by appearance it might be mistaken for a fisher-price toy. Be assured... it isn't.The temperature controller knob changes from 400-900°F and is lockable via a supplied hex key. An ON-OFF button is located on the side of the base. On the front of the base is a red LED which flashes on and off as it calibrates the desired temperature. Below the LED is a calibration pot that is to be adjusted with the "CAL adjustment driver" (also included) when replacing tips or other parts. The holder has...

Excellent--you need this.
Bought this on a whim when purchasing a Hakko 936 (an outstanding unit). It sounded like a good idea (less tip stress), and it is! I was never particularly happy with using a wet cloth or sponge. This does a better job of completely cleaning the tip, leaving the working surface shiny and ready to go with just a few plunges into the metal pad. One of those great tools you never knew you needed....

Product Description

Cleans your soldering iron tips without water! Made from coils of brass, which is softer than the tip plating yet harder than the oxidation that forms on the tip. To clean the tip, simply plunge (stab) the iron tip into the coils. The ideal alternative to a wet sponge. Top to learn more

Cutting edge
What can I say? These are some handy little cutters. Snip through capacitor and resistor leads like butter. These came free with my Hakko FX-888 soldering station, but they are definitely worth buying on their own.

The ultimate soldering iron!
This is like nothing I've used in the past. The unit comes to temp at blinding fast speed. Also, the heat remains constant even soldering heavy gauge wire and connectors. I was soldering some 12g copper wire but still had a fine tip installed. The solder flowed like I was using a 100w chisel tip. Build quality is also excellent. Cant go wrong with Hakko.

Best
Best battey soldering iron out there. The stay on switch without the momentary is a godsend. I soldier with it every day. In fact wore out the tip on the last one. Only bitch is the "repaceable" tip costs $15.00 to $18.00 dollars when you can find them. So I just buy new as there is nothing comparable on the market. Great Iron!

A solid and dependable tool
I use one of these at work. in the past i have used several different types and brands of solder suckers. all of the previous types i have used have not been self contained like the 808.the gun i use on my bench is routinely left turned on and used through 2 shifts. upwards of 16-20 hours. they have been in use now for roughly a year now since the first batch was purchased.first impressions, i was skeptical. the 808 is much larger than the handset of other types, heavier too. but virtually everything in the unit is some form of plastic except the motor and crank shaft (which was well lubricated at the factory), so its a lot lighter than you would expect, and can easily be held through large batches of solder sucking. also, the designers were careful to balance the gun at the handle, i have no problems using it sideways, vertical, horizontal for as long as necessary. its easily held and supported in any position you could need.with proper...

Best in Class!
I have used tons of solder suckers, and for the past 15 years, a Pace MBT-200 soldering/desoldering station. The Pace worked for a lot of years but always needed a lot of maintenance. It was ok but I always had a feeling there must be something better. It was what my boss bought so I was grateful just to have one. I've been having a hard time finding tips lately, so I decided to look for a station for myself. After reading a ton of reviews I bought this Hakko 808 and I got to say, i must've been living in a closet. This thing is absolutely the best. I have it on the temp setting from the factory which is kinda midway and with the tip that it came with and it cleaned up all the mess of a board that the pace couldn't handle. nice clean holes. I guess there could be better, but this is best in class for me. a bonus is, it's portable. I would definitely take it out in the field. It is kinda expensive [...] just for a desolderer. but, i just did 10 holes in one pass in like 30...

Better than sliced bread
I've tried just about all the low cost solder removal methods over the years. Vacuum bulbs and spring loaded plungers that I found to be largely worthless, radio shack desoldering iron with a built in suction bulb was what I used for years, worked ok as long as I kept a fresh tip on it. Desoldering braid was nice for cleaning up solder the sucker wouldn't get, but even after dipping in liquid flux, that left much to be desired.I finally bit the bullet and bought a Hakko 808 and it has completely transformed the art of desoldering. 40 pin DIPs on double sided PCBs that used to be a nightmare can now be removed on a whim with little risk of damaging the board. Desoldering has become so trivially easy that I've even spent some time harvesting usable parts from scrapped PCBs like I used to do as a kid except now it's a lot more fun. This thing warms up quickly and puts out a lot of heat, has powerful suction, is easy to maintain, and slurps the solder into a chamber that can...
