nice and sturdy
I have used a generic stand up until now, but this one perfectly fits the Hakko 601 – its just a bit more pleasent not to have to be that extra bit careful when you put the soldering iron dow
Not cheap but in my opinion excellent.
Great soldering iron, very ergonomic grip. Lighter than I thought it would be but that is a great plus.
Are there cheaper options.you bet but this is a great piece of kit with simple tip changeover when required.
Great unit and have no issues recommending it.
Nice soldering iro
I quite like this soldering iron having now got used to it. It’s quite light in comparison to a previous one I used which is nice as it means I can use it for longer without my wrists aching at all. I like that it has a temperature control on it so I can turn it up or down. So far very happy with my purchase.
Great little iron. Needs a fatter tip
I got this for when I am teaching stained glass. I’ve been using the weller 101 for twenty years but their quality has nose dived over last last few years. This is the best replacement at present. Heats well. Despite the lower wattage it seems to have the power. Dial make temp control easier. Smaller size is preferred by some students. Only criticism is tip needs to be bigger. I bought the bullnose type tip seperately from creative glass guild. BUT it could still do with being larger for leadwork.
Hakko soldering iron is brilliant and very simple to use , for my stained glass art it is important to have good quality tools , this one meets all my expectations , I suffer from arthritis and using it helps as it is lightweight compared to other soldering iron’s
Highly recommended
But holder itself is cheap look and not very impressed with quality for this price
OMG how awesome is this
Have been wanting one of these for a long time and boy was it worth the wait. Went from using my Weller in the morning to this as soon as it arrived and was immediately impressed with how fast it heats up. I’m talking seconds. Beautiful clean solder lines. It’s also extremely light. In the package is a little gizmo with which to change the temperature setting. I hope I don’t lose this because I couldn’t move the dial without it. I’m impressed with the range of tips readily available as well as this has been an issue with my particular Weller.
very good produc
I really like it to do some stained glass, good precision for the temperature and very less heavy compare to the one I had before, a pleasure to use it !
After taking some time researching soldering irons to use for making foiled pieces and leaded stained glass,this was the choice I came to.Mostly because of other reviews, also because of the adjustable heat setting,although pricy it is worth the initial payout,new heads can be purchased and I really like the shorter length of the heating element it gives more control,although new to this hobby it is making a huge difference to the quality of my soldering.
Great tool for stained glass hobbies
Light and easy to hold . Variable temperature. Blue Little light flashes when hot enough.
Item delivered was different to that show
Very disappointed that in the picture it is shown to have a conical tip but it was delivered with a chisel tip I had to then order a conical tip separately!!
First class
Bought this iron after having used Weller temp.controlled 100w , for stained glass work, have gone through 3 of them , this is far superior to the Weller and highly recommend it. Heats up fast also cools down fast.
This is a quality soldering iron, I wanted a iron that the tips wouldn’t disintegrate constantly which I kept getting on cheap ones.
The heat control is brilliant and as soon as you turn it off it cools quickly but the best thing is it doesn’t take long to get up to temperature when you turn it back on.
I don’t think I’ll ever need to buy another. Very happy.
Which I had used this before, great produc
I’ve been using another well known soldering iron for 14 years with I had found this years ago brilliant produc
It’s light, easy to gold, easy to control temperature. Easy to tin, and solders perfectly.
Love this soldering iron for crafting
Started with a much cheaper option and then upgraded to this – have not looked back – it is easy to use and ideal for crafting / jewellery making.
Brilliant to use,easy to hold and perfect for hobbyists.
