What's the best bay for the buck soldering iron I'm looking to upgrade.
I would also suggest the hakko for alot of reason.. I am not saying weller is a bad brand and stay clear of them .. The hakko products are modular in design and that's a really nice thing ..Cause when something breaks you can just purchase that part and be done with the repair and it's better with spare parts.. The Weller design is a contained unit and can't be repair or fixed unless you buy a the iron handle it self which is about $40 bucks for the WES51 but the tips are replaceable .. I own a old Hakko and love it but my current iron is the Weller WES51 and it suits my purpose and does everything I need but I still like the Hakko better and IMO has alot better tip selection too.Hakko FX-888D
I don't - when Cooper Tools took over, they decided that quality & reliability were an uneccesary extravagance.People here seem to love Weller brand.
That probably means I have the, "good" Weller stuff because I bought most of mine 30-40 years ago.I don't - when Cooper Tools took over, they decided that quality & reliability were an unnecessary extravagance.
