Question about HAKKO FX-951 - is this one a copy
« on: July 29, 2015, 11:03:38 am »
Good day to all,

I  bought this station HAKKO FX-951 from chinas reseller. It is working well, but it feels little different , from what i had used previously (same model bought from UK).

I was wondering, is this original HAKKO FX-951, if same one is familiar with the model, i will appreciate any help, here are some images :



If needed i can dissemble and take a photo from inside.

100% fake. You wont get genuine Hakko from China ever, local resellers widely sell fakes too. Genuine FX-951 have a cable from the stand to the back of the soldering station. Therefore check your other FX-951, it might be fake too as you didn't mention this cable.

If you are not buying from a Hakko authorized reseller-verifiable on their website-it is fake.  Same goes for tips.  Hakko seems to be the most copied/cloned product for some reason.  By the way, I love my new 951 purchased from TEquipment.net with the EEVBlog discount.

If you have pictures of the inside it would be interesting to compare them with an genuine unit.

I am glad you all used the word fake, it gets me when people use the word clone, a clone is an exact copy of another, something these chinese knock offs is not.
