Hello.
I am looking for 220v soldering station.
At first I first was interested in original hakko fx888 because I saw it is 90$ in the US. Then I discovered it is around 260$ in my country (one official distributor).
I also realized it is hard convert 110v station to 220v.
I think I will buy a Chinese hakko clone. I want it to be compatible with hakko tips, and to be able to set a temperature (actual analog/Digital number, and not only hot/cold).
I saw there are many models of such clones (mainly 936 clone), each have disadvantages - atten, yihua, huakko and many more.
I need it to be cheaper then 75 dollars including shipping from china, because above this figure I will have to pay import taxes.
Which model is recommended?
Also - is there an option to buy a genuine hakko soldering pencil and to attach it to a clone station? Is there a reason to do it?
I will be glad to receive specific ebay links - of a recommended clone station without many issues and with no safety problems, of genuine hakko pencil (if exists and still being sold) and of genuine hakko tips.
Thank you.
