NESSUNO MI ASCOLTA!!!!
ITRONIK VENDE LE HAKKO, STA A PADOVA!!!!
They're stupid soldering station are BORING and SLOW as hell.
I personally don't like the Hakko-Product-Policy. Here in Germany there is nearly no way to get a Hakko for a reasonable price compared to the US. It seems they don't want to sell, so they don't sell.
QuoteThey're stupid soldering station are BORING and SLOW as hell.How can a soldering-station be "Boring"?
And as for slow... 15-20 Seconds to 350°C (WSP80) are not slow. The Hakko are a bit faster (~5 sec. I believe), but who cares?
In terms of quality I think the Weller WMD 3 is ahead of the FM206 in nearly all points.

In terms of quality... Weller starts at a "higher level" in quality and price. The Weller "consumer"-Products (these red ones) are a bad joke. The same with Ersa, except the very cheap Ersa iCon Pico, many people say it's good, but I've never seen this unit so far.
Hakko produce very good soldering stations, but they are not really the "holy grail" or whatever. Weller, Ersa, Pace, Hakko, JBC... there is no "best" one or clear winner....
The weller station are a lot worst in that, espedially the old ones.
And BTW, I did a little mistake, I thought the FX888 used the FM-2027 iron like the FM206, but it uses another quite similar to the 936, heat-up-time (out of a youtube-Video) ~25 sec. About 10 sec. slower than a WS81. If it's THAT important for you, throw your Hakko out.
I still say: It's not important
The '888 is basically a 936 in a different casing with a slightly more powerful transformer.
Well if it's important for you that's hardly to argue. If the blue/yellow case is important for you, one can't say anything against it.
But please stop writing stuff like brand XY is total crap or whatever if you can't get a good reason for it.
I get the feeling you have never used a modern Pace, Weller or whatever and are just doing fanboyism right now.

Now, what would you say of a brand that sell the same thing for 40year, don't do innovation, and insist in build stupid usb-key soldering station?
with they're new weller i must use 450c to do a minimal rework.

really? is that true?
