T39 tips 95W rated ($15-30 each), new handle with 13 pins on it. Still using 24V AC with resistive heater.

FX971 ($400):
- 100W
- single port

FX972:
- 200W
- dual port

FX-9706 Micro hot tweezers, looks exactly like the RF tweezers (FX1003), so they reused that design.

Looks quite decent. But nothing really special about it. Performance won't be at JBC or Metcal level. But cost is also lower.

There are many strange design decisions on Hakko FX-971...

What are the strange design decisions?
He said this was supposed to be released in 2020, doesn't really change my opinion.

Lots of basic but good improvements over their old stuff:
- JBC style tip removal cutout
- tip holder spots on the stand
- no cable needed for sleep detection
- IR remote cal

Although yeah nothing really new or innovative, more of a refresh, and clearly built down to a price (cheap LCD display).
It would be cool if they pushed their induction tech instead. But the BOM cost on that is going to be a lot higher.
