Honestly Weller and Dave both looked bad in the video. Weller's response skipped over the key issue. Dave managed to "accidentally" hook up a 120v/60hz station to 240v/50hz. My summary would be...

Exactly. The worst thing is that on Hakko instead of changing the temp you might be changing the offset value, the procedure is the same. This might lead you to believe you work with one temperature...

I worked in an electrical sensor manufacturing facility. Every station had a Weller like this. They were left on all day every day and lasted many years.

Yes the 888 works well but not sure why they don't add a couple temp up down buttons. Mine pretty much just always is at 750

Likely pretty bad. Older style (ceramic heater inside handle, not inside tip) means the recovery time is quite bad on stuff that is good at heatsinking (thick copper wire, big connectors, etc). It...

How are these for heavier soldering jobs like 12 guage wires to 5.0 bullet connectors? I have a weller soldering gun and it heats up instantly but it's heavy and awkward to use sometimes. I'm...

Thanks for all the help.
I decided to go TS100. Realized that SQ-001 is the newer model, so I ordered that directly from the manufacture sequremall .com

At an old job we had one of those. I found some plastic about as thick as a credit card. Trimmed it to fit in the slot and the unit was unlocked. I think I had to cut a slot offset from the center...

Brings back lots of memories : had Metcal PS /MX for rework , hakko 936 for light production. That was work.
I own several hakko 936 originals in white and black with a huge collection of tips....

Got it! Thanks for sharing. I've always only worked in R&D and don't know what it's like in a production environment. This makes perfect sense.

This one is likely use the same heating element as Hakko 888D, it is a clone of the technology. But the tip generally is not as precise as the original Hakko tip, so the heat conduction is most...

I remember 8 year old me cranking up my dad's Weller station when he wasn't paying attention. I bet he would have loved the password option.

I must be getting old. I can't imagine why a soldering iron would require me to enter a password.

Absolutely TS100P for FPV stuff since you can power it from your battery pack for field repairs.
Or if you also carry a battery bank around you can get the TS80p, but that's 30W instead of 65W....
