Hakko 611-2 - Dual Solder Spool Stand

This is much more heavy duty, and sturdy than I expected. Works perfectly

Being able to pull my wire and braid off the roll while on this spindle stand has made my jobs 10 times easier. Soldering is already fiddly enough without making it harder on yourself. This is a game changer.

Very stable, sturdy and heavy. Has a capacity for 2 rolls of solder. Easy to use and easy to assemble, it's worth the cost.

i had the single reel hakko and it was meh. it has some issues which i wish they would have corrected and in this dual version everything except the plastic spools which is not that big of a deal breaker is better. i also love that this version has a handle so when i move to one of my other stations i dont have to now have multiple rolls at every single place i need it like i used to, and the single roll version the rolls basically fall right out if you tilt it, just grab this with the handle and move it where i need it. i ended up buying 4 of these to hold all the variants of solder i normally use. and its quick enough to swap out rolls for the times i use something less common. the setup i had before (and is still in use as i have a TON of various solder rolls) was something i made and it works awesome but is not mobile and mounted to the wall. im going to make something to hold these dual reels and again when i need to grab one and go its easy, the one thing i do wish it had is some kind of tagging system to say what solder is which. i had to use my ptouch brother to make small stickers to mark which is which.

Solid, well build/heavy duty. The handle makes it easy to move around when you need to, and the weighted base keeps it where you put it. The dual position works great for my purposed, Solder in the bottom position, Solder Wick in the top position.My only regret is letting it sit in my wish list for so long...Note, it also has a grounding screw with a star washer if that is something you require.

The Hakko solder holder has become an indispensable part of my soldering setup, and I couldn't be happier with its performance. Its dual-roll capacity, accommodating both 1.1mm and 0.3mm Kester solder, has streamlined my work, eliminating the need for multiple holders. Its sturdy construction and durability have truly impressed me, standing strong amidst the demands of an industrial environment. This holder is a testament to reliability and quality, making it an essential tool for anyone seeking efficiency and resilience in their soldering tasks, whether big or small.

For years I just let my spools of solder sit on the surface of my bench. I survived and so did the solder. But there were times I'd get the loose strand of highly conductive solder tangled in various things already present in the working area and the opportunity for an electrical short circuit was a high possibility. But the size solder was very small and a short would probably just melt it, acting as a fuse.But I wanted to have two diameters of solder readily at hand for some new projects and that meant even more chances of an electrical "OOPS", and the larger gauge solder wouldn't melt fuse-like as easily as the small, 0.025" diameter that's been my go-to solder for years.This Hakko solder stand was discovered accidentally via a 'Suggested for you' presentation here on Amazon. The size, two-spool capacity, previous experience with Hakko products and price made the decision to buy very easy.The stand stays put. The solder is up and out of the way of my bench surface. The stand is solid, easy to place a spool in and easy to reel in any excess solder that may invade the working area once the soldering is done. I can't complain about any aspect of the stand - it works perfect.

Easy to assemble. Great build quality -- heavy duty.
