1 X Hakko Dial Type Temperature Limiting Soldering Iron Fx600

Great soldering iron! hot in less than 30 sec. I have the big brother fx88d and this does everything it does just less temperature control but 3 times cheaper I put on the 5.2 mm chisel tip and it's perfect for anything RC related, these tips literally last for years. This thing will go all the way to 1000F! the 460 setting is 860F & and it's perfect for anything RC related handles 12 and 10 gauge motor wires with ease. I highly recommend this soldering iron for 10 dollars more than a Weller it's 10 times better in every way!

I had a cheap radioshack soldering iron I kept in my electrical kit. It was terrible. No temp control, bad tip, and i always got bad results. So I decided I would get a new iron, that was more capable. I looked around at all the cheap chinese options, and then there's weller brand. I didn't know about Hakko, a famous japanese brand. I didn't want a whole integrated stand like the weller, I just wanted something capable that I could toss into my toolbox. This is the one! This iron was not expensive, is temp-controlled, which you reall NEED, especially for thick items that need more heat. I learned that the HAKKO tips are the defacto standard, and I bought a couple of extra tips. A top buy.

Great soldering iron, easy to use and gets plenty hot with its temperature control

Bought this Hakko Fx600 on July 8th 2020. I really liked it but it died today on January 10th 2021. I turned it on to do some minor soldering on my truck and it would not heat up no matter what setting it was on. I pulled the tip off to inspect it and tightened the tip back on and the ceramic heating element broke. Very dissapointed.

The perfect iron for the casual hobbyist. Puts the other irons i bought for around the same price to shame. Pick the right tip for the job, watch a few PACE videos, and you will get jobs done that you previously struggled with. Helped me finish the brushless swap on my RC10GT. 10/10 Highly recommended.

I have used many lower price irons and some mid price irons for the occasional electronic project and have always been disappointed. They never got hot enough, the tips were hard to find, and they never felt good to use. I needed an iron that got hotter and could maintain heat so that I could solder sections of copper plate and thick wire for a project. This iron worked great! It heats up incredibly quickly and gets very hot. No problem heating up large sections of material. The indicator shows when it is up to you're desired temp which is very handy. The build quality is fantastic. The plastic used seems to be a thick nylon and is very sturdy. The cord is very nice, it's not too heavy and easily flexes so it is far less likely to pull the iron around with it's weight. Even the insulation on the cord has a nice feel to it. The temp dial has a firm click and smooth motion. Overall the tool is simply pleasant to use. I have no complaints. The price is worth it and this will likely be the last iron I buy for a long time.

Heats up really quickly with almost all temperatures and stays there fine. Tip is fair quality that handles solder fine without degradation. But if you have to change the temperature then you better pray you kept track of the included knob that slots into the dial. The strap keeping it to the iron doesn't stay on the cord like it's suggested to do and is a pain to use. I have no idea why they couldn't have just made a permanently installed dial instead.

1 X Hakko Dial Type Temperature Limiting…. Pretty sure this thing isn’t rated for USA voltage, but I been using and abusing for well over a year going on 2 and it’s my favorite iron I’ve ever had!! Love it!

I bought this soldering iron and I plugged it into the socket outlet which burnt out instantly. Unfortunately, nothing mentioned in the specifications regarding the voltage. It is only mentioned on the soldering iron itself. Despite that “Hakoo” is very good soldering iron brand, I put one star for the following reasons: 1. Noting mentioned in the specifications about the supply voltage. 2. I considered that all imported electrical items to UAE should be 220VAC.

Excelente cautín, en unos 20 segundos alcanza temperatura y su regulador ontegrado te da varias opciones camparado con otras opciones. Ya he comprado varios para uso en casa y la oficina, todos excelentes.

Je viens de le recevoir, je l'ai pas encore testé, je découvre qu'il a déjà été utilisé (voir la photo de l'embout), est-ce normal ??? Je laisserais un autre commentaire après l'utilisation, j'ai payé aussi cher pour avoir un produit tout neuf, je suis déçue 💔

I ordered this iron as an upgrade to my Sparkfun 937b soldering station. I wanted something more compact yet more powerful, while also more durable. The wand for my 937b would sometimes start to flex if I was applying a little but of pressure to get solid contact between the tip and the work. I wasn't overdoing it, it's just that once the plastic wand would heat up it would start to be less rigid. To begin this Hakko iron is extremely durable. It is very well built. It's very rigid and you can tell from the hardware and fittings that it's meant for steady work and can take heavy use if needed. Also, don't let the nominal 50W power rating fool you. That is the wattage you get if you use the Japanese 100v electrical system. Here in North America where we use 120v this iron runs at 74W. Check the excerpt from the manual I've attached to the review. 74 watts is plenty of power for large jobs like soldering heavy wires and large speaker tabs. And, unlike the many clones and no-name irons and ironing stations out there, when Hakko says 74 W I believe them! Just because a $15 no-name iron says it's 60W doesn't mean it's true! With this iron, however, you can bank on being 74W at 120v. Another advantage is that it has a 2-prong plug, instead of the grounded 3-prong plug that is on the North American market version. While this does mean you have to manually ground it if you want it to be 100% ESD safe, it also means the power cable is much lighter and more flexible than the one on the grounded version. This means it is more comfortable to use, and the cable won't pull the iron out of the holder just by its weight. Grounding is easy, by the way; just before you take the tip to the work, touch it against whatever you are using as a ground bus...like the place you connect your grounding wrist strap and/or your grounding desk mat to. Don't have either of those? Then don't worry about whether the iron is grounded, because you have far more risk from ESD from yourself or the work surface than the iron! Despite being durable and powerful, and having an easy temperature control feature, the iron is also light and really compact, so I can easily have all my soldering stuff in one small toolbox. It is also comfortable in the hand. I don't know why some reviewers have said it's hard to hold, I didn't find this at all. I love using it. I highly recommend this iron if you want to treat yourself to all the best features and reduce your desk clutter. Just make sure you buy GENUINE Hakko tips. This iron will of course take any of the millions of clone T18 tips out there, but the Hakko tips have so many advantages. Why buy a performance vehicle only to put crappy tires on it? The tip is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak, so do yourself a favour and ditch your cheap soldering iron tips!

Product looks genuine. Switched it on and all seemed to be ok: all lights where working and and handle was getting hotter and hotter, but even after 3 min tip was too cold to melt led wire for soldering. I even touched it and it was barely warm. I googled what could be an issue and immediately i found that most likely internal heat conductor is damaged or broken. I open it up and bingo - new item arrived with snapped internal heat conductor.
