I have a couple of those low cost soldering units and they work fine for
the smaller circuitry type of work..

My Hakko 888 arrived today, very pleased with it but it only came with a
large tip so I'm wandering around the internet looking for Hakko tips and
the prices are quite high and the shipping fees are extortionate. Then I
stumble onto Hakko USA's website which have the tips at a very good price
and reasonable shipping cost. This gets me thinking a bit more so I check
the price of the 888 and sure enough it's $10 more than the cheapest ebay
seller and free shipping so you're ahead ordering directly from the
website, and can order the tips you want at the same time.

| Subject: | Speaking of solder . . . |
I was interested in the soldering topic. I recently went to
Lowe=99s and Tractor Supply to get some rosin core electrical
solder for use on electrical wires on a homebuilt airplane. All I
could find was LEAD FREE solder. Has 60/40 or 63/37 Tin/Lead solder
now been banned in the USA or what. I have no trouble finding
traditional solder on eBay. I fully understand the transition to lead
free solder for plumbing applications, but I am lost trying to figure it
out for electronic applications?? Any comments??

We've had many discussions on the List over the
years concerning soldering materials, tools and
techniques. I own perhaps a dozen tools intended
to effectively heat solder and the target work
piece(s). I use solders of several types for
both electronic and mechanical joining.
For about the last 15 years, Metcal solder
stations have been my favorite tools for
joining everything from specks of electronic
fly-dung on etched circuit boards to installing
terminals on 4AWG wire. Metcal stuff has been
readily available on eBay and I've pretty well
outfitted the tool boxes of myself and relatives
with these tools.
I had recently had occasion to enhance a product
development partner's tool compliment and decided
to try a prominently promoted product line I saw
on eBay.

I bought one for the project . . . and a few
months later, added another to my drive-stand
bench. These have proven VERY capable. Good
temperature control, good energy concentration
at the tip, reasonably priced tips in range
of sizes and shapes. I've found them to be
a good value and more readily available than
the older Metcal system products at similar
prices.
I think Hakko may be the Metcal of the Pacific
Rim. They have a broad range of products
and are widely represented. I can recommend
them as an alternative to Metcal.

| Subject: | Atten Soldering Station? |
I bought a HAKKO temp controlled station a couple of years ago. I
immediately had trouble with it because the changeable tips
don=99t make good contact. I made a minor modification to my unit
and it is somewhat better, but still I get the disconnect warning sound
occasionally but tap it on the bench to get it reconnected. Anyone else
having problems with Hakko??
