Game changer! - worth the investment
By Judith TaylorI'm a newbie, and have been more than disappointed with my soldering skills (( using a plumbing solder iron )
I was very reluctant to invest the money while feeling I may just not have the skill ( you know the old saying a bad workman blames his tools!).
This solder iron is a total game changer - the very first piece I soldered with it was leaps and bounds ahead of my previous attempts.
I can't recommend it more, especially for an inexperienced "stained glasser" - * * * * *19/12/2024
Great soldering iron
By Sarah WearsAs a beginner I have found the Hakko 601 excellent for controlling temperature and ease of use. I started with an inferior model to the Hakko and found it really frustrating to use and just couldn't achieve a nice smooth finish. Was delighted when first using this soldering iron as the difference in flow of solder was amazing. I thought it was my lack of experience but it was obviously the equipment I was using. Would highly recommend.

Great soldering iron
By Kim ThomsonVery happy with the Hakko FX 601. It is lightweight and great to have heating control. I had previously used the Weller 100, the Hakko is superior product, don't hesitate to buy.
