Great soldering iron
By David CockayneI was really struggling with stained glass soldering and was about to give up. Luckily I saw a review mentioning this iron and promptly binned my old iron and used the Hakko. What a transformation. Despatch was very prompt and communication first class. Happy.

Wouldn’t use anything else - worth the investment
By Kate LavenderOriginally used a Weller 100w when I learnt stained glass 30years ago, and don’t remember having any issues with it. However, when I restarted glass work 5 years ago, I needed my own iron and had seen lots of hype about the hakko online and read about the benefit of the variable temperature control with regards to making it easier to use different solder mixes and use the same iron for both Tiffany foiling work and leading.
So glad I spent that little bit more (at the time it was higher priced) and invested in my hakko. It is so easy to use, lightweight which is great when doing more intricate work or soldering for a while, and heats up really quickly. My soldering has come on leaps and bounds with this iron, and I’ve just purchased 3 more for my workshop so my students can use them right from the start of their stained glass journey, so they can learn to love soldering rather than getting frustrated with the technique because of their equipment.
