Product Description
Reliable digital technology by HAKKO – Introducing the HAKKO FX-888D Excellent thermal recovery Heater output has been increased by 30% compared to that of the conventional models HAKKO 936·937. Also FX-888D delivers excellent thermal recovery by using T18 series tips for their terrific heat conductivity. This allows soldering at a lower set temperature and reducing the thermal impact on components as well as tip oxidation that can shorten tip life. Thermal recovery graph Rise time to 350Degree C is 20 seconds faster and tip temperature drop is reduced during continuous work. HAKKO FX-888D performance comparison graph with conventional stations Able to shorten the time required for the same work and improve work efficiency significantly. Designed to be User-Friendly Small footprint Compact station body requires a space of only 100 (W) x 120 (D) mm. What’s more, points that come into contact with the floor are positioned as close to the outer edge of the body as possible to improve stability and make the station difficult to fall over. Simple and easy operation With only two operation buttons of UP and ENTER in the center, operation is simple and easy. Even if you’re not familiar with operation of machines, you can operate it without difficulty. Iron holder with full of functions An iron holder of the same color of a soldering station comes as a set. The highly functional iron holder not only improves ease of use, but also brings a sense of visual consistency to the work environment. Silver Soldering station Iron holder Blue & yellow Soldering station Iron holder Strict temperature management Digital display The FX-888D’s digital display makes it easy to check the set temperature at a glance.

I'm an electrical engineer, but my line of work is test engineering. I often solder things at work, using our very expensive Weller soldering station. It functions much the way this one does, but this one is much less expensive. I would say that the Hakko FX888D-23B7 station is at least the same if not better than the competing Weller station. The tip is wonderfully tinned, the whole product is extremely well constructed and solid, and although the colors of this product make it look like a toy, this is a serious station for people who want quality.
It heats to 720F in about 20-30 seconds and really stays there. It is a pleasure to work with. I installed the second smallest tip on mine and have used it to solder 16ga wire with no problems at all. Plenty of heat capacity, even for a small tip. The other tips that it comes with are just gravy.
The sponge is great - stays wet for a long time and thoroughly absorbs the water you add to it. The wire wool pad does a great job at removing any excess solder after you've cleaned off the rosin.
The iron stand, which is relocatable (I love that about it), is very sturdy and has more than enough weight to hold the iron in place. It also protects the space around the iron so it doesn't melt nearby objects. The whole stand is also metal,even though it doesn't look like it in the pictures.
All around, 5 stars with no complaints. I've used hand irons for years (plug in ones), including a Weller WP25. The WP25 was a quality iron and my go to for anything, but the heat capacity was just not enough. Also, the wide size of the WP25 compared to this Hakko iron is surprisingly not a good thing. The thinness of the Hakko iron is much more ergonomic for my personal taste. I'd recommend this to everyone, no matter their skill level, and I will definitely buy one again if I need another (but I don't think it will be necessary!).
I purchased this product for $140.33 before tax. I did not receive the item for evaluation.
The product I purchased from Amazon is the genuine Hakko product (not a counterfeit one!) which I bought for my home work bench because my old Weller soldering station heating element died. I was thinking about getting another Weller, but was disenchanted with the quality, price and many reviews from buyers who were not happy with the quality or reliability of the more recent Weller products (It seems Weller quality and reliability has suffered in the past decade).
My Hakko FX888D has a very wide, controlled temperature range and reaches the desired temperature very quickly (<30 seconds) and holds it well even when soldering something that has a lot of thermal mass. I really like the compact size and the separate soldering stand for the soldering pencil. Having the solder cleaning sponge and cleaning wire in the stand is really nice too! The soldering pencil is also compact, lightweight and very comfortable to hold.
The users manual was awkward but, with some effort, I was able to figure everything out. I strongly recommend downloading the latest online version of the users manual because it is much more complete than the instructions that shipped with the product. Yes, the temperature can be manually adjusted, but I like having the five temperature presets, which are custom programable and it is a breeze to quickly choose one of the desired temperatures. Once it's set up, it's very easy to use. I also do RC airplane modeling, so I set one of my presets to 500 deg. F, which is a good temperature for well controlled cutting and melting of holes in plastic without burning it.
If you buy the Hakko FX888D soldering station, I don't think you would be disappointed.
