Best soldering iron Hakko 888 WoiB 001 (2014x29)

: 01, 2014

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on a new vid series, please comment! The new segment will feature short vids based on the question: "which one is better?" This is WoiB 001. I've been using this Hakko 888 soldering iron for the past year. It's got 70 watts, so it heats up faster than the Weller 52D. I've got this Hakko on the bench in the shop. I've got the Weller upstairs on the electronics bench. Sure, the Hakko is a nicer iron, cooler looking, higher capacity but the real difference is the price. The Weller is $225, the Hakko is $100. Better and cheaper!
