Re: Hakko FX-888 cheap for 220-240v countries
You're not going to hear a lot about Weller because the quality has gone down a lot.
Weller recently had a few models that had very poor quality, the forums are full of complaints.
One very advanced model they made recently was basically so bad they pulled it from market after only sending a few units to some stores as demo models. I think the only stuff available is basically revision 2.
There's better value for money, there's Pace, there's JBC, there's Metcal, there's Ersa.. and there's some other new company these days that took advantage of some expired patents of Metcal I think to make some soldering stations that are very good... but I just can't remember the name now.
