Weller WD1000 and Hakko FX-951
Posted: Wed 12 Aug 12 2009 6:32 pm
The Hakko is 10W less than then 80W Wellers.
1. Compactness, fits more easily on the workbench
2. Audio beeps and alerts
3. Smart (well, not too smart) stand
4. Easy to change bits with heating elements
5. Good quality tips
6. Price
The Weller wins on:-
1. Power, 10W may not seem like much but you feel it
2. Robustness
3. Smarter controller, smart shutdown
4. Multiple temperature settings on a button
For now, the Weller is going back on the bench since I need the power.
