Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Hakko FX-901/P Battery-powered Soldering Iron by Jacob Kuntz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great iron, good for soldering

Most household soldering jobs are short, simple and hopefully quick. For example, my wife's battery-powered LED chain stopped working. She asked me to see what was wrong and fix it if possible. One of the wires from the battery terminal came loose and had to be soldered back. I usually took my 120V AC soldering iron. Connected it to the network. let it warm up. So it's usually installed in the kitchen next to the stove so I don't have to worry about the hot iron damaging the countertop. See where it's going. With this little battery operated iron. Nothing like that. I didn't even have to remove the string of lights from the flower arrangement she hung them on. Did a lead resoldering job right there. Less than five minutes were completed. Total time. from research to completion of the renovation. The only way that was possible was because of that little iron. Heats up very quickly. Great in hand. The balance and ability to control top placement is great. This is a small iron that costs extra dollars (you can buy some irons for half the cost) but you will regret it. I can say. I've been an electrician for 42 years. Used a lot of irons and guns. Usually from two different manufacturers whose names begin with the letter "W". You pay $$$ for these tools. good tool. I highly recommend this iron.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • A little wrinkled
