Review on Hakko Soldering Station FM 203 Conversion by David Herrera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great soldering station!

This is definitely professional equipment. Irons heat up very quickly. Irons are very comfortable and can be used for long periods without discomfort. I use it together with FM2023 hot tweezers and also for finishing SMD on PCB. But note a few things: 1. If you use it with hot tweezers, only the tweezers or iron will be hot at that time. You can switch between them without turning them off, but only one will be hot at a time.2. This device does not come with iron spikes. I would recommend getting T15-ILS for very fine work and T15-IL for soldering wires to connectors.3. The sleep feature can be a little annoying until you get the hang of how it works. All in all, I don't think I could be happier with my purchase :-).

Pros
  • Soldering stations
Cons
  • Small parts
