Review on Hakko 633 01 Iron Holder Cleaner by Jeremy Byard

But what I really like about the soldering iron stand is that unlike the cheaper ones the heating element and tip ie the hot parts are not resting on some metal to cool and use more energy to heat the soldering iron. Metal if you have a temperature controlled iron. Every time you connect a radiator to a heat source, it extracts energy from that source, in this case heat. But the problem with almost all soldering iron holders is that by design they take these parts and press them securely against something the iron is designed to heat. It doesn't matter if you use a cheap $10 iron, but I have temperature controlled irons and that means if something comes in contact with the heating element, it will dissipate the heat and effectively heat the room, there's more power. is poured into the iron to maintain the iron at the desired temperature. In fact, he keeps losing it because everything opposite the heating element and the iron is constantly being heated above room temperature. This device also works well in the rubber foot department and I don't know if there's a way to insert a sponge into the round hole from the front, but you don't have a choice if you just use the brass Brillo pad that comes right out of the hole by simply pushing into the hole. The only downside to this device is the fact that it doesn't weigh as much as it should. This works well for high end irons that have very flexible cords going from the heating element to the actual drive unit, but all irons under $100 have hard cords and as we all know you take a hard cord that you plug the iron into the holders, and this holder will fly because they are very light. I will try to find a way to add a heavier weight to the bottom rear of this unit as it holds the iron very well. of everything it touches except the insulated collar on top as it should be. That fits the Hakko FX88 perfectly, as do some of my cheaper irons, all of which are on the table. I wish there was a way to measure it so you can see if your iron is tight or just loose. in a holder, so I can only tell you which mid-range iron is a good fit. This is a good enough product for me to crack the perfect product considering it doesn't take much effort to do so.
