Hakko 633 01 Iron Holder Cleaner Review

Quality holder for your soldering iron that holds your waterless brush like it's clamped. I personally hate having my soldering iron on my electronics workbench as it's always in the back where you can't see the temp gauge and the scrubber is out of reach. If you move it forward, it will slowly move back. So I bought one of these, bent a soldering iron holder, drilled 2 holes in it and attached it to the wall at the back under the shelf. Now the iron controls are at eye level on the shelf, my…

I thought this would be the right accessory for the Hakko 936 I got off the net to control the temperature of my soldering projects instead of the usual iron rod. I was a bit hesitant as there are a number of other cheaper non-branded options for such a basic option. I decided to jump on it and I'm so glad I did. It's well made and will hold a wide range of irons including my 936, a basic Radio Shack iron and a soldering iron. However, it's not big enough for my Weller 8100-B soldering iron…

This soldering iron holder is well made and worth the money. Unfortunately, many people think that this is a good soldering iron stand for the FR-301. The iron does not fit well in the bakelite part of the holder. Honestly, I would consider it dangerous when used with the FR-301. Recommended holder for Hakko FR-301 is C1100. For some reason, American Hakko doesn't offer the C1100 on Revain. He also recommends 633-01 in Revain's frequently purchased box. Although people buy these for the FR-301,

I have a Hakko FX-888D soldering iron and I really like it. What I don't like is the iron holder that comes with it. It's in the same yellow and blue color scheme as the box, and I find it a bit ugly. Not only is the sponge useless since it has a brass sponge (brass sponge will extend the life of your tip and won't cool it down), but the hole for the brass sponge holder is annoyingly small/narrow. I was a bit concerned if it would hold my FX-888D stick perfectly as I couldn't find any reviews…

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…
