We had such a nice response from the Pinside community on the FX-888D and the 808 Desolder Gun that we decided to run another “group buy” for the Pinsiders.
Some of you over the last few weeks have asked about the Hakko FX-601 Adjustable Temp Solder Iron. With the extra long 6ft cord, this is a nice portable unit to take on the road or get into places that just can’t be gotten to with a bench top station. The FX-601 is not some cheap wire wound stick. This is a professional grade piece with a ceramic heating element and adjustable temperature up to 1004°F. This baby will be up to temperature in under 20 seconds and give you consistant, reliable heat. This comes standard with a 5mm chisel tip. Some other popular accessories you might also consider include:
105-TL-T19B/P .5mm conical tip
105-TL-19D24P 2.4mm chisel tip
105-TL-0605MP Hot Sock for the solder iron
113-AC-20FTPK 20ft spool of Indium 60/40 solder .032” 21AWG

. Heats up just as fast or faster than my FX-888 but more portable for working inside pins.
