Hakko Dial type temperature limiting soldering iron FX600 (Japan import)

I bought this soldering iron and I plugged it into the socket outlet which burnt out instantly. Unfortunately, nothing mentioned in the specifications regarding the voltage. It is only mentioned on the soldering iron itself. Despite that “Hakoo” is very good soldering iron brand, I put one star for the following reasons: 1. Noting mentioned in the specifications about the supply voltage. 2. I considered that all imported electrical items to UAE should be 220VAC.

I work as an aircraft component technician and Hakko is my new go to soldering iron after Weller went downhill in quality. This Hakko model is a fantastic soldering iron that is well made, quickly heats up to the desired heat setting and maintains it while working. This is something that is quite important when soldering so you can pick a desired heat setting so you won't over heat what you're working on. This is the Japanese version of the Hakko FX600 soldering iron which has a voltage rating of 100 volts, 50/60hz but will work in countries where the volage is 120 volts 60hz. There is a version of the Hakko FX600 which has a three prong cable(has grounding pin) but the internals are exactly the same. Based on reviews seen, the three pronged version is twice the price with a stiffer cable that a few individuals have complained to be an annoyance and a safety issue causing the iron to move around the work bench after placing it down or on a stand. The heating element quickly transfers heat inside the barrel into the tip. This is something of a marvel compared to other designs that are much less effective and efficient. You can change the tips by loosening the nut on the barrel and pulling out the tip replacing it with another. Just remember for this model FX600, the tips have to be the 18mm versions and not the 19mm which is for a similar looking Hakko soldering iron (which has a higher heating range). There is also more heating tip options for the Hakko FX600 versus the Hakko FX601. The FX600 is the iron you want to use for most soldering jobs. The Hakko FX601 is mainly for stained glass window fame soldering or more for heavier jobs that require a bit more heat. The cable on this soldering iron is quite flexible and important so that you aren't fighting against the cable but also so the iron doesn't start moving around on you workbench. Overall, I'm impressed with this model and as such purchased a few to have around.

Excelente cautín, en unos 20 segundos alcanza temperatura y su regulador ontegrado te da varias opciones camparado con otras opciones. Ya he comprado varios para uso en casa y la oficina, todos excelentes.

温度設定できるハンダゴテ初めて買いました すごく便利 また、小手先が温まる時間がすごく速い オススメです

Je viens de le recevoir, je l'ai pas encore testé, je découvre qu'il a déjà été utilisé (voir la photo de l'embout), est-ce normal ??? Je laisserais un autre commentaire après l'utilisation, j'ai payé aussi cher pour avoir un produit tout neuf, je suis déçue 💔
