Tips for Hakko 936-12

[Dido]

Howdy folks,

I have searched this forum (and the web) in vain for this information. It seems that experience is involved!

I am ready to buy a new Hakko 936-12 (ESD) Soldering Station. It comes with a standard tip 900M-T-1.6D. I would like to buy optional tips for point-to-point soldering. With your experience, I would appreciate any suggestion.

You can find optional tips here.

And FYI, EMSCO are selling this unit over the internet for $69.95 here.

Thank you all.
Best
Mike

Dido,

?? I am ready to buy a new Hakko 936-12 (ESD) Soldering Station

I bought one a few month ago, with a spare tip ref: 900M-T-1.2D...
At the Active store here in Montreal, it was a promo.

Very good soldering station!

What else do you want to know?

Regards.

Alain.

So, I am considering to invest in several additional tips.

Chisel, bevel, conical!!
My guest would be
900M-T-LB: Long, round tip, skinny, for cleaning out PCB holes
900M-T-3.2D: Chisel tip - For non-PCB work
900M-T-B: Conical - for PCB and non-PCB

What is your experience?

Thanks.
Best,
Mike

Hi for what its worth,

I thought hakko 900 series was ok until i got myself a Metcal sp200.

Now I don't know how I put up with Hakko's. If you can try one out do yourself a favor.

Dido,

Well, about 110 cad$ with spare tip including taxes.

About EMSCO the only problem is shipping plus taxes...

The Hako 936 ESD is a Rolls with a very good temperature regulation,
a ceramic heater for long use, and very quick heating.
I use it only about all pcb solderings.

Regards.

Alain.

Alain,

I've called Active and the 936 is now 119.99 + spare tip + taxes.
The promotion you've got was a good one.

Thanks for your input.
Best,
Mike
