Introducing the Hakko 600 FX
We are happy to announce we are now distributors for Hakko Temperature Controlled soldering Irons. We have been able to secure only a small quantity of 600FX due to a global shortage of components. More are due this month, all going well. The 600FX includes a tip suitable for Copper foiling and Stained glass.
Hakko are currently working to gain Australian certification for their very popular 601FX model, unfortunately this will delay supply to the Australian market by 12 months.
Staff Reviews
Claire (Copper Foiling)
Perfect Iron for Copper foiling
Heats up very quickly
The temperature control dial works well. It heats up and cools down quickly
Comes pre-tinned and no issues taking
solder
You can place the iron down on a table and it stays horizontal and doesn’t tilt forward and burn the table, therefore, a stand is not necessary, unless preferred.
The smaller tip (T18-S3) is ideal for building up solder on the edges of a suncatcher.
The
Hakko creates a nice bead on the edges and on the internal solder joins
It is very lightweight. A perfect little hobby iron for students and advanced copperfoilers
Simon (Leadlight)
Good Iron for Leadlight
On 4mm lead it worked perfectly providing a very neat joint at 420deg
On 10mm lead it
worked perfectly providing a very neat joint at 450deg
I was concerned that the 5.2mm tip would be too small for larger leads but the consistent temperature makes this iron work well regardless of the small tip.
When comparing this with the now discontinued Weller 100W temp controlled iron with a 6.35mm tip, it works equally as well or even better with the slightly smaller tip.
As the Weller 100W is no longer available I would suggest this is good replacement
The diamond drill bits with ball point are back in stock. Excellent for making clean and accurate holes. Can be used on glass, tile, fibreglass, porcelain, ceramic, slate marble and granite light stone.
