Hey guys in the pi land, my weller TC202D soldering iron is almost dead or the tips are just not hot as they should be.
So what is a good iron to use these days, LOL i haven’t even started on the Pico 2W’s headers yet!!
Hi Peter
I see you answered in a past post. It is Lawrie who wanted the tips. I had some which I gave to him.
Regarding your request. I have a Hakko FX888D which controls the power supply to control the heating. As far as I am aware it is only Weller that uses the heat sensitive magnetic tip. Could be vastly wrong here.
The Hakko seems pretty good so far. There is a good range of shapes and size tips readily available and is pretty easy to use.
Tip. The guide available to download on the Hakko web site is a lot more informative than the one supplied with the unit, like getting back to factory defaults if you get into a mess.
Cheers Bob
Thanks Bob
