Agree. Just ordered I did not get it yet. I did not notice solder holder is a different color. It is stupid from them. Just wondering who was this "smart" designer who desided to make it so weird. On other hand I am happy they changed complicated buttons for easy dial. Can you please advice me what soldering tips should I order from them? I mean what is the most useful tips "must have" for general soldering?
My preference is chisel. I tried the T18-D08 chisel tip and I haven't stopped using it since. Subtle chisel that holds solder, but cone enough for small accurate work. I'm not a pro but the T18-D08 works for me for SMD 0402 up to 8mm through-hole pads. Previously I liked the Weller ST8 and I have the Hakko T18-S9 and T18-D12 on hand that are somewhat comparable. I haven't used them cause I found T18-D08 to do everything so far. I gave the station in the video to a friend and included a T18-D08. Anyway, thanks for the comment and for taking the time to watch!
its so stupid from hakko... they always have to fucked up at least 1 thing 🤣... and the look of the DX station look weird... it look like a fake when its not
Hey thanks for the comment! I’m happy with the DX. Never used the previous versions, one of which had a dial. So easy to change temp. Thanks for watching!

sometimes a little extra money spent is worth that little extra happiness!
FYI the Hakko FX888DX-010SV is matching silver for station, iron, and stand.
