Every bit helps me create more and better quality content!
It might be the wrong way to do it but I find that two pin components are much easier to solder if you tin one pad with solder before placing the component on the board, heat the tinned pad and place the component with tweezers, when the component is locked into place, solder the other pad.
Dallas, tx, I'm starting working in my hobby of electronics, I'm barely a teen and am finding this hobby really amusing and entertaining, I hope it's not too late...
Thanks for posting your review of this quality product. I've been researching soldering stations to replace my cheap radio shack "firestarter" and the Hakko certainly stands out. This unit would look and perform great on my bench here in Michigan!
Nice tutorial and demo, Sparky! Thank you!!
I just ordered the Hakko via Amazon last night and look forward to giving it a try. This is an interesting new hobby I'm getting into and appreciate your instructive videos!
I just bought the 888 and so far i love it ! Thanks for the video and tips, really helps !
I Lost my instructions for this. I would like to have the Temperature in Fahrenheit. Also have difficulty with the
Up and Enter. I get it to a temp. Then it goes back to what it was! I got some thing from this video though 😃❤️. Can anyone please help me? Thanks 😊
I live in WA state. I am a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity ReStore in The Dalles, OR. One of the things I do here is crafts and repurposing of products. Soldering would come in handy which is why I am watching these videos. T.hey have been very helpful.
Well done, Sparkys! Wouldn't it be horrible if we won the giveaway?! :)
Thanks from PA for this video. I've been looking at the 888d to replace my cheapie pita iron!
Thank you for making and posting this video. Thank you.
Wonderful demo, I ran across your videos while looking for a new soldering station, I was a bit put off by the color combination of the new hakko (I was always a fan of the utilitarian design of the 936), but I think you have sold me despite it. I'll throw my name in the hat for the giveaway as well, I'm from North Carolina, US. Thanks for looking out for your viewers.
this is by far the best tips. thank you. awesome
I haven't tried SMD soldering yet, but this might inspire me. Thanks from WV USA.
All the way from the UK, I'm loving your videos on soldering and the techniques you utilise. Thanks so much
I understand there's a solder mask, but still I'm amazed that you don't get any shorts between the tiny pins while drag soldering
Yantriki Namaskar That's what the flux is used for... :)
Great video, also checked your earlier soldering video which is really nice ! Hello from Montreal !
Love your videos thanks for all of them I’ve learned so much about soldering since I’ve subscribed. Thanks for posting watched everyone can’t wait for the next one to come out. Love the Hakko products
Found you by accident while looking at HMC Electronics. Very interesting tutorials. Well done.
great video from TEXAS!!!!!
Very interesting demo. Well done. I'll keep the Hakko soldering station in mind.
We have one of these at work, they are damn cool. LAMP!
just bought one cant wait to try it.
Very nice of you to do this... I am from US... but great vids
I hope to see more! Chandler, AZ
Very kind of you to give away this stuff. Germany
Awesome Video. will be tuning in for more, Canada
Super cool! I'd love to have the equipment to do more SMD stuff.
Thanks, Dinuba, CA.
Nice video. I'm from New Mexico USA.
Calling out from Los Angeles, California, the place everyone wants to live. These kind of video are so helpful, keep them coming.
Yay, nice soldering demo right there, California.
Love your videos!
Hi from Portugal.
Awesome Demo of a great Iron! Thanks for doing it :)
Have this unit you gave me great tips . Very good videos
Good luck all - from the US. This would be a nice upgrade for anyone s bench.
nice demo. hi from novato, ca
Ive got a heck of a use for the bus pirate!
Love the way you turned into a chipmunk :-) Hi from Wales, United Kingdom
The first thing you must do when you receive a soldering station that displays temperature in Fahrenheit is changing it to sane units! It'd be better if you could use Kelvin as well, though...
Thanks for the video. I am from Costa Rica !!!
Also, from the past year's experience, and thus is for everyone else, don't bother getting a really fine tip for your iron. It's a pain in the butt to use. Like he says, the chisel tip he's using here will do the MAJORITY of what you need.
Anybody want a hakko fine tip? Only been used 2 times...
Greetings from Los Angeles, CA. Great practical demo -- thanks!
Wow I know I am way behind in this finding your channel but it is marked and I am now reading everything I can along with subscribing I repair cell phones but only touch screens/LCD etc. so far, I now want to do USB charging ports etc. so yes this would definitely be a step up from my $15 soldering iron I have now, Dresden Ontario with shipping address in Marine City Michigan, thanks.
Thank you for the video is very useful greetings from Mexico city
Thanks for the video! Hello from Virginia, USA.
Great demo. I've been looking at this iorn for awhile. Matt from Akron, Ohio
Thanks so much for presenting this. I just received mine from A. and it's like night and day. I just got started so it's a lot better to learn soldering on this, than that crapola pencil I was using. Thing is - there are soooo many tip sizes and shapes for the Hakko, not to mention the different kinds of solder and flux. It's a bit overwhelming. Do you think you'could do one of your excellent vid's on that? Tips on tips ? Meanwhile, kind thanks from planet earth.
Great demo, informative and entertaining with the chipmunk voice over! J/K. I am thinking about this unit and I think you just sold me on it!
Thanks for the demo! I was concerned about the kind of clunky interface with this but you explained it well on your previous video and great demo here!
I'm in seattle wa!
Also is there ever any point in turning your iron down to low heat if you're going to be 5-10 minutes between joints? (solder something, then put batteries in do some testing and look what you might need to fix) or is it fine to just turn it off and on for small gaps like that?
men great tutorial ,I have one of those Hakko and I always wonder for what where the buttons ,because he started at 750
Thanks from Los Angeles, CA.
Cool Beans!
Good show.
Mesa, AZ. Really like the video. I'm starting in the RC aircraft hobby and some procedures require soldering. Battery wires, motor wires, and links all require soldering. There was at the end a part where you brushed some liquid on paper or cloth. Didn't quite get what that was.
He was brushing on an epoxy type sealer to put a protective coating over everything. This ensures that debris or liquids can't short out any of the components.
I actually believe Sparky was cleaning any residual flux off of the board using a kimwipe (lint free wipe) and a solvent mix of Iso alcohol and acetone.
I stand corrected diceroller, you're absolutely right. I remember that step now, the flux is absorbed into the tissue/ultra thin parchment paper, paper towel or kimwipe (whichever one chooses to use) Its been so long since I constructed a circuit board and my preference is a Kimberly Clark Kimwipe. The Epoxy goes on after removing the flux, if one desires to seal the board. Good catch diceroller! When I watched the video, that portion played in fast forward both video and audio. It was difficult to discern what was going on.
diceroller00 thank you. I am new here, and new to electronics. I enjoyed this video, but don't know why he would fast forward and "chipmunk through" something so helpful as that, and not explain. I still learned a lot, but it seems a waste to show it and not explain it. I still found the video very helpful and enjoyable. I just hate to miss something.
Thank you all for explaining!
Wade Hampton meant to thank you for explaining wade ... not used to commenting on TH-cam
I have been subscribed from Missouri and continue to enjoy your demos. In couple of segments I experienced speed issues making your voice pitched very high and fast. Yes it was chipmunk like :)
Thanks from Nixa, MO
Thats a nice setup
Thanks for the demo! Canada
This look's like a great unit . Great video .I've got this on my wish list :-)
Glad I subscribed! The are some pretty good vids.
While I wouldn't refuse the Hakko, I already have that model, so someone else should get it. I could really use tweezers or nippers though...
Nice clean job.

Hi, i bought hakko fx888, rated voltage 230v 50hz from Israel. But the voltage in our country is 220v 60hz. My question is, is it possible to use it in our country without having a problem?
Great video, I'm looking to buy one wanted to see it in action. Orland Park, Il
I live in Rhode Island.I enjoyed the video, I also watched your video on soldering, very helpful. I am trying to learn so I can teach my Grandson how to use an arduino. He's 12 and likes robots. Any of the products would be useful for me I'm trying to build up a workbench. Thanks for the videos they help a lot.
Nice giveaway! Newark, DE

Awesome giveaway, Washington, US
Is the give-a-way still active? I'm a retiree hobbyist and home-school teacher for my grandchildren. I could REALLY make good use of a kit like this, but it's way beyond my means due to my fixed income. I really enjoy your soldering videos and have been watching with my 12-year-old grandson. We're building an Arduino powered robot car...
good job man i need one of those

21:45. What is the cleaning solution? Alcohol? Could you do a short demo comparing the different cleaning methods?
Hi Ryan. I like the video quality of your videos. What camera do you use to record your videos? I'm located in Mesa, AZ.
That's an awesome video, I like your videos I am from PR but I am willing to pay for the shipping if I win the Hakko, I do a lot of soldering and my GC electronics die
Nice videos. Subscribed!

This video started good with a good and thorough explanation of the capabilities and settings of the Hakko solderingstation. However you've managed to completely ruin the video and miss its purpose, by fast-forwarding and sounding an awkward voice. a no-go for me.
