This is the perfect soldering iron for hobbyists. I have had my FX888D for four years now under constant abuse and use. It still holds up like a CHAMP! If you look after your tips well by leaving a small blob of solder on the tips after use, they will last for years!
Hakko is a big name brand. I am happy to recommend this to anyone but I do warn to be careful of Hakko fakes. Please do your own research as well!
