How does this unit heat up so fast? Amazing! I have been using an old Weller station for many years: I replaced the thermal switch in my iron a couple years ago, but it started acting up recently. I was in a bit of a rush this time, so rather than attempt another repair I decided to try a new station. The Hakko FX888D was within my budget and had decent reviews except from those who had difficulty with temp setting, etc. While the blue/yellow coloring is not my favorite, I am very impressed with the iron/station operation. I ordered it with several different tips although I have not tried them all yet. While I somewhat miss the "click-click" of my old weller operating, I sure enjoy the performance of this station.
