Hakko FX888D-23BY - Digital Soldering Station

Comparison to the original analog version FX888 !

4.0

I own the FX888 analog design that preceded this digital design and it's pretty much exactly the same, except with the advantage of a nice large analog turn knob dial to set the temperature. You don't need a display since the dial has number markings. A red below the dial turns off when the iron is at temperature. I much prefer this as i can change temperature in 1 sec instead of having to fidget with a pressure button that's vertical on the face of the unit which is obviously not ergonomic. Often times in many tools going digital is not an upgrade, analog is better. Analog dials are always superior to beeping press buttons with delay and timers.
