Hi,
New to this, though have been watching the videos and reading forums the last week, and still can't quite conclude! (sorry if this has come up yet again)
TO START: I'm a hobby DIY synthesiser keyboard builder (well, en-route anyway!) if that makes a difference to my decision.
I'm trying to
buy my first soldering iron. I think I've whittled it down, but am
open to suggestion.
-Hakko FX-888d -Hakko FX-951 (bit more expensive)
-Aoyue 968A+ (most expensive of the 3)
-Anything else I should consider/definitely get instead of one of the above?
It would seem the FX-888d has improved enough from the FX-888, that it's basically on-par with the FX-951?
I also noted that the main difference between the 2x HAKKO's, is
one is a Ceramic heater, the other a composite heater... How would this effect me? I like that the Aoyue is a 3in1 but may be this isn't the way to go, and I should just consider buying a heat gun etc as separates?
Thanks in advance to any input at all
