| Hakko FX888D with a variety of 5 chisel tips | Amazon | https://amzn.to/2vraGAI |
We heartily recommend the Hakko FX888D as an excellent all round soldering iron.
- Please note that this soldering iron has a fantastic reputation, and sadly this has meant that there are a lot of fakes on the market. Please buy from a reputable vendor.
- We recommend getting a range of tips, from very fine (which will give you the kind of control you need to solder small components to circuit boards), through to thick chisel tip (for heavy duty items like binding posts)
