I couldn't resist it. From a Hakko techical note: "Lead particles will transfer themselves from the solder to the skin; that is why soap was invented."

The guts are pretty simple, and if anything inside did burn out anyone who knows enough to own a soldering station (instead of just an iron) should be able to replace it just fine. Plus, if it does die completely, you can buy a second one and still not have spent as much as on a branded Hakko 936-12. Jimmy |
