I also recently purchased the same HAKKO soldering station and got me back into making cables. Great unit IMO.

For the money it it's really good and it seems to be reliable from what I read. The UI is horrible though. Horrible!

My issue with that soldering station is the thermocouple location being in the handle and not in the iron like you find on the much more expensive FX-951. Some very popular chinese soldering stations like the KSGER T-12 use the exact same iron tips as the FX-951 and perform just as good, while costing less than the FX-888D. By putting the thermocouple in the tip the PID controlled heating element can heat up to set temperature in under 10 seconds and the recovery time is almost non existent. Another, more portable iron that uses the same modern design with the thermocouple being in the tip like all high end soldering irons use would be the TS-100 (or TS-80). I went from a Hakko 936ESD which is essentially the same guts as the Hakko FX-888 but without the colorful case, to the KSGER T-12 and the difference has been larger than i could have imagined especially when using lead-free solder where you have higher temperatures and more risk of melting stuff.

Here is the TS-100.

Maybe but most people don't have the time to cherry-pick from Chinese clones du jour, and what kind of support is there? For 100 euros, I am pretty sure the Hakko 888D is a best value. Real company, big aftermarket, and support. I'm glad normal solder is still available in Europe. The day they outlaw it is the day I order 1000 kg of wire.
