If it says 240VAC input, then that's what it needs. A lot of time it would be hot on the brown & blue to get 240VAC. So get the correct input voltage, or get a 220VAC line (most homes have the ability for 220VAC single phase power.) | |

Larger equipment has a transformer that can be "re-tapped" meaning, use different connections on the line side of the transformer. Likely what you have can't be retapped, it would need a new power supply, which is most of the cost of the unit. I guess you could use a buck/boost transformer, but is likely a couple hundred $$, way more than the unit costs new. Last edited by Charlie-III; 11-04-2012 at 02:00 PM. Reason: Fixed a few typos. | |

A smaller tip is much better for smaller connections. The station I bought was inexpensive (sorta) and has been working well. Better than my "single heat" pencil. | |

I love my Hakko, but my buds don't want to spend the money on one and this looks just like the Hakko. Do the Hakko tips fit it ?

long story i know.. when i met my now wife.. we got an apartment.. i grew up on name brand stuff... my wife went shopping ... i came home to a cubbard of white boxes with a blue band.. said ... NO FRILLS... i was like WTF... yes she is right... frosted flakes were the same thing.. mac and cheese was the same thing.. chereos were the same thing.. but I LIKE NAME BRAND.. and spend more for it... but in times like then.. i dealt with it... so I am cheap ... but buy great stuff when i can get a deal.... i say hakko if u must... or knockoff for now.... try a knockoff if you dont solder much... if it dies.. up to you on buying another knockoff or name brand.... | |

I agree, my fridge is full of walmart brand everything (except ranch and cheap beer, a man has to draw a line somewhere). But when it comes to tools, you get what you pay for. I have not used the knock off, but I did buy a knock off from harbor freight a few years back. It looked the part, but did not produce. BUT, I think people have been happy with this one. I picked my hakko up on sale for $66 locally, so for the extra money I had it today.

FYI - I went to the link in the first post and a message on the side of the screen said something buying it for $14. I it the buy now and it took me to my cart and viola. I didn't buy it but wish I would have. It's not letting me get it for that price now. I didnt buy it because of the $15 shipping and it's on back order.
