| Re: hobbyking hakko 936 knock off solder station
I don't know the OEM but here is the trakpower on Tower Hobbies (The first one I was looking at - then decided to shop around as it looked "familiar")): Then I went on AliExpress and found this: This says Hakko, but who knows? Then there was this brand - A-BF: They look alike, so who knows? I suspect, as I have seen with other products, that there may actually a vendor with genuine Hakko, while others have clones that say Hakko but aren't, then others that have clones that are another brand. I know with my SkyRC lipo charger (iMax B6AC) there are genuine ones, clones that look identical, and clones that look identical but are another "brand". Figure the same goes on with the soldering irons as there are so many look alikes and similar naming. So trakpowwer may be a rebadged genuine hakko, or a clone of the hakko with it's own name....I can't tell. The only way to really be sure is to open a known genuine one and compare the internals. There are often a lot of differences. |

Ordered a couple of the ones from Hobbyking a few days ago. On backorder. hopefully not too long. Would be nice to have a quality iron in the tool box again!
