I use the Weller 80 watt (not the station) and people are always borrowing my iron due to the high wattage. The Weller station (sold by Amain) is 80 watt and adjustable while the Hakko is 60 watts. What makes the Hakko so much better other than the pretty skin? (serious question lol)
Thanks

My Weller is a 40 watt so that is probably a big part of it. However I really like the cord for the Hakko much better as well. It seems like I am constantly fighting the cord on the Weller, it is always getting twisted up on me. I know that isn't a big deal but it does get annoying.

I had used Weller 80 watt and 40 watt irons for years . Obly prob is the tips would always burn up within a year . Could never find the right tips so had to keep buying new irons . Bought the Hakko and really like the adjustment and that it heats up to temp in 30 seconds . I regret not getting one sooner .

Are there any other things I need to get for the Hakko? Replacement tips etc.. Or am I ok just getting the set.
