Hakko FX-901 Cordless Soldering Iron

The Hakko FX-901 cordless soldering iron is a fantastic choice for those who need to solder on the move. It's both portable and practical. Powered by four AA batteries, this iron can be used for 60 - 120 minutes, depending on the battery type. The maximum temperature it can reach also depends on the battery. Alkaline batteries give a high - temperature output of about 600°C (peak) but with a shorter battery life. Nickel - metal hydride batteries offer a lower temperature of around 400°C but a longer battery life. Hakko has been making top - quality soldering and desoldering tools for over 50 years. They are reliable, good - value, and work great! We use Hakko irons in production and highly recommend them. Note that this iron doesn't come with batteries. Check the 'Recommended Products' section for options.

Using the Hakko FX - 901 is easy. First, insert four AA batteries into the cartridge. The type of battery you choose will affect how long it runs and the maximum temperature. If you need high heat quickly, go for alkaline batteries, but if you want longer use, nickel - metal hydride is the way to go. When you're ready to solder, hold the iron by its slender, lightweight handle. The quick - release tip makes it easy to change if you need a different one for various applications like SMD or through - hole soldering. Remember, this iron doesn't come with batteries, so you'll need to buy them separately. Check the recommended products for the best options. After use, let the iron cool down completely. To keep it in good condition, store it in a dry place. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If the tip gets dirty, clean it gently. Refer to the user manual for more detailed instructions and the soldering tutorial to improve your skills.
