worth every penny

5.0

I struggled with solder wick on certain repairs. So I got some no-name desolder iron from that site named after a river. That one made bad smells when plugged in and did not do a clean job. So I bit the bullet and got the FR301. Wish I bought it years ago. This makes desoldering a fun activity. Not an emotional rollercoaster as with prior methods. It makes repairs mcu faster since I don't spend 15 minutes swearing at my tools and myself afterwards. Only downside is that there is not a light visible from the back end to let you know the status of the device. There is an LED but its on the front bottom, pointing away from you. Also the little metal thing to rest the iron on is a joke.

Hakko FX888D-23BY Soldering Iron/Station/Tips

5.0

For years I have owned and used competing brands of soldering irons. Frustrations with them include obtaining correct replacement parts and having a wide range of tips to accommodate special tasks. I decided to throw the towel in and purchase this particular Hakko bundled FX888D from TEquipment because they offered this industry standard soldering station with a batch of additional tips, it is accepted worldwide as the most popular iron, and spare parts and tips are readily available. I purchased the base with the standard FX-8801 handpiece which accepts the Hakko T18 style tips that are hollow on the back end. This base assembly also accepts the Hakko FX-8802 handpiece which has N2 capability in case I ever need that, and also accepts the FX-8805 large handpiece which is great for high heat requirements and accepts both T18 and T19 style tips (I bought this as well). With this combination, I now have soldering equipment and many tips with which I can perform any soldering job from very fine SMD components to direct chassis soldering that requires massive heat. The FX-8801 handpiece heats up much faster than competing irons. Tips are easily replaced. The base unit is programmable for specific temperature settings if desired, and also allows password control of iron settings when the unit is used at a station where multiple people use it or in multiple day shifts. I am extremely satisfied with this Hakko combination. TEquipment is also a very great distributor to work with.

Comparison to the original analog version FX888 !

4.0

I own the FX888 analog design that preceded this digital design and it's pretty much exactly the same, except with the advantage of a nice large analog turn knob dial to set the temperature. You don't need a display since the dial has number markings. A red below the dial turns off when the iron is at temperature. I much prefer this as i can change temperature in 1 sec instead of having to fidget with a pressure button that's vertical on the face of the unit which is obviously not ergonomic. Often times in many tools going digital is not an upgrade, analog is better. Analog dials are always superior to beeping press buttons with delay and timers.

Great scope at a great price!

I recently purchased the Rigol DS1054Z 4-channel oscilloscope and I have to say, it has been a game-changer for my electronic projects. As someone who is passionate about electronics, I was looking for a scope that would offer me the performance I need at an affordable price, and the DS1054Z has exceeded my expectations. First off, the setup was incredibly easy, and the user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. The scope has a large, clear screen that displays waveforms beautifully and with great detail. The four channels provide plenty of flexibility to view multiple signals simultaneously, and the sampling rate is high enough to capture even the fastest signals. I also love the fact that this scope has built-in waveform measurements and math functions, which saves me time and helps me make more accurate measurements. Additionally, the advanced trigger modes are incredibly useful, allowing me to capture and analyze signals that other scopes might miss. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Rigol DS1054Z. It has all the features I need to tackle even the most challenging electronic projects, and at a price point that makes it accessible to hobbyists and professionals alike. I highly recommend this scope to anyone who is serious about electronics and looking for a reliable and high-performing oscilloscope.

I definitely should have purchased this soldering station a lot sooner. One thing about the preset temperatures, before you can access them you need to change the temperature setting mode selection to preset mode (1) and verify that the number of presets is set to 5P in the parameter settings (see the Setting mode selection section of the manual).

Great hobbyist scope for the money

4.0

The Rigol DS1054Z is simply an excellent scope for the hobbyist on a hobbyist budget. I've put this scope to good use so far, analyzing I2C, SPI, and a switch bounce issue on an old tube guitar amp. Yes, this scope is a bit older now and there are a couple of hot competitors out there (GW Instek GDS1054B and Siglent SDS1104X-U). To compete with these, the Rigol now comes with the higher end features, like 100MHz bandwidth, enabled, so it still holds its own and I am very happy with my purchase. I've read some complaints about the relay clicking noise and fan noise. All of these scopes have fan noise. You're going to hear it, but if you're used to working in an electrical lab environment, it's nothing out of the ordinary. If you're sitting at home in a quiet room with nothing else going on then, yes, it's the loudest thing in the room. My own particular gripes about the unit are (1) there's no real web interface to speak of, and the remote operation software is not user friendly and slow, and (2) the response to the controls is just a bit laggy but not terribly so. Given the age of this design compared to the newer competitors I'm not surprised. But due to these, I give it a 4 rather than 5 rating. I'm secretly hoping they'll improve the remote access with a software update, but not holding my breath, and it isn't a key feature for me. Still... great quality scope!

Excellent First Choice for RC Electric Soldering

5.0

Since involving myself in Radio Control electric planes, all my soldering jobs were done by my Local Hobby Shop. They stopped doing that and I was left without a solution. My requirements involved components with a wire size from 10-14AWG for large batteries and barrel connectors that range from 3.0-4.0mm diameters of gold-plated material. Too expensive to screw up! Especially when some plugs are encased in a silicone housing. Apply excessive heat and they will melt to the point where they become distorted and not safe to use. The LHS uses the Hakko 951 which they use on a near daily basis. A step down from that is the FX888D-23BY. After 2 months of usage, it has turned out to be a great choice. It is easy to use and amazingly effective. It makes my soldering jobs look like I am a pro. No more wasted connectors, and no more frustration. I am totally satisfied with TEquipment's price for this great little machine which is a complete soldering station for my needs. It didn't take me long to figure out how to get it going. Of course, a few YT videos, the right solder wire, and flux made my success easier to arrive at. I recommend this station to any one with similar needs as mine.

Quality Product

5.0

Quality product but you should check out soldering stations on YouTube. This technology is quite old and for the price, it's quite a lot. The soldering station takes around 25 sec or so to reach the default 700 Degrees F. It can seem like a long wait if you need to turn it off for a bit and turn it back on. As most reviewers mentioned, the interface is not intuitive at all. But regardless, I'm still pleased with the product.

As always when dealing with tequipment the item showed up before the deadline. Well packaged. The Hakko is a great little soldering station. My only regret is I didn't order one years ago, looking back at all the cheap crap I've 'made work' seems like it cost me more than what would have if I just ordered the right tool for the job. Lesson learned.

Great tool at a reasonable price

5.0

I am retired electronics design engineer and my hobbies include ham radio which involved, in some cases, building and repairing new fangled electronics (i.e. SMD and thru hole digital and analog pc bds). It became quite apparent that my old tools (e.g. soldering iron, solder sucker) were just not up to the task. So I indulged in the purchase of the Hakko FR-301 desoldering tool. Expensive for a hobbyist? Yes but worth every cent.

Very nice lab supply for the serious hobbyins

5.0

Pros of this power supply: - Clear and easy to read display - The three outputs are very convenient for my typical use of bipolar rails for opamps/etc and a 5v or 3.3v rail for microcontrollers. - The combination of rotary encoder and circular number pad makes editing parameters pretty easy. Cons: - Channel 2 and 3 share a common terminal, not a huge deal. - I would prefer a number pad with a square layout, but it doesn't take long to get used to. - The fan is a little noisy, but this is to be expected. Overall: I like it, other top contenders were a GW-Instek unit with potentiometers instead of encoders/number pad, and a Siglent unit. The Rigol was a little more expensive than either of these, but I'm happy with this choice.

Very capable scope

5.0

This scope is very capable, and moreso because it comes loaded with measurement tools thanks to the unlocked extra software straight from TEquipment. Quality build throughout. I'm older so I normally use reading glasses, and they do help with this instrument to read some of the smaller text (some of the on-screen text can be enlarged via settings). Some reviews speak to the fan being noticeable, but really, I did not think it was noisy at all - just a light rushing fan sound like you'd expect. Being lazy, I uses Auto a lot, which is a nice feature. Although feature packed, it will still make a good scope for the beginner to learn on - everything is there. For me, I am learning a lot in the world of digital scopes since I come from using older analog scopes. For new users, I recommend the Quick Start it's a great way to walk-through the buttons and commonly used features features.

Compared to a 4 channel Instek

4.0

Getting my new Rigol with options bundled included I was eager to see the options. With the usual new equipment jitters, I was pleased to see they were all installed and I didn't have to do any downloading, etc. I wanted to see how the Rigol stacked up. From a Youtube review I knew the blue and green traces were similar. They are. The green I would say is teal but practically, light blue. However the 2 "blues" are distinguishable so not a problem. The pink I call purple. Also from a review it was known the font sizes of letters are small. They are. Some are quite small such as measurement data. It may be a problem. Not so good, I like the looks seeing an actual unit rather than pictures. From pictures I had thought it had a poor style to the design. Sharing a common control for vertical didn't pose much of a problem. Though at times switching trigger and back to which vertical channel I wanted did seem to be a lot of fiddling. A few cons. The select switch slips a lot making for a wrong selection. I talked to a guy at Rigol and he says he gets that a lot. He says muscle memory comes into play. I suppose. Also it's a hard press. Mechanically I wonder how long that switch will hold up. In acquisition the manual led me to believe I had a choice other than sin(x)/x. Apparently not, talking to Rigol. But the manual is for the 1000 series. Maybe so on other scopes. The screen appears smaller with the left menu. For holdoff ranging my Instek is better. I'm spoiled. The holdout is good though. For pros I like having hi res. I can see differences using it. While maybe old hat nowadays I think it's a great feature to have. Also Pattern triggering is potentially very useful. There are several other triggers I didn't have. Also in Math the option of being able to perform logical operations is exciting. In general usage the triggering is fine as is using different memory depths. While writing a review not a comparison, I say my Instek is the better performer for ease of use and functionality and the Rigol has more versatility. Right now, being a new scope for me, the Rigol is my main interest.

5.0

The reviews were good on this desoldering tool so I expected it to work, but it surpassed my expectations. It makes desoldering fun instead of frustrating. It works just like you would expect. The tip works like a soldering iron with a hole in the middle - you hold it on the pin you want to desolder until the solder melts, then pull the trigger and it sucks all the solder off instantly. This tool is a real keeper. I considered buying one of the cheap ones from another vendor, but after using the Hakko, I'm glad I paid for a real professional tool. It pays to spend a little more when something really works like it should. I highly recommend it. I bought the kit with all the tips and the stand and I'm glad I got everything so I'll have what I need.

Well worth the investment

4.0

I bought this tool to desolder some components from multi-layer PCBs where I was finding my other spring-solder suckers were not working well.. This tool is really good for that. Its almost makes it fun to do desoldering. It safely removed my micro-switches and other components from my multi-level PCBs with NO Damage. And it was fairly quick to remote these components — those I did get the occasional lead that required me to reflow solder into the eyelet, and then desolder again. But even so — it did a super job doing this. It has four heat settings. I had to used setting 4 for the multi-layer PCBs. I also removed quite a number of burned out LEDs from a single layer PCB. Setting 1 was adequate for this. This was where it was really “fun” to desolder, as it only took about two seconds per leaded to de-solder, and quite literally the LEDs DROPPED from the PCB after I desolder red them, and the resulting PCB pads remained in MINT condition. I was really impressed. I didn’t find the unit got too hot too hold, and it was lightweight, and comfortable to hold. The only thing I would suggest to people considering buying this, is to make sure you buy one of Hakko’s drill cleaning bits when you get this unit. The poker that comes with it will not always clean the desoldering tube and it might become totally clogged. However if you have the cleaning drill, it is relatively easy to clear up solder that might be blocking the tube. Over all, I would highly rate this.. I wish I had purchased this years ago. It would have made it so much easier for me!

I’m thrilled with this scope, after three weeks of ownership. I’m using far more of the advanced features than I anticipated. In this price range, I hadn’t been even thinking of targeting needs like RS232 decoding and triggering, SPI, I2C etc. But being able to cross reference serial comms from my Arduino back to the PC with what’s going on with the downstream electronics has been amazing. I’ve also been using the third and fourth inputs on the scope to give programmatic triggering of the scope from my Arduino - which helped me track down a poor clock signal in a project I was building. The product builds overall feels very high quality. Very solid, reasonably heavy. Probably the only negative is that the entire width of the screen can’t be used to see the signal, but that’s a pretty minor concern, the screen is already quite wide. Overall, this is a 10/10 product

I got this as a beginner oscilloscope as I no longer have access to one from school (covid). I'm very happy with it and haven't encountered anything that I"m not able to do. I'm sure I'll upgrade in the future but it might not be for a while considering how happy I am with this one.

Outstanding Scope For The Money

This is a fantastic hobby level scope. Many features, most of which will rarely be used as a hobbyist but they are there none the less. Interface is pretty easy to use and well laid out for the real estate available. This is my first digital scope and I'm glad I went with Rigol the first time around.

Nice solder station kit. Combo kit came with extra tips (good selection!) Should read the manual first to figure out how the controls work, but you can just set the temp and forget it if you're doing simple soldering. Perfect for hobbyists, makers, amateur radio, etc. Simple for younger users, too.

Highly Recommended Desoldering Tool

5.0

If you have ever watched someone use a manual desolder pump and soldering iron you know the pains of desoldering. Besides the snail like pace, broken pads and traces occur with frequency, especially on older boards. I recently picked this one up and have already desoldered multiple ICs and components with ease on vintage boards. Just remember to use the included cleaning rods if you notice its not pulling up the solder or the end looks sealed.

Unbelievable hobby scope: I've barely tapped the capabilities of the unit, but it does all the basic things you would expect of an oscilloscope effortlessly and very well. The value is incredible. I am enticed by some of the features on the higher end scopes, but for as infrequently as I would use them, this is a sweet spot on a price/performance curve and an absolute bargain. Considering the only reason I am likely to use 4-channels is because they are there, the higher bandwidth of the DS1202Z-E might have been a better choice in the long run, but I don't know how I could have gone wrong with either.

Professional Quality

5.0

Excellent professional quality tool. Unit comes with a storage case and options for a wide variety of tips. Tip changes are made with a very effective accessory tool and cleaning the chamber is intuitive and easy. The tips need to be stamped for better identification. A minor inconvenience. The vacuum is strong and the adjustable heat settings are more than adequate for most all projects. The included tip stand functions with the tool laying on the bench. Not as convenient and takes up precious bench space. The addition of the Hakko 633-02 can be incorporated for holding the tool in the vertical position for storage. A well made solid feeling tool. I like it!

The De-soldering tool performs above expectations. Powerful suction and adjustable heat. The additional tips available make the tool extremely versatile. The only suggestion is the lack of recognizable size markings on the tips. The tool performs marvelously with a flexibility of settings that challenge your imagination for the 'perfect" settings/tip for each situation that arises. The cost and quality of the instrument puts it in the professional tool category. The deluxe setup includes the 633-02 Stand to store the tool upright instead of using the (included) tip rest with the tool lying down. I like it!

This is my first de-soldering tool. I researched many de-soldering tools before making my purchase and even though this tool had great reviews I was still skeptical. Now that I have used it for a while I can`t imagine being without it. It very easily and cleanly pulls up the solder and cleaning the collection chamber is fairly easy too. I also love that it is not another a big box sitting on my bench. I haven`t tried an extended length tip but I suspect they will work well.

Better than I expected

5.0

I went to trade school for electronics repair a couple decades ago. We learned to use solder wick and cheap solder suckers. I've been using those for years. I knew these desoldering irons existed but I thought the solder wick was fine (it does help that I have a nice JBC iron). Well I saw this in use on Youtube channel Mr Carlson's Lab and I decided to give it a try and WOW! I've used it to repair several items. I replaced some high current relays yesterday and I put this to power 3 out of 5 and I don't even think I needed to turn it up that much. It melted that stuff like butter. The vacuum function works really well. The only other desoldering iron I have owned in the past was a Radio Shack one many years ago that cost somewhere between $25 and $50 and that was totally useless. I can't compare this product to any other actual decent products. But for the price I doubt other brands would stack up. I do recommend getting a better stand. I don't really enjoy laying the iron on its side with the "stand" (more like tip protector) it comes with. But it does more or less work.

Do yourself a favor and get a quality soldering iron like this Hakko. The base station is heavy and solid, it is well made, and even the stand is made of metal, decently heavy, with rubber non-slip feet. So it's not going to slide all over the place on your bench or get easily knocked over. The soldering iron itself has similar quality, and Hakko irons/tips are so good, there are a whole ton of cheap knockoff versions out there!

Good enough to buy two

I was happy enough with this that I eventually bought two of them in total. It's just a solid lab power supply with three programmable outputs. Not a lot of excitement, which is what you'd want in a power supply. The user interface is decent although many complain about the encoder wheel to set values. It could definitely be more streamlined, but you get used to it. The only part of the UI that I found almost unusable was the timer functionality, where you can set it to step through different voltage and current limits. It may have improved in later firmware revisions, but it was very unclear where the sequence was supposed to stop, and using the prefab templates seemed to not work at all. However, most people will probably never use this functionality, or will automate it externally with LXI etc.

Good standard iron

5.0

A good "standard purchase" iron, this one has been serving me well for quite a while, as well as a great many others. My only complaint is the user interface and how easy miscalibration is, which caused me to erroneously set the calibration temperature versus the set point temperature on more than one occasion. That in turn caused me to buy the Hakko FG100-2 tip thermometer to recalibrate the station, which is more than double the cost of the station itself! (But worth it, in any case.) If I had to do it again though I would probably buy the Pace ADS200; not because there is anything wrong with the Hakko station, which is really pretty good, but just because the Pace is that much better without being unreasonably priced like some of the JBC/Metcal equipment.

Super Value!

5.0

Came from factory with all options permanently enabled except for 100MHz. A software update fixed a "2 detents to change" encoder issue (in general, mechanical encoders are notoriously difficult to integrate, and have really bad wear issues). Text on the screen is a bit small for my old eyes, fan is a bit loud, the FFT could be more responsive and useful, the control panel and screen are rather busy, but beyond that I don't have anything negative to report. Came with four 1x/10x probes that work fine, boxed well for shipment. For what it is and can do it's a tremendous bargain!

Outstanding Value

5.0

It's not a LeCroy, but this is an outstanding value in a scope! At the current price, especially with the included software bundle, there is probably nothing else on the market which can compare. I'm very happy to have it on my hobby bench. The menu structure is a little quirky in places, but easy to learn. The front panel is layout is pretty good. The response time is fine for hobby work but would be a little slow if I were in a big hurry on a commercial bench. The included manual is really basic, so if you have questions be prepared to hunt around online for answers. My only real complaint is the somewhat touchy selector knob. It's too easy to overshoot the desired setting, but it's just a minor annoyance.

FR-301 - excellent tool w/one easy-to-fix issue

5.0

I used my new Hakko FR-301 desoldering gun for the first time yesterday. I was very pleased with the performance of the gun. It is comfortable to use and does a really good job of cleaning out via holes, leaving through-hole component leads free to drop out. To save their tips from oxidizing and making them difficult to wet with solder, I typically turn irons off while doing other operations until I am ready to use them again. The FR-301 comes up to temperature quickly which facilitates this. The only complaint I have with the unit is that the power-on indicator light is on the wrong side of the handle. The indicator on the FR-301 is not visible when the gun is parked in its stand. It would be better to have the indicator visible from any vantage point at any angle, or at the very least somewhere on the back, like perhaps on or around the power switch itself. As it is now, you have to remove the unit from the stand and turn it around to veiw the indicator. It could be brighter too. Presently, it is rather dim and difficult to see. The FR-301 is, otherwise, an excellent tool. You may want to pass this information on to the manufacturer. Thanx, G. Knoedl

Excelent Power supply with built in turbine

4.0

I got this power supply over a year ago and it is a solid performer on my workbench. It's used for hobby applications and I never had issues with it. I mainly use it from the front panel but tested some simple setups in LabVIEW in combination with the DM3068 DMM and a DS2302A scope...no issues. It took a little while to get used to it but now I really like the user interface. The huge complaint is the build in fighter jet turbine. I thought the DS2302A scope is loud, after I installed this power supply I learned the scope is whisper silent. I don't know how you can design bench equipment that is designed to sit in front of the user which is so noisy. Yes it's not a pricy power supply but the efforts to minimize the noise aren't too pricy either. My unit is out of warranty now and I will definitely look into alternative fans that reduce the nose without loosing air flow. Other than the noise complaint this is a very nice power supply for the price.

Great tool for the money!

I just retired so now electronics is my hobby and not a profession. I'm pretty old school so I'm comparing this scope to my trusty Tektronix 465 100 Mhz scope. Happily, the Rigol is very easy to use right out of the box and all of the common essential functions are still accessed through knobs and buttons. There are a bunch of menu driven options - not my favorite way to set up gear - but even those are easy to navigate. I've heard complaints about all modern digital scopes crashing (anything that's software driven will crash after all) but I haven't experienced any problems with mine. I sure don't need all 4 channels all the time but how can you go wrong at this price? Most of my applications are audio (I build analog synthesizers) so 50Mhz is more than enough bandwidth for what I do. This is my third purchase from TEquipment and as always it has been a great experience. If you only need 50Mhz of bandwidth, you can't go wrong with this scope.

I recently received my DS1054Z, a solid introductory scope. Affordable, feature packed, compact (compared to the legacy analog beasts I am more familiar with), I expect this to serve well for my purposes.

Worth the price

5.0

This is a very usable and affordable scope. The user interface is very intuitive and is easy to pick up, and is for the most part reasonably responsive (not lightning quick, but usable). It does all the basic things I expect in an oscilloscope right, and I would highly recommend it. I have not tried using the PC interface yet or played around much with the serial decode options. Pros: 1. I really like the deep memory and 4 channels. For what I do this is more useful than very high bandwidth/sample rate. 2. The UI for basic things is fully functional; fine/coarse resolution adjustments, centering, and cursors. The single set of vertical control knobs took a little adjusting to, but I wouldn't consider this detrimental. This is by far the biggest pro for me. 3. The base seems reasonably solid, and I don't have any issues pushing buttons. 4. While I don't use the advanced features that often, it's nice that they're there for when I do need them. Cons: 1. The math function is main exception to being "reasonably responsive" I've noticed so far. It just takes more time for it to update compared to everything else. 2. I don't know how usable the FFT feature is. It does seem to allow you to use the full memory* or just the on-screen display data, but I have noticed a few quirks: - When I have a really large time base, it doesn't let you use the full memory anymore (seems > 100ms/div is the limit?) - You can't display only the fft; you either get ~2/3 a screen of the fft, or the fft is layered underneath whatever channel on the full screen - You can only have a linear frequency axis - There are some strange limits on the frequency axis scale. It makes probing "low frequency" modes nearly impossible (low as in few kHz). For example, I couldn't even get a nice fft of the built-in 1kHz probe test signal. 3. Boot time is longer than I'm used to, but I've also mostly only played with old DSO's and analog scopes, so perhaps this is something associated with modern feature-full scopes? In any case, it's not too much of a burden since all I have to do is turn it on and leave it on at the start of the day when I want to use it. 4. While adding measurements is super easy, I have not really found any good way to remove them (there's some obscure method by going through the measurements menu). With statistics off the measurements don't take up much screen real estate, but it would be nice if the left menu buttons used for turning measurements on would instead toggle them on/off. I would consider these all minor issues for me since from past experience I very rarely use the math functions, and I have a PC accessible right next to my scope so I can do proper Fourier analysis by exporting the data.

Worth the price. Good.

5.0

This scope includes many features, which are very useful. Also, the free software makes it greater, and it worth the price. The four channels with four different colors make it easy to use. Many math operations including an FFT is really nice. Its pretty easy to get the hang of the scope pretty fast. After a one day, I had most of it down, but there are still a few options buried in menus that I seem to keep forgetting where they are and have to look it up. It was a little confusing that photo #5 on this site for the DS1054Z shows the back of the scope with 2 sources, that don't actually come with the DS1054Z, only a higher more expensive model. On that same note, neither Tequipment nor Rigol actually give you a full list of all features for this specific scope or any other, but instead, the features are lumped in with the entire DS1000z series, so that you don't know for sure what you are really getting. There should be a complete list of all features (ie. all of the Math functions) for each scope of this series either on this site of Rigol. If they are all the same then have one list, and at least say what's different about each scope. I also really liked the ability to put the entire screen onto my PC screen and control most of the functions with the included USB and the free software. But, its a little cumbersome getting all the software because of the hoops you have to jump through before you get it all loaded and working, specifically the surprising requirement of IVI, (Interchangeable Virtual Instrumentation), a set of standards for test and measurement instrument drivers. Even though it was all free it was a lot to go through to get it all running. In the end, Fast shipping, and easy to contact both Tequipment and Rigol technical help was a plus. I recommend this product.

Can't be beat for the price

Works great on everything I have desoldered so far. Excellent heat retention/regeneration. No waiting for reheating for rapid use. The solder filter tank are easily removed for cleaning. I did also buy the nozzle kit but have only used the included 1.0mm nozzle to date. The Hakko 633-01 stand is recommended versus the little metal "stand" that comes with the unit.

Good Iron Given the Cost

4.0

I’ve used this iron for a few years now and find it to be a huge improvement over the old 30W radio shack iron. Heats up quickly and is a decent iron for through-hole component soldering. It does struggle a bit on ground planes or speaker terminals (large thermal masses). Overall it represents good value given its low cost.

Amazing Power Suppply

5.0

The power supply is very intuitive and easy to operate. I have used it now for a couple of years to test my circuit builds. Putting a limit on the output current (which is easy to set) saved my builds a couple of times. The only critism I have would be the noise from the cooling fan - but this is a minor complaint. Overall I’m pleased with the purchase.

Very useful repair tool

5.0

The fastest and easiest way to effectively desolder through hole components without causing damage to the PCB. Even though the tool is not too expensive it comes from a solid name brand and will last for many years.

DS1054Z Digitial Scope Review

5.0

Did my research before purchasing. Great value for hobby and work. An amazing tool in a small package. Love the built in features. Yes, the fan could be less noisy as noted by many customers but it does not bother me . Can highly recommend.

Good quality, updates worth it. PC so so

5.0

The updates came already pre-install from factory, very good quality for the probes, been testing it in a couple of circuits and works as expected. The connection for the PC via USB to "setream" the osci is very laggy.

Got the PSU yesterday and so far the quality is very good. The PSU is a little bit heavy and bigger respect of what I expected.

Good value for money

4.0

I am mostly Audio gear and I have been looking for a scope since my old '50s/60s era Tektronic scope failed to fire up. Dave Jones at EEVblog did a good job of reviewing this scope and I must agree for the price it is good value for money. The day after I bought this scope, I received notice that I had won an equipment auction for 2 more scopes (the notice was delayed otherwise I would not have purchased the Rigol DS1054Z at 50 MHZ) So now I have a Tektronics TDS420A (200 MHZ) and a LeCroy 9314M (400 MHZ) to compare against. All 3 machines are 4 channel. Both the Tek and LeCroy came well outfitted with software (they came from the closed Boeing factory I used to work at, Aerospace does not skimp on options :P ) and speed of the machines aside, the make good marks to compare against though both are digital front ends with CRT displays. I am an old fart and I tend to prefer the weight and solid feel of the old gear. The Rigol was purchased under the bundle program but when I entered the codes to activate the software my finger slipped an I entered the wrong SER# by one number. I contacted Rigol and customer service told me to check the installed options, everything should be turned on. I checked and it already had everything turned on. This was from the factory so is it now standard for everything to be on? IDK but it is nice. The machine appeared to be new in the box and not a return from another customer. The Rigol menu structure is easy to use and aside from a few odd choices for button names vs what they do, it is pretty natural to use. The probes seem a bit light but when you consider that the scope is 50 MHZ they are good enough to not need any upgrades right away. The Rigol does feel light and built to a budget but remember I am used to 20# to 30# machines intended for commercial industrial use in the '90s and cost many thousands of $ at the time, .... so there is that LOL. If I had to go on location for a call, I would pick up the Rigol, it just is a lot easier to take with you. I am having a hard time adjusting to the digital display and I do prefer the CRT displays of the other units even when you consider they are monochrome VS the color display on the Rigol. I do miss the auto detect for probes on the Rigol but as long as you remember to set 1 or X10 in the software, it isn't a big deal. Is the Rigol the Be all, End all perfect machine for everyone? Well no, and no machine at any price is. I would have given it 4.5 stars but that was not a choice so I gave it 4.
