It could be exciting! 😀. The soldering iron in use here is an Antex, temperature control is by differently weighted changeable tips...Old school! never let me down, just hot off the mark performance! 👍 Great vid.

What a great timing. I was looking for a fume extractor on 11.11 to replace my pretty useless 40mm usb fan. Didn't find anything in my price range except for some no name... I don't even know how to call it, it's just 493 (yeah, Hakko clone). And it costs from $23 up to $40+. Long story short, just skipped the sale this year. Both Hakko and Kotto look and suck good. I would personally prefer Kotto just because of the better pricing and portability. Are they both 19W? As always, great review. Mostly reviewers on KZfaq just show the extractor sucking the smoke in and you have to believe that it catches everything. Even the cheapest one will suck air, it's not enough. Thank you for more thorough approach. That's exactly what makes this channel stand out. As for soldering station I'm still using JCD-8898. It's not that bad for what it costs. I'm moving quite often, so it's important to be able to fit all the tools in one bag. The station is tiny and has both an iron and a hot air gun. I'm also curious how long will it work with all the potential overheating problems.
@KeepOnTesting 3 жыл бұрын
Appreciate the feedback..many thanks! Its surprising how well the KOTTO performed considering the price point..I originally thought Hakko would walk away as the winner ..what a pleasant surprise! JCD 8898 is a nice looking station.. I really like the wall mount option it offers 👌

yes, Kotto is the winner to me too. cheap but does the job like the big boys 😎. for the soldering iron/station, my favorite (and have) is Quicko T12-942. i love it because its flexibility in terms of power source. while on my bench i hook it to a 24v power supply, but when i need to solder off the bench, i can hook it to a 4S Lipo battery, just like a TS-100 does, but it's cheaper and has much more variety of iron tips selection. 😁

Kotto utilzes just a fraction smaller carbon insert than the Hakko so they don't fit ..however, you can order a 3rd party filter and cut down to size or go to your industrial supplier to buy some charcoal filter mats and cut to size.
