Ditto in a past life. I still a Hakko FG-100 thermometer which continues to work very well. It's amazing to me the companies which don't bother to test the temperature their irons operate at. I think they call it soldering by faith - give me J-STD-001 any day!

I have used the Hakko Tip Tester and they are very reliable. I too have NO monetary or stock interest in Hakko, just a VERY good experience with the equipment!

Here is the comprehensive tip tester that I have found to be very accurate and easy to use. It is also very repeatable. 
http://www.hakkousa.com/AHPDirect/images/FG-101.jpg. Hakko also has units that test temperature only, if that is all you need.

I have used other tip testers that had major issues with being able to get an accurate reading.

I also like Hakko irons and rework stations. In fact, the Hakko solder stations are the only ones I have found that consistently meet J-STD-001E requirements for tip temperature control. These solder stations are being used by some of my clients and come directly up to within +- 2 degrees of the set (desired) temperature. Absolutely incredible. And the temperature can be adjusted infinitely from 0 to 900 deg. F.; it is not set by the tip.
No, I have no monetary interest or Hakko stock. I've just had a really good experience with them. I would recommend them to anybody.

Subject: [TN] Soldering Iron Calibration Program

Hello all,

We are attempting to put together a calibration / testing program for our soldering irons per appendix A, A-2, J-STD-001E.
We are looking at the following piece of test equipment and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with or can make another recommendation based on experience and use.

Weller WA200:  Soldering Iron Analyzer, Solder Tip Tester http://www.hmcelectronics.com/product/Weller/WA2000<http://console.mxlogic.com/redir/?2OYqem1OrW9JBUsYMyNsS029GSY_Xjzm4HkVv5ERgrJf05YY_UU0EwDuZPt-jLuZXTLuVKVIhBYtyx854RruvZFNH2lGsKro73C3qbatQS74QnPr9IbzoArDUvf0srhdICSnxPP2dSjp9qgUKHJFXtw>

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob DeQuattro
