Great webinar! Thanks for sharing!

A worthy successor to the excellent 951. I can’t justify upgrading because my 951 does everything I need so well.

Coming from the FX-888D, the single most thing I like about my FX-971 is the T39-B02 tip. It's suitable for SMD and a lot of general purpose soldering. An equivalent T18 tip would make the FX-888 series more useful. The closest is the T18-S4 but too pointy. I have no mental issue with conical tips.

The added features are even better after a second watch. How many pins is that new handle using? Integrated sleep timer is awesome. The software looks capable, this demo also makes me want one of those 'send it' tip thermometers.

Always wanted a Hakko but the price point was always a stopping point. I've bought maybe 15 soldering guns in the past 40 years, I got to tell you those cheap Chinese T12 soldering guns are really good, we are talking $40US for everything, including a tip. They've done test along sides of Hakko and well it was pretty even. What I think Hakko needs to do is come up with a entry level T-12 L.E.D display soldering gun with wake/sleep function in the handle like the Chinese T-12 do. The reason for L.E.D and not LCD, well most people want a single dial for the temp, not click this, pull that, click this, set the date and time, play video games, For gods sake its a soldering gun, keep you eye on the ball, It has 1 function, to heat up a tip at a specified desired point. All these new functions and go out the door. The sleep feature makes sense, having it built into the handle makes sense. One dial and no buttons other than a power switch on the front, not on the back, nobody wants it on the back, that just Hakko trying to make things look tidy and neat and the loss of functionality. Just one dial, turn left the temp goes down by 5C, turn it right and it goes up by 5C. Nothing more. It should have memory to it can start off at the last set temp. Probably some So of txt file to written and stored with 3 numeric numbers. That way you could get rid of the battery. If you don't need one get rid of it, us a eprom. Price point should be in competition with China, Yes Things are better quality made in japan and higher wages, so a $75 price point retail VS $40 Chinese T12 would be about right. Just saying you now have massive competition at a fraction of the cost, either build something for the current market, or sit back and watch it take over. What you are releasing above with the new features are features that have been on the Chinese market for a few years now, You aren't innovating anymore, you following what the Chinese market of clones are bringing to the table. If you continue to ignore the current market very possibly Hakko will be for the industrial market only, I can see it on Youtube, everyone is buying some sort of T-12 clones due to the price point , The ease of use, etc.

That is a really nice feature to not have to take the iron apart to change the tips I have the 951 love it but that is one of the things that i wish was easier.l
@pogopin
Man... This is so beautiful looking peace of equipment... Masterpiece! I am absolutely love my Fx-951, but this is what i want now, but cant buy, cause i am from Russia( But one day i will take it.
@bopapa_1979
Came to learn about the station. Stayed to see how many times he would say "bam" or "boom."
@StevenH-g7b
Does the iron sleep when in the holder, like the 951?
@milesnapue
I love this, I want one, my birthday is coming soon. Are they available to purchase yet? I'm looking forward to trying that nitrogen system as well.
@victorubaldo-u1f
What camera and lens do you use, please, model and brand of those products and where to buy them, thank you very much
@gurukantor
While not a tweezer user, it would be nice to see Hakko support a set of tweezers on the FX-971. It could be really simple... just allow the micro-tweezers to run at a bit below their max capability. Along these lines, what happens if I were to plug in a set... are they simply not recognized?
@mm0077
Great product. Could be better on the price.
@fightinirish73kk
great video great feature only problem hakko not available in europe as far as i can find
@luckywetland
Man, that's dope! What a beautiful looking piece of equipment... But, is this model kinda overkill for hobbyists?
@markthorsen2888
Just got one. I don't like that when you use the auto sleep feature there is no indication that it is sleeping such as when you press the sleep button it says SLP.
@bryancampbell4604
Was it cold in the studio?
@ronrader4798
How about a temperature knob!!! Seems the newer the Hakko, the more pain in the butt it is to change the temp. Hold this button, hit this button to change, hold this, push that. 100% bullcrap is what it is. Last time I tried to change the temp on my Hakko I was in the calibration menu, oops. Yeah, gotta get out my instruction sheet just to see how to change the temp, that should not be. Should be as simple as turning a knob. I love the performance from my Hakko products but let's try to keep the simple things SIMPLE!
@ChuddleBuggy
Hello. I purchased 2 FX-971 Stations with the FX-9701 handpiece and a set of T-39 tips. The buzzer never stops even when i have made sure the handpiece's connector is properly inserted into the Station unit, and the T-39 tips also properly and fully inserted into the handpiece handle. The display shows S-E which means something to do with the heating element of the tip (or tip not properly inserted). I measured resistance of heating element on the tip and it is at specs at 5.9ohms (close to 5.7 ohms on troubleshooting guide). I already swapped each component of the 2 sets (Station, Handpiece, Soldering tip) and the result is still the same. Any suggestions?
