to imply that they may make knock-offs of Hakko products as their
soldering
stations appear virtually identical to those from Hakko (the 936-x models
specifically).
While the case appears to be identical to that of the Hakko, so do the
desoldering tips, the 'power supply' is something new. It appears to be a
'wall-wart' type of supply, but may be nothing more than a transformer
which allows the 120VAC unit to be used on 230V as well... Uhh... scratch
the last... you may have your choice of voltage ranges, but not both...
The specs seem to indicate that it is switchable between the two
voltages.
Additionally, the AOYUE seems to offer a number of additional tips can
accessories which would have been extra cost items from Hakko.
For the price, about $100 less that the Hakko price, it MIGHT be a good
buy. But caveat emptor...
These look like the stations and desoldering equipment sold by Circuit
Specialists under their brand name.
