Hakko rates stability at about ±1.8°F, so the iron maintains consistent tip temperature during continuous use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull range: 50°C–480°C (120°F–899°F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStability: approximately ±1.8°F for repeatable results\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDigital display shows current setpoint for accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich iron and tips are included, and what are upgrade options?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe package includes the FX-8801 65W iron and a T18-D16 chisel tip (1.6 mm), which is ideal for general-purpose soldering and small-to-medium joints. The FX-8801 accepts the T18 tip series, and you can optionally pair the station with a higher-power FX-8806 (95W) iron when more thermal recovery is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded: FX-8801 65W iron and T18-D16 1.6 mm chisel tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTip compatibility: T18-series tips for varied profiles and sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional upgrade: FX-8806 95W iron for faster thermal recovery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the FX888DX-010 suitable for small benches and long sessions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit is compact and lightweight, measuring roughly 4.7 inches square, so it fits neatly on crowded benches and takes up minimal workspace.
