MB-6582 ate my soldering iron... or ...What Soldering Iron should I get

This probably explains why most Aoyue 936's come with a replacement element included when you buy them

Mine didn't...

I noticed that the Aoyue 936A has a tilted face plate, and different grooves around it, compared to the Hakko.

As well as having the lead connected on the opposite side and a power switch on the front.

You mean like this one: http://ucables.com/ref/AOYUE-936A-SOLDERING-R91723 ?

Mine doesn't look like that, it is *exactly* the same as the hakko image I posted above, only with a different logo printed on it. Edit: oh and the connector is metal not plastic, and the silicone grip on the pen is clear, not black)

Edit: if you look at the aoyue page, mine is like the 950, but with a normal pen, not tweezers:

I get the feeling, through the name changes, case changes, distribution changes, etc, that hakko have somehow had aoyue change their devices.... (I'm guessing a legal threat?)

Ah now i get you! I found your post a little confusing, so apologies for the mix up!

I wonder can these ones still be obtained! I might be calling on you to try and verify one sometime hehe!

Would you go as far as checking to see if your heating element is ceramic to know for sure if its OEM though?  ;)

That 950 style case does look pretty identical alright.

Let the clone wars begin!

This ATTEN AT936B is the closest looking one to the Hakko 936 i could find:

What do you make of it Stryd?

Some very decent photos of the model here

There is also another model on the site, whos only difference is a lower case b? lol

And a 969A which has a grey case instead of black, not sure of the other difference:

Also, the replacement heating element they make seems to be ceramic too:

Hehehehe

Looks the same to me... Interesting it has the black silicon guard more like the real hakko, and the metal plug more like my clone...

If you wanna know the difference between 'b' and 'B' models, paste that chinese text into google traslate (don't bother trying the whole page, it's blocked on every translator I tried anyway)

LOL!

Good idea stryd, just realized if you dont have the chinese characters installed on XP, and just copy the squares, it still copies the correct ascii code somehow.

So was delighted to see it convert successfuly into Chinglish.  :D

Heres the unique features ofthe lower case b model:

  • super cost-effective, economical and practical.



  • fever four-core design, temperature stable and accurate.






    And of the upper case B model:

    • fever body temperature the use of imported materials made through the advanced technology, long life.

    • heating core all-in-one two-core design, and testing temperature when at the same time.
    • split design, small size, easy to display and save working space.
    • temperature stable and accurate. 
    • dual-core control of heat collection.
