Fnirsi or Hakko for hobbyist soldering?
I do hobbyists soldering, like soldering new joysticks to my ps5 controller pcb, DIY soldering kits, and just general pcb repair of my electronics. I hear Hakko is the gold standard for soldering irons, but this fnirsi one looks really good too. I like the carrying case the fnirsi comes with, which may come in handy because I may need to transport it. Kind of off topic but I love my fnirsi oscilloscope and have grown to like the brand.
If you can tell Im leaning towards the fnirsi and I guess Im really asking for good reasons to choose hakko instead.
Which one should I get? The hakko is $140 the fnirsi is $113.
