I'll get it from there if you're sure it's safe and genuine?!

Re: Need to get some non-crap.
I can't say. But it's the same name (Cantonmade) and they are selling the same items for the same price so I assume it's the same seller, just a different website.
Failing that, you could contact through the link I sent, ask why their store on Vendio doesn't have the right shipping, and then buy though Vendio if you would prefer that."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: Need to get some non-crap.
I done told you.
The tips and handles I got from there are legit.
.
Stop by someplace that sells Hakko tips in singles and look at the packages.
The front plastic is just the label & bar-code & so forth,,
,, but the back side plastic has this water-mark type pattern.
Not something a copy-cat is likely to spend money to reproduce.
Their packages have it and they are identical to the packaging at Frys Electronics.
[I took an empty package to Frys to compare.]
.
Granted I haven't bought a whole station from them but they are getting legit Hakko parts from somewhere and not just one or two parts.
And, that I know of, they have been selling Hakko stuff for at least 3 years.
.
If *I* were needing a new station or base that's where I'd go.
[Well, after I checked eBay for used ones anyway.]

Re: Need to get some non-crap.
They are Paypal only.
You could gripe at Paypal about the bait-switch glitch in their shopping cart but that might get their account closed instead of getting the cart fixed and then you still couldn't buy the station.
[And I couldn't get cheap tips either.]

Re: Need to get some non-crap.
It's not like I didn't research them before I recommended them ~HERE~.
-
Used to be an eBay seller under the same name. [That's how I initially found their website.]
-
They did lousy on the 5-star rating because of slow shipping times and eBay dumped them over it.
- People gave bad marks even though shipping time was clearly stated in the ad.
[People think they are going to get shit from China in 2 weeks even though the ad SAYS not, and then they bitch. - Morons!]
I've seen that happen to several other good overseas sellers. EBay is stupid!
Anyway - Read through their feedback for the PRODUCTS themselves.
This isn't some scum-bag dealer.
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...al=0&items=200
They have another ebay account but they limit it to free shipping items so they don't have the BS 5-star problem again.
And they aren't currently listing the station. [Probably because it's not free shipping.]

Re: Need to get some non-crap.
Good to know they're still there. I did buy some tips from them on eBay before they disappearedOriginally posted by PCBONEZ View Post
But yeah, it seems like their Vendio store is better as they have more stuff."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

You'd still need tips though and maybe another handle if it's not the 907.

Re: Need to get some non-crap.
Yay! The Extech MN35 MultiMeter has arrived so far I've only tested a 1.5V battery but it seems to work... I'm extremely happy about it, finally a good piece of test equipment, lol!

Re: Need to get some non-crap.
2 meters are handy if you need to measure current and voltage at the same time, or input and output etc...Originally posted by shovenose View Post(yes, 2 meters, because if I break one I don't want to put my whole operation on hold
I have 1 good digital (Fluke 77)1 good analog, and a really old vintage digital radio shack one. Keeping an eye open for a deal on a fluke 87.
You can't have too many meters.
Well, maybe you can..

Re: Need to get some non-crap.
What do you think about this "Komec 936"?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=380172520911
"We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

Re: Need to get some non-crap.
If you are happy with the Extech, that is great. Now that you have one and don't need the second one right now, this is the patience I was talking about in some of the other "what multimeter to buy" threads. If the seller shipped to Canada, I would have been all over this Fluke 16 for $10 (Buy it now).Originally posted by shovenose View PostYay! The Extech MN35 MultiMeter has arrived

Re: Need to get some non-crap.
Well obviously a Hakko ripoff but looks better than my Jaycar\Duratech (not to be confused with Duratool) ripoff, and it's 60 watts (mine is 50 watts)Originally posted by mockingbird View Post
It also has a much better plug for the iron, mine is a really stupid design that falls in half every time I unplug it.
But it's not much less in price than the Hakkos from that Cantonmade store so I don't know if there's much point really."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"
