Hakko 611-2 Dual Solder Reel Stand, Black

Stable and good construction. Id buy again if I needed one.

Excelente

I didnt realize how heavy this stand was until I received it. Its made of solid steel plates. That is so nice! No tipping over or sliding around the work area.

This is a well made high quality dispenser. Two spools allows two techs or two different size solder gauges to be dispensed. It is delivered disassembled in a flat pack with all parts indivually bagged to prevent shipping scratches and can be assembled in about 5 minutes. It has heavy duty walls .094 thick and base .125 thick, powder-coated steel. Full wrap-around rubber non-marring base locks on to the steel base and has stainless spring steel guides, the lower one can be fitted on the opposite side for two tech usage. Also has a grounding screw on the base for an ESD ground wire. The top carry handle is nicely chromed and folds. The spool axles are heavy duty ribbed ABS plastic and designed to prevent popping out but also easy to change spools, with .094 maximum side to side play.

Keeps both solder spool in one place. Do not have to search for solder

Wish I would have bought this a long time ago. Ive been spooling without one my whole life, this makes it SO much easier!

great for storing my solder and keeping it handy.

Keeps me soldering.

For years I just let my spools of solder sit on the surface of my bench. I survived and so did the solder. But there were times Id get the loose strand of highly conductive solder tangled in various things already present in the working area and the opportunity for an electrical short circuit was a high possibility. But the size solder was very small and a short would probably just melt it, acting as a fuse. But I wanted to have two diameters of solder readily at hand for some new projects and that meant even more chances of an electrical OOPS, and the larger gauge solder wouldnt melt fuse-like as easily as the small, 0.025 diameter thats been my go-to solder for years. This Hakko solder stand was discovered accidentally via a Suggested for you presentation here on Amazon. The size, two-spool capacity, previous experience with Hakko products and price made the decision to buy very easy. The stand stays put. The solder is up and out of the way of my bench surface. The stand is solid, easy to place a spool in and easy to reel in any excess solder that may invade the working area once the soldering is done. I cant complain about any aspect of the stand - it works perfect.

Nice product, the base is nice and heavy and doesnt slide around, its very well constructed but from time to time my solder wire feed will get stuck between the side of the spool and the inner wall of the holder, and I have to stop my soldering project and re-roll the excess solder line back onto the spool. Perhaps large plastic spacer washers to take up the gap would prevent this problem or if they would have constructed the unit to properly fit a full size solder spool.
