EEVblog #1063 - Weller WE1010 vs Hakko FX888D Soldering Station

hi we're going to take a look at a new temperature controlled soldering station from Weller it's the W II 1010 not to be confused with the WT model or WX or something other models that they've got which a higher price this is actually a new one which came out a couple of months ago - not much if any fanfare at all really and I believe it's only sold in the North American market at present and I actually got this one from digi-key and the good thing about it is that it is low cost it basically undercuts their existing 50 watt model which was the WR e SD 51 and that one's been around a long time which was a 50 watt solder in station and a lot of people liked it and swear by it and all that sort of stuff some people don't like it but this is a new one which is actually cheaper than that this one I got this for about I think it was a hundred and eighteen dollars on special but it's about 120 I think it digitated so hundra dand 30 now a bit it basically puts it on par with the venerable hakko fx-888 inch entry level I and buy a lot of people but it's 70 watts as opposed to 50 it's a funky new digital readout form for ass nice small form-factor so thought we'd take a look at it and compare it to an FX triple ad because I didn't have a D model so I went out and got one this is going to be a 240 volt model as opposed to the 110 volt model I have to run it from a transformer but that won't make any difference because the actual wire 70 watts is not derived from what mains voltage you use it's derived from the power driver inside the thing um so let's do it kind of like a little shootout between these two and see what's what I mean the FX triple ad goes for about a hundred and ten to 120 dollars US dollars depending on where you get it from it's obviously can be more expensive in other countries like Australia and things like that but they're basically let's say they're on par in our price oh look shrink wrapped for our protection both of them come very well packed by the way within the purpose design corrugated boxes so no worries there now of course both heyco and Wella are two huge industry names been around for a very long time my first soldering station was a heyco nine to six and then they graduated to the 936 and then they went to this new funky look FX a triple eight here which I've got here and then the FX triple 8d with the digital readout and well of course I started with their traditional wire fixed temperature Curie point tip and that actually used the Curie point effect inside the tip so you get different temperature chips and to change the temperature you change the tip but of course I don't recommend anyone get a fixed temperature soldering station if you're serious about your electronics at all you should at a minimum I recommend the FX triple 8d which is you know at that sort of you know for a hundred and ten bucks you should be you shouldn't be skimping on your solder and on you should at least spend that amount of money on a good temperature controlled station but of course I've done a video on like a cheap as chips like $25 hako ripoff hako 936 ripoff that you can get and it's kind of okay you know if you're really strapped for cash then that's okay but if you want the genuine deal then you know pony up like a hundred and ten hundred and twenty bucks for something like this so basically the hakko comes with a 65 watt iron and the Weller comes with a 70 watt iron so you know I'm gonna call them pretty much equivalent in that respect but technically the led Weller does have an extra five watts there but let's take a look at the case the haigo is some people hate it some people absolutely detest this but it actually was designed by style by a famous industrial designer I believe I'll find details on that and put him in there you go it's even got the dudes signature on their design Tasha looky kit oh I have no idea but yeah it's got somebody's signature so you know bit of prides gone into it and I sort of come to like it I didn't like the color scheme at first but look it's it's small and narrow and tall and doesn't take up much based on your bench and that's what you want the Weller actually takes up much more footprint including the stand as a slightly bigger footprint as well but the hakko has a fixed power cord on it which I don't like the Willa has standard IEC power cord on it I think that's technically better but you pay a price in terms of a bigger unit I don't really like the color in the Weller I kind of find it disturbing sort of pale awkward type color now as far as the connectors are concerned I mean you shouldn't have to take them off too many times but if you're moving your iron around I don't know you might your hako has your traditional what is that six pin din there and it feels like a cheap Dicky din connector I've never liked it they've had that since my original iron the 96 from like 30 years ago the Weller uses a also a din connector is plastic instead of the metal a shell but at least it has a proper spin lock it feels better the hakko just feels you know how you do and it's just sliding around in there and the Weller actually there you go it locks in place it's still a bit Dicky but it just feels a bit better yeah slight edge to the will as for the iron stand itself the hakko is the clear winner and not only does it come with I prefer the sponges with the split in this but it also comes with your steel wool cleaning stuff and that goes in there and you can just clean your tip like that beautiful and it feels solid you know it feels solid and stable and it's really quite nice the only downside is that there's really I mean you can put your tips in there you spare tips in there but that's you know it's it's not great but apart from that tip storage it is absolutely brilliant I like it the Weller on the other hand is like a throwback to the 1970s it's got this stupid and you know two part and this just slips in the top with the stupid spring thing I always hated these they're horrible it just feels feels Dickie it it doesn't even sit flat I don't like it at all I guess the only saving grace is that it's got spaces for your tips here but that's about it clear winner for HECO all right now let's have a look at the pencils that come with them the Weller has the wept 70 23 volts at 70 watts and the hakko is the FX 8800 126 volts at 65 watts so in terms of nominal power capability the weather Weller has the edge there the weather is also cheaper as a replacement iron at prices do vary but I've got say from the same place basically fifty five US dollars and like 70 over seventy dollars replacement for the hakko but these things don't fail all that often but it's good to know they're basically got the same grip length to tip so you know you put your fingers here and the distance is around about the same I've got to say I prefer the Weller in terms of like that rubber it's got the ridges around there it just it feels a bit better the hikers always been it's okay there's nothing wrong for hiko I mean you're still not been using it for a long long time and it's fine but I kind of I think I prefer the Weller it's a bit thinner as well compared to the hakko the willow also has a plastic spindle for the tip like this so to actually get it off is it should be easy I haven't tried to do it while it's hot but in theory that should be easier than the all-metal one used on the hakko like this so they basically are clamp exactly the same way like that but the way that the tips attached very different so if we have a look at the hey go up to the top here you slide the tip off and you can see the ceramic heating element inside there and you've got to be careful not to hard damage these of course when you take them apart and it's just got the hollow tip which just slides over that and the Weller actually is different it's once again a hollow tip there but you can't actually see so I don't know the we were just like and that just moves around it there the well just seems a little bit Dicky I but hey as long as the performance and reliability is there which remains to be seen then okay anyway it's just different now as far as the supplied tip goes the hey goes on top here it's supplied with a conical tip and I hate conical tips just don't use these get yourself a nice chisel a couple of different sizes all points and the Weller here might look like it has a conical tip as well but it's actually the et a series tip which is actually a 1.6 millimeter chisel tip and you might see that if we heat it up and clean it up a bit better but trust me so I'm gonna say that the Weller has the better supplied tip now the Weller actually uses the et series tips and these are also compatible with the WASD 50 I'm the older one but basically not compatible with any further irons in wellas range that I'm aware of none of your higher-end professional ones and your hiko's use the T 18 tip and they're available everywhere and they're even the hey go is even backward the latest one is still even although not officially backward compatible with the original 900 M tips which I had you know back in not only the nine three six iron but the nine two six going back like thirty years they still work they still kept the same tips so but the TA Dean's do work and their performance is are better in the latest iron so you should be using the T 18 tips it doesn't matter which I you've got do not buy them on eBay do not because you'll get the fake ones and buy them from a reputable official Weller or hako supplier there's nothing worse than crap quality one hand you know imitation tips made in Mexico versus made in Japan all the best stuffs made in Japan and in terms of like economics using of course the Weller one is actually longer but thinner the Weller one has a much better feeling I could fondle that all day much better than the hakko when there's nothing wrong with the hakko it's just that the Willer with its rubber up here and it's nice strain relief at the end just feels like a better quality I am NOT by a huge amount but anyway um and they're both about a similar sort of weight but the longer Weller actually could maybe get in the way a bit more I don't know I don't really like this hugely long ones but I have not used this in anger yet and I think the Weller has a thinner sort of lighter more flexible cable on it than the hiko's it's it's still you know a nice and flexible but it's just a little bit thicker and I don't know it feels feels like the Weller doesn't get in the way as much but there's not much in it and I think both of them have pretty much a similar center of gravity just over where you actually grip the thing which is probably it's hard to tell with the cable but it's probably where you want it yet both of them a fairly were equally balanced I'd say although I could imagine some people preferring that longer Weller I and it just gets the cable out of the way like further away from the job at hand than the hakko which tends to like just flop right down at the end like that whereas the well I just aid goes out a bit further so if you don't like your cables in the way the well is probably a better choice C and the hakko is made in Malaysia designed in Japan of course they're a Japanese company and the Weller is made in Mexico designed and engineered in Germany hi to all my German viewers and both of them do actually have the earth to tip so yeah just like don't solder live stuff they're both the same so that's what you expect awesome by far the best part of a new soldering iron oh you get a brand new sponge oh yeah baby look at that ah watch that all day you just don't get the same excitement from the heck oh sorry hmm alright let's pair up both irons for the first time I don't like the hey go switch on the side of it's always kind of bugged me so anyway let's switch them both on much bigger road to sleep at dopey with some people like the lead display that there we go we're heating up we're heating up don't know what it's heating up to that's got 7:20 our bloody Fahrenheit garbage anyway sorry they're not equal in terms of we've got Celsius vs. Fahrenheit whatever it's set to I think they take well the new tip the new tip smelt whoo yeah come on I think the yeah the hakko is already at 350 Celsius and the hakko it looks like well he goes the winner so the 350 Celsius is equivalent to 662 Fahrenheit on here and just replaying the footage there it does it was two maybe three seconds quicker the hakko so slight edge there according of course to the temperature on here but these are both quality ions I'm sure they sense the temperature very well that's their job now after heating up and cleaning that you can hopefully see the chisel tip on the Weller it's a 1.6 millimeter as far as changing the temperature goes very obvious on the Weller it's got an up/down button there we go oh that velocity is really probably faster anyway 660 - there you go so you saw that there was a little bit of a time out there before it actually went to the back to the sensitive display I don't know why they couldn't have used they kept the temperature up there and and adjusted the one down here I would I would have kept that sense in up the on the primary display there anyway they've decided not to let's see if we turn it off does it go back to 662 or do you have to store it let's have a look yes it does nice so without reading the manual I'm going to press the Menu button here and see what we can do to men I would say that's the auto standby yes it goes into standby to save your tip of course if you leave it running at that temperature all the time you know if you're not using the thing but then how does it determine there's there's no sensor on the iron itself so I don't know maybe at eight senses the temperature drop by you know because as soon as you do a solder joint it's going to do that I'm just going to leave it see if it times out as far as the manuals go this is the Weller one here and that's for the we1 the web 70 and the pH 70 and worldlets that's it like that and the specs that's it I mean everything else is the other language and if we have a look at the high coat the hakko is even though it's just like that single sheet like this I like that it doesn't you know it's just another language on the back no this much more comprehensive initial setup all that sort of stuff changing the set temperature how to do all that kind of stuff and the performing temperature adjustment restriction on setting changes password function maintenance troubleshooting guide tips tiles you get nothing of that the Willer does actually have a pictorial thing and they've got the edge scanning the barcodes okay that's a bit jazzy but they got the wanky little diagrams or must be set back fifty millimeters from the back of the bench tick and plug it in et series tips et phone home but that's basically it so menu goes stand by offset Fahrenheit Celsius and lock because you want to sometimes you want to lock the temperature but most people wouldn't and yep there we go to my I'm not sure when it started us too busy recording the other thing but yeah after sure enough after the two minutes it's gone into sleep mode and it's going down I don't know what it goes down to but of course you can set that time two minutes that's ridiculous but you can set that up to 99 minutes so if I take that out the stand of course it's still going it's still going so like there's basically nothing I can basically nothing I can do the start that again like that's just alright here we go no it's coming back up it's obvious we sensed something I don't know I jeez that's not great is it so yeah because these aren't like you know three or five second head up irons like your professional your JB C's and your paces and your met cows and all those you know like really you know high-end $500,000 irons I don't heat up in cup seconds you can't this like para function is great like if you forget it like overnight you leave it on and then you know which is fine but not for like just general daily operation and stuff like that see you're better off sitting do that to either off if you can or ninety nine minutes anyway let's change that to Celsius because well that's nice let's change all the way with LBJ ninety nine can you actually set it yep there we go turn it off now I've set it to 99 minutes 99 s decent alright there we go I assume we can go like that yep so offset maybe that's a calibration that must be calibration there you go so degrees Celsius lock Oh woot so it's a good thing this menu system is relatively easy because well haven't figured it all out yet but because it's not in the manual so there you go like and you saw when we pair up it's actually got three presets there but it looks like um well I don't know how you would do you just hold it down like no no that's the timeout offset all right you can't just hold it down like that hmm I don't think it's got any presets so let's put the Willer on the sponge test here we go and we should see that temperature drop there we go very substantially this is what aliens do of course I've only only got so much thermal mass Wow that's going ridiculously low is it so this is the I do like the update rate on that but that's just nuts all right that's going all the way down to like 140 degrees Wow that's crazy it's gonna take all the way it's gonna take a long time to get back up there to tour do your thumbs it's terrible Muriel all right let's do the same test with the hakko and to be consistent I'll just use the same sponge here and we should get our live update come on Wow stay in there it stayed there a lot longer didn't it there you go the hakko is holding up a lot better definitely now whether or not that's it well as I said these are both professional ions I'm sure the temperature sent in is very decent on these on the tip but this is holding up much better if I simply keep that on there and boil in the sponge water it's like it's dropped down to say to 230 ish but the Weller dropped down much further than that and it doesn't quick it and it drops quicker too so that indicates that the Weller at least by this test doesn't have the same thermal capacity Wow it's terrible like leave it on there and it's 100 140 ish know when it's gonna be the hakko out of that all right now it's time to see if we can burn the lead on this thing not nice 350 suffice that just fine brilliant let's try the hakko both have burn proof leads no worries oh and just in case your soldering iron firmware locks up hold both buttons and power up and it resets factory defaults that doesn't instill a lot of confidence in me so they basically were no operational instructions in the Weller manual so I scanned in the barcode took me over to folder de German and I had to go to operating instructions here and we can finally which is okay I'll get no problems with not having a manual in the box that's fine and we're in like Flynn but unfortunately it's exactly the same manual as the one that's printed out it doesn't explain like what offset or how the lock works or anything like that that's just it's just hopeless it goes just doesn't have proper operating instructions so how do you adjust the temperature on the hakko it's only got an up key and an in Turkey I didn't like it just go here like this and it does nothing it's infuriating so you hold down in turn like that and you can adjust the digits you can't go up and down that is infuriating unbelievable we can they put another button on there for goodness sake yeah they've got the nice funky design they didn't hire a designer for the bloody user interface did they hopeless ok I'm going to see how long it takes for the irons to go from 350 to 450 so we'll go Ready Steady Go 450 come on you can do it ah where's the well it doesn't show us yes it does there we go nah I think Oh is gonna win yep transition in a hundred degrees wins by a good oh jeez slows a wet week the Weller that's won by a good 10 12 seconds isn't it crazy no contest sir so let's actually try that again but set it to a lower temperature 250 this time and we'll do it simultaneously I think the sponge test is actually quite you know it's got uniform moisture across there and I think it's quite a decent quite a decent test the Weller dropped first and the well is dropping down to look at that whereas the hey guys holding in there it's only dropped by 10 degrees 12 degrees no contest hey guys the winner goats still climbing up so much for your extra 5 watts inside the science 70 watts compared to 65 it's all about the dog that's the hot end don't touch it's all about the design of a ceramic heater element and how it conducts the heat through it and the tip design and everything else and you know it's quite a lot of engineering which goes into a decent soldering iron pencil and tip design mind you I set out to find if the hakko actually has a factory reset and it actually does it's not mentioned in the manual but here's how you do it hold down both buttons pair on and up and you and you is factory reset and now it's actually set it back to Fahrenheit as you saw 750 Fahrenheit whereas out of the box this one was set to Celsius wasn't it yes it was how do we change it back actually the manual I've got doesn't seem to have the Celsius Fahrenheit like settings in there but I got another manual online and sure enough you hold down the UP button in there and we're in like Flynn and it is setting oh one two change from Fahrenheit to Celsius alright so we want to select one and F or C C thank you very much oh we done surely wait on come on get us here what's why Shh yes there we go we're out we're back to a much more sensible Celsius now that Fahrenheit rubbish and I've been trying to test the temperature of this tip but using my knockoff hako temperature sensor but even with solder on that tip the best I can get is to 6 I think I got to 70 before hmm but the hakko is pretty good 8 degrees I'm pretty happy with that so what's up with the Weller hmm try that again we've got solder on the tip so it should get good thermal transfer but that's saying it's like 270 that's way out okay let's use a better thermometer here let's got the fluke here we go oh geez feel that what a Bobby Dazzler alright I can't go much higher than that the thermocouples are not rated for it but Jase that's practice bang on let's try the same with the Weller no once again it's consistently low it's like 20 degrees low Wow um I didn't play with that offset did I so I'm actually gonna try and fix that I mean geez I shouldn't have to but let's go like plus 20 on that how do I sleep can I just select it like that is that it okay let's give it a go now yeah there we go I fixed it I get to calibrate the wah wah unbelievable and the hakko actually has the same functionality you can actually hold in terms of offset you can adjust you can go into adjust there I won't do it but you can adjust the temperature I've said it's basically got the same capability of the Weller but the hakko does actually have presets as well so if you want to do your presets you can actually go into the preset mode here you've got to go up to obviously 11 and go from 0 which is normal mode to 1 mode which is preset so by default it comes with 5 factory presets from a 300 to 700 Fahrenheit it's all in Fahrenheit rubbish so we go to we simply press up and that will give us will allow us to choose our preset selection like this so if we go to p1 OOP there we go 316 so it's going to go back down so that actually makes up for the crap user interface really not being able to just tweak the temperature at least you got 5 presets you know you can set one okay this is for my normal you know low thermal mass you know through whole paths or something like that next one might be you know some like larger thermal mass heat sinks or through-hole boards or you know something like that so you can just easily swap between them it's not too bad it's better than Wella which seems to have none even though it's got the three displays therefore it no this Willer is supposed to have an easy to change tip um so I just turned it off oh yeah oh yeah trust me it's still hot and can we have a look I've taken the paint taking the paint off it don't don't put your hot tips in this crap soldering iron stand oh you're that no I can smell it too garbage all right so much for that maybe if I tip it but I don't know if I put pressure on it no but hey it's least it's better than the Heike which you have to get off like that but once once you do then the tips generally just fall off though but some are a bit tighter depends okay what I'm going to do is set both of them to 300 Celsius because it's a nice round number I've got the same tip on each one which is a 3.2 millimeter chisel the hakko one looks a bit wider but they both claim to be three point two millimeters and we're just gonna heat up identical pads on this board with a ground plane and see which one wins alright so got both irons or left-handed iron feels weird I've got solder on the bottom of both of them I'm just gonna welcome on here and see ah they're both fine and dandy they're heating up the pad I'd say pretty equally and they're not getting stuck in fact the Weller hasn't actually yeah hasn't dropped the temperature on both of them is 300 trust me fun the will err a bit disturbing every time I go to clean it on the sponge it like it can just drop significantly yeah I didn't probably did it a bit too long there but still like I don't know just takes too long to recover it's a bit disturbing anyway I've set both of them to 270 and we will try that again but okay here we go whoo smoking okay just see if we can heat up that pet again at 270 yeah the hey guys doing it just ah the well is just I I would call that gonna call that maybe even I don't know it's hard or maybe it's the will of working a bit better you know and yes I'm using lead-free solder here by the way the Weller is doing it a little bit better at 270 let's try it again I'm gonna swap them around just ya know maybe this one's a bit maybe they're not symmetrical pads anyway there's not much in it okay let's try both of them on a bit of copper clad board so I'll just put down some flux there cuz our board is pretty crap although it's fairly equally clean so let's try the hakko at 300 shall we this is lead-free rubbish so let's go see what she can do oh yeah yeah it's doing that okay no problems it's 300 excellent let's try the exact same thing with the Willer at 300 and here we go camera ah not it's not gonna spread it's not gonna spread as spread as well ah okay in the end I think maybe the hakko might have just had the edge there but there's not a huge amount in it they can both do well ground planes at 300 okay let's put it back to 280 the board is cooled down so let's see if the hakko can do a ground plane come on come on nah nah but you wouldn't expect it to really know it's it's struggling it's struggling do the same struggle with the willow shall we here we go 280 nah nah not gonna do it so one is not spectacularly better I don't know maybe maybe is it a bit better not sure oh yeah maybe look at that good that how I will err at 218 you'll notice that the temperatures not dropping either on the display let me try that again with the hiko maybe I just didn't leave the hakko there long enough no there we there we go hang on put enough heat into it to start moving around yeah yeah okay no they're probably equal I wouldn't I wouldn't want to call that so I think I'll call the solder in quits say that's really wanted I wanted to test is the thermal performance and the hakko actually published their thermal drops they've actually are qualified how much the tip temperature are drops and all that sort of stuff if I can find a similar sort of data for the Weller then all included in the edit but but the hakko famously do that for their for this particular ions so and compare it with the original model showing that this one has a bit of better thermal recovery and but there's no point doing other types of fine solder and all that sort of stuff I've had a play around and they're both probably equally balanced the feel of both of them don't really have a huge preference I guess the rubber on the Weller feels a bit better than the plant sort of the whatever that it's kind of rubbery but it's not it's not the same sexy feel as the Weller but anyway there you go that is the hakko fx-888 can you of probably only available in North America at the moment hence the n/a on the end of the part number stands for North America but they're basically the same price in fact I found this one on special for a hundred and five US dollars and it's you can get the hakko for just under a hundred and ten US dollars depending on where you look around and really there's probably not a huge amount in it I mean I find it a bit disturbing how the temperature of this thing drops I mean the the high code heats up faster and this thing seems based on what the sponge test another couple of out and the ramp up test for a hundred degrees the well it doesn't seem to have as good a capacity as the hiko but when you actually put it on the energy through the tip the heat through the tip onto a ground plane they have pretty much equal in performance or seem to be so it's not a huge amount in it now in terms of the range of tips they both have an excellent range of tips available I'll try and get some prices and put them up on the tips which one will last longer I don't know everyone's got their own opinion everyone says hey code tips are [ __ ] hey code tips are great well the tips of [ __ ] well the tips are great so in like six one half a dozen of the other look to pick a winner out of this it's really hard the Weller I like much prefer the adjust the up/down user interface on this thing and I love the it's more sense to be more instant live readout the hakko might actually even have a leg on there cuz look it just doesn't do anything until like it's sort of you know hits a mode there where it sort of goes down but anyway the hakko might have a bit more thermal capacity I don't know but in that some real-world testing that I've done here it doesn't seem to make a difference I much prefer the Weller from a just a stand point point of view the stand is better there's absolutely no doubt about that the well is really kind of a bit Dicky so in that respect I'd probably maybe have the hakko it does have the presets but the user interface for just in the temperature up and down if you just want to tweak it a little bit is more of a pain in the ass the well is better in that respect so but it takes up more bench space and it's just and the stand feels a bit Dicky but the iron's better so I don't know I can't call the winner on this it's probably going to come down to personal preference I don't think you can go wrong with either one of these indeed this new Weller is certainly not a hay Kokila it's the same price range it's obviously shooting for the same target market but it doesn't kill it by any stretch and a quick teardown of both of them we've looked inside the analog version of the hakko before but we'll just have a look inside the digital one a very neat and tidy of course this is only this is the 240 volt version both of them are single mains voltage only so don't buy the wrong one don't buy one from a foreign market if it's not the correct one you have to buy your local 220 volt versions or a hundred and ten volt version take your pick so this is the 240 volt looks you know I won't go into detail but that looks you know really quite well built transformer looks good quality wiring all the ER things good no workers whatsoever let's have a look inside happen kind of two piece and once again we've got the earth down there no problems whatsoever it's all kind of exposed are you doing oh look okay inline fuse it's here but anyway that's a big-ass bloody probably switch in it and there's the front side of the Weller for those playing logger geez they've gone to town on the membrane button contacts their processor must be under there it's all neat and tidy they've just got you know nice little custom wrap around heatsink they're no problem they're both equally good build quality no worries but I must say the hakko is built more like a brick Danny if you're looking for an iron that you know it feels like you can drop it you know drag it off the bench drop it on the ground and probably survive the hakko is the winner the Weller feels with its plastic sort of like there's there's no screws there's just two screws holding it in the back so it had just explode if you if it fell off the bench I think I'm gonna do a drop test but yeah it's just this one's built like a brick Danny this one's it just feels it's not nearly as robust and it's actually kind of hard to convey how like sturdy this one feels once it's all together it might look a bit silly you know with the design of it but it really wants us together it really feels nice and solid so I know it's a bit disappointed but sorry I'm not gonna call a winner on that one they're both gonna do a decent job for the price they're both good entry-level irons although once again I've been using the Heco's for like 30 years the 926 the 936 and the FX are triple eight this is the first time I've had the triple 8d but it's basically exactly the same but with the digital control actually prefer the analog version but I don't even think they sell the analog version the FX triple eight I think you can only buy the triple 8d yeah the analogue ones just fine with the knob you know give me a knob but anyway yeah they're both decent ions so anyway I'm sure everyone will have their own opinion and if you want to discuss it comments down below evie blog forum down below all the fanboys will come out no doubt but yeah for like a hundred and just over a hundred bucks they're pretty good value so if you like that video please give it a big thumbs up and yes I will try and maybe get some others in the same price bracket there may I think there's a quick one which might even be cheaper so I wouldn't mind trying that one out as well but yeah I'm not gonna stop using my triple 8d but this one's alright to catch you next time [Music]
