Here I go over the Hakko FX-951 soldering station and the FM-2032 micropencil soldering iron. I'll discuss what I like about it, what I don't like about it, and most importantly show it in use performing some real world tasks on difficult to rework motherboards. This way you can decide for yourself if it is a worthwhile tool for your collection.

As always, if you want to learn how to fix motherboards, watch this channel, or come to our tutoring! http://www.rossmanngroup.com/logic-board-repair-training-class/
