Because of its popularity and his relative newness to the iron, I asked if he&rsquo;d like to write up a review for it. You can follow him on <a href="https://twitter.com/intpirate">twitter</a>.</aside> <p><a href="https://www.baldengineer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/01-Hakko-Iron-and-Stand.jpg"><img src="https://www.baldengineer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/01-Hakko-Iron-and-Stand-576x1024.jpg" alt="01-Hakko Iron and Stand"></a> Just based on the color, the Hakko FX-888D seemed, at first, like it was a toy compared to other electronic tools and equipment. The color does make it easy to spot even if you are buried in a project. You can quickly find it because it stands out. The outside seems like plastic, but it is made from or encased in metal. Knowing that it was only a plastic enclosure made me feel like this will be with me for a long time.</p>
