Questions and answers

Is the SS-256EU worth $118.62?
At $118.62 at Test Equipment Depot as of November 3, 2026, it is the lowest of the four new prices listed. For a 60 W microprocessor station with a sleep timer and USB output, that is a fair price.
How does it compare with a Hakko FX-888D?
Both are 60 W-class analog-style stations with digital control. The Eclipse adds an adjustable sleep timer and a USB port; the Hakko has a much deeper tip ecosystem and wider service support.
What is the maximum temperature?
896°F, which covers leaded and lead-free solder and most common alloys. Very high-temperature work above that needs a different station.
What tip does it use, and can I change it?
It ships with a needle-point conical tip for fine work. The tip is replaceable, so you can fit other shapes if you buy them separately.
What comes in the box?
The station, the iron with its needle-point tip, and a case. A spare tip and solder are not included.
When is it cheapest?
It has been listed near $118 to $120 recently, and $118.62 at Test Equipment Depot as of November 3, 2026 is at the bottom of that range. Waiting for a deeper cut is unlikely to pay off.
