Where to get Hakko locally?

[mattc707]

After seeing Scheize's milk shots with the Hakko 25w soldering iron, I want to buy one....but I hate ordering shit online just because of the wait.
Does anyone know where I could get one locally, maybe at Radio Shack or something like that?

Thanks

If you have a Fry's electronics near you, they have them there for sure. I got one yesterday in store and it was 30 bucks for the 25 Watt. Im not too sure about Radioshack, the main thing you need to find is that it has a ceramic heating element that you can have access too. If you want to get a hakko, make sure that the bottom has a ring around it, you just unscrew that and use the white part. Hope that helps...


P.S. Weed tastes soooo much better with the Hakko. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the help.
But god damn it, the nearest Fry's to me is 60-somethin miles away, their store locator on their website says.
Any other retailers?
Thanks again

Smoking in general is sooo much better with the Hakko. Hate using lighters when I'm at a friends house...seams so barbaric now lol.

I just found this, might help you out. Let me know what you think when you get one, i just picked one up yesterday like I said and i love it.

[mattc707]

Thanks for the link, but it doesn't show anything for my zip code, or for all or Northern California for that matter. That can't be right.

I dk man, they seem kind of hard to find. You could always check a hobby shop or something of the sort. You could also go back to that website i gave you and look up distributers and give them a call and see if you can pick one up. Lemme know how it goes

Try looking in the yellow pages for electronics/tool stores. If you're lucky somewhere will carry Hakko.

look for stained glass supply stores, they use hakkos because of their heat retention.

i already ordered mine

I'm in LA and couldn't find anyplace that stocked them other than frys.
I ended up ordering it from their website.

[mattc707]

I think I'll just order it from the Frys site.

Would this work?
