PRESTO 980 Pencil-Style Soldering Iron
The Hakko Presto iron is a 20W light-duty iron with a boost feature allowing the user to increase power to 130W for occasional heavy-duty applications.
The HAKKO Presto irons are light-duty soldering irons with a difference — there’s a (yellow) switch allowing the user to kick up the power for occasional heavy-duty applications.
The iron delivers **20W** power normally, but when quick heat-up is needed, or when a large amount of energy is temporarily required (such as soldering relays or connectors) the yellow switch allows for **130W of power**.
Two styles are available: **pencil** and **pistol**.
- Part Number: 980-V12/P (pencil-style)
- Part Number: 981-V12/P (pistol-style)
