Verdict
For hobby and general electronics use, the YIHUA 939D+ III EVO matches or exceeds the Hakko on core spec — genuinely higher wattage — for roughly two-thirds the price. The FX888D earns its premium in professional settings where tip availability, resale familiarity and long-term parts support matter more than the up-front price or wattage gap.
