yotsuya:
They can have my Hakko when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

Slippyblade:
Nice! Definitely let us know how that works for ya. I'd love to find a knock off desoldering rig that was comparable.

I hear you bro! but SHMUP boards are expensive yo! gotta save $ where a brotha can.

Vigo:
This is the juncture where I get my wife to guilt me into getting the spendier tool. Not that she calls the shots, but down the road she won't complain about my over-spending. Prevents her from buying expensive crap in retaliation.

"Gee, I think I am really gonna get the cheaper soldering station, I know I really love the one that is $50 more, and it would be a tool that will most likely last me my whole life and has countless glowing reviews, but I think I would be happy with the other brand model. If it craps out in 3 years, well, maybe I will have better paying job at the time to get a new one."

10 minutes of pissing and moaning about with that crap and my wife is practically begging me to spend the extra $$$

lilshawn:
i'll tell ya whut, anybody ever used a hakko would tell you to shove a yuiha soldering iron up yer bum.

if you in the sticks and need to solder a wire, buy a yuihah or whatever... then throw it out after you are done.

these chinese clones are garbage. they don't hold heat...they are not particularly ESD proof like the hakko. you will end up wrecking more than you'll fix. the quality just isn't there. just spend the hunskie and get the hakko. you'll thank me later.
