Electronics workbench talk (was "Hakko 888D")

harveybirdman:
Well I did sign up for Fry's to tell me when they're selling 888D's for the discount again....

But yeah, that's not the one I'm buying and I've seen the knocks for the one that I am.  For a gorilla handed hack like me, I doubt the quality of my work would be much better with a nicer station, but your point is well taken.

Slippyblade:
Don't get me wrong.  I looooooove my Hakko.  First time I fired it up it was almost a religious experience compared to what I was used to.  They're just a lot more money than I am used to paying.  The money I spent on it was well worth it, no doubt.  I just wish I'd been able to pay a little less.   >:D >:D >:D
menace:
I'm embarassed about how long I have been using my crappy pencil for soldering and bulb-type solder sucker for desoldering :-\ Its time for a change!

What would you guys recommend for a decent all in one solder/desolder station?

edit:
this seems interesting..

Oh and ditch the sponges and get the brass cleaner--works very well..
