hakko is one of the top producers. i have yet to use a bad hakko product. hakko is tailoring to the professional and the price kind of reflects it. Weller is a close second. weller has been around for donkey's years and i've used a pile of their products. they make some great products as well, but they also make some crummy junk. actually i wouldn't say weller is a second, it's neck and neck. |
| MonMotha:
Metcal master race. Unless of course you don't enjoy spending $1000 on a soldering iron, in which case you should probably get a Weller or Hakko. I've yet to find anything that really compares though I must admit to being out of the market for several years. |

I just received my Aoyue 701A++ station last night :applaud: so I'll do a full review if anyone is interested.. As an aside--the Hakko701 seems to go for about $1,400 and I got this one for $185+taxes and shipping (which is about a gillion dollars canadian...) so we'll see... |
| knave:
I am very interested. |
| lilshawn:
+1 I realize it's a fancy rip off, but I'm interested to see how the de-soldering part performs...especially with heavy traces like ground planes and power planes like some motherboard caps. |
