SMD Rework Soldering Desoldering Station LCD 11 Tip Hot Air Gun Iron Digital
 
Pretty Nice Piece of Equipment
- Pros: Easy to use and setup. Both heat gun and soldering iron heat up very quickly.
- Cons: The soldering iron tips are a little weak. The heat gun will sometimes get above 480 which is the max, it can be scary when it hits 550 and doesn't seem like it will stop
- Other Thoughts: If you buy this be VERY careful, I set the heat gun down wrong and cooked a good size chunk of my pinky.

Sinometer 60 Watts Soldering Iron - UL listed
Doesn't look like it is 60 Watt
- Pros: This is a standard iron - with that kind of price, I was hoping that there should bea detachable flat tip along with the pointed tip.
- Cons: It did no better than a 20 Watt iron. I was really surprised !!

Weller SP40LK Medium Duty Soldering Iron Kit
- Pros: Does what it needs to do and does it well.
- Cons: Doesn't come with a bigger coil of solder wire.
- Other Thoughts: It does what it needs to do and fixed a couple loose wires on both my sets of headphones. Worth it!

Weller WESD51 Digital soldering station. Includes WESD51PU power unit, PES51 soldering pencil, PH50 stand, sponge
We'll see
- Pros: Digital display, very nice pencil. It's a Weller, they've got a reputation for quality.
- Cons: My particular iron showed up DOA. It would power on, attempt to start heating, display an 888, and then power off. This cycle would repeat indefinitely. Apparently this is a common problem with this particular model.
- Other Thoughts: Ness Electronics (the vendor) was incredibly helpful. The tech support guy, Rich, grabbed a new unit off the shelf, plugged it in real quick while I was on the phone to make sure it started heating. He then immediately shipped it out with a pre-paid label for me to return my defective unit to them.
I would do business with Ness again in a heartbeat. They took very good care of me and saved an otherwise bad experience.

Hakko FX888D-23BY digital soldering station. Comes with medium pencil, tip & iron holder. Replaces 936-12.
Great Product
- Pros: This items is perfect right out of the box. I was shipped with a chisel tip somewhere around 1.5mm and is the perfect size for most soldering or de-soldering on chip boards of all sorts. For most of my soldering on chip boards I have set the temp dial on 350 degrees and it works fine, I set the temp up to 450 on some de-soldering jobs to get the work done faster. Sure I would like a digital display to tell me the current temp, but that is not required because this heats up in 30 seconds! When you turn this soldering system on, the red LED lights up, when the tip is up to the set temp, the red LED light gos off. This item comes recommended by Dave Jones on youtubes EEVblog, so I wanted to get it a try and I'm glad I did. This item replaces the Hakko 926 and the 936.
- Cons: The LED goes out when the temp is where the dial is set, if it had a LED to let you know the power was on that would be better.

Hakko FX888D-23BY digital soldering station. Comes with medium pencil, tip & iron holder. Replaces 936-12.
Great machine!
- Pros: Heats up in less than 30 seconds. Smaller than I expected. Very solid and heavy, neither the station or the stand slide or tip. Lots of compatible tips to choose from than can be found pretty cheap. Works very well, recovers quickly.
- Cons: Ugly. I was very reluctant to buy it because of the awful color scheme and they don't make any other colors for North America, I even emailed the manufacturer about it. It's not quite as ugly as it looks in pictures. I am growing to love it for what it is.
No "ON" indication. The LED simply tells you when the heating element is on. But the iron can be on and not heating up. It has a solid switch on the side but it's out of view and it's nice to know it isn't on when you glace at it. I fixed this by adding LEDs inside that shine out the top vents.
This particular package comes with only one tip that is a bit bigger than one might prefer for PCB stuff. Make sure you buy extras in the size and shape you need.
These things are just nitpicking.
