I've found their irons to be nicer than the lower end Wellers for the same price, and almost as nice as the much more expensive Hakko stuff. Just a quick tip for anyone who might find one occasionally useful, but doesn't need one daily.","subreddit_name":"Multicopter","author":"kerowhack"},{"body":"Hm, I haven't been crazy enough to try, but it's probably a good skill to have.

I to use the hot air station for occasional soldering work. I use the  Aoyue 968A+. Works well enough for me. Someone like Louis Rossman, professional mac repair technical and owner of a shop as well as a youtuber prefers either the Atten ST-862D or the Quick 861DW. I think he prefers the Atten and as a bonus, it's less expensive.
