I use the X-TRONIC station, it seems to be working quite well.

its basically a hakko, all the tips and heaters are hakko brand.
for desoldering i suggest this.

i own this(S-993A), hakko 808 and the hakko fr-300 be careful they have 110v and 220v
versions.
and this keeps up with the big boys and at around 50 L, your price or less ,in the UK you
cant go wrong.
pretty sure these filters work with the S-993A

its got excellent thermal recovery maybe even better then the Fr-300

Subject: Comparison of Desoldering Stations
I need to buy a desoldering station and in my price range it seems I have
the choice of two:
Duratool (sold under several other brands too) D00672:

1384
Aoyue 474A++:

Has anyone tried both of these to give me an idea which is the better buy?
Thanks
