Soldering station?

[EdK]

We used to use Pace equipment at work but the last several years they've gone down hill. We no longer use Pace products at all. We now use Weller for the finer soldering jobs like the small surface mount components and use Hakko for the larger soldering jobs. Our solder sucker is also Hakko. Granted, this isn't for home use so YMMV. At home I have a dual station Hakko that's built like a tank and weighs about as much, it's all steel. It's a very nice soldering station but unfortunately they quit making it quite some time ago.

I agree with what Arvid said about checking out http://www.eevblog.com/forum/ .

Hope this helps some.
