    This is what I use and it works pretty good, the $150 price tag was nice too.

        those are actually around $500-600

        but if I were to voice my opinion on which one, I would say the hakko. However let others chime in on this before you choose

          I second that. For the price it's probably the best out there. It is made by ATTEN too.

              The 808 is good.

              If you buy it from Amazon, click on that "6 new" or whatever, and see what sellers are there... get a seller with good reputation.

              By default, i see a "ness electronics" with only 59 ratings, while there's a second seller with the same price "Test Equipment Depot" with 10k + sales.

              There's also a US seller on eBay which huge sale history and he also sells a large selection of Hakko :

              Test Equipment Depot also has an eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/TestEquipment...&_stpos=&gbr=1


              That Circuit Specialist station is desoldering AND soldering ... two in one. The 808 is just desoldering. Looks like a great deal for the price, but someone may prefer the Hakko due to its reputation.

                I have the circuit specialist station. It is a step up from braid and pumps. I would say its middle of the road. For the price it can't be beat but if you want top notch get a hakko.
