Hey guys,
I have searched the forums finding various pros and cons but I am still undecided. I would value your input on a buying decision here- I am planning on purchasing a desoldering tool/station. I am hoping to avoid the pitfalls other users here have experienced. This will be for commercial use (repairing vehicle PCMs, exhaust analyzers, electronic ballasts, etc.) but since I am just starting off and this is coming out of my own pocket and not my shop's I am trying to keep the costs down.
I have narrowed the list down to three choices all of which are about the same price- the Aoyue 474Aa++, the ZD985, and the Hakko 808. I am also open to other suggestions. Performance is important, but I am far more concerned with reliability and even moreso than that- "repairability" (which seems to be largely determined in this specialty area by the availability of replacement parts).
Thank you in advance,
Techniker
