Has anyong looked at the 3 in 1 853D SMD DC Power Supply Hot Air Iron
Gun Rework Soldering Station from China that is selling for about $ 12
to $ 15 wth free shipping on ebay now ?

I bought one similar without the low voltage power supply/meter a few
years back. They were around $ 60 back then. While I am sure it would
not hold up under heavy use , it works very well for my maybe once
month use.

I just put one on order as a spare at that price. There are several
sellers at that price and several more at the $ 50 or so range.


I tried to buy one of these, last year. About two weeks later, Ebay refunded the money, and the seller no longer had an account on Ebay. Like in these ads, there were hundreds sold, and decent feedback. Also, you have to be careful. Some sellers don't tell you that their soldering tools are 240VAC instead of 120 VAC.
