Recommendations for soldering station and Desoldering station or rework station.
I am in the market for a new soldering station and a de-soldering
station. The following brands are available to me locally RS (electrocomponents not radio shack) without too much bother for returns. Weller ERSA Xytronic Pace I only have used Weller irons before and have found them reliable, make good clean joints, tips last a long time, quite robust. Quite a few Weller irons seem to go obsolete though which is a little concerning Ahas anyone experience of any of these soldering stations and recommend one or recommend one not to get? I have not had much mileage out of Antex irons so don't want another one of them. For a de-soldering station the Weller DSVT80 Soldering Kit is about my budget. Has anyone experience with this station? The pace iron looks quite appealing though but out of my league. I don't have compressed air and the old diving tanks are out of their certification date so no-one will fill them. Maybe I'd be better saving a bit more and getting a rework station - one that will solder de-solder and also do SMT. Again any recommendations? Is this the way to go? -- Z Remove all Zeds in e-mail address to reply. |
