Choosing a Soldering/Desoldering gun.
 

Ebay seems to have some decent deals on used Hakko units.
Anyone have any other suggestions for a decent low $$$ gun.

TIA,
Dave

(hoping JD will give some insight here..... ;) )

Does it have to be a gun? I have a variable temp Weller Iron that I'm nothing but happy with.

Nope doesnt matter. I'll check'em out.

You have a desolding gun?

How much?

Re:Choosing a Soldering/Desoldering gun.
 

Weller is super common... their prices are therefore cheap, and you can actually find tips and misc parts for Weller units in any electronics boutique unlike the Hakko ---- Hondata jocks... nothing wrong with Hakko, mind, you just have to mailorder everything ahead of time.

Hehehe, Hondata jocks. ;)

Whats your gun of choice?

Actually, check out partsexpress.com . I think I paid like $35-$40 bucks for it. It's been like a year, so I can't remember. I know it wasn't that much.
