Hi Guys, Need a bit of advice on purchasing a Soldering Station. until recently we had a Duratool ZD 939 at work that was capable, but it failed a few weeks ago, most likely the heating element and since we are in a recession it was decided that it is not worth repairing, as we do not use it that much. I actually did, but mostly for my own projects. Anyway, it seems that now I need to get my own and I have been looking at a few models, which seem quite good for a budget soldering/ rework station. I have a budget of around =A3150, I can probably stretch it to =A3200, if I c= an get it pass the missus :-) I looked at a few models on Ebay and such and would like your opinion on them or some other makes/models I may have missed. the models I looked at are: - Duratool ZD 939A - Kada 852D+ - WEP 852D+ probably the same as above with different badge. - WEP 872D+ - AOYUE 968 (which I really like) - CSI 825++ Your opinions and experiences are welcomed.
