What are you planning on doing with the rework station? They go hot enough to do lead-free solder so you could repair consumer electronics - a lot of them have problems due to improper wave soldering where the BGA heats up and then creates a gap. The most famous example of this is red ring of death xbox 360s where the GPU would overheat itself, create a gap, and then not work.<div>

I still want a good solder station though. any one has any<br>
suggestions or comments for me?<br>
