Got my desoldering station today, i bought a spare gun and alot of extra parts so i have spares if it break as its a cheap station.
My first thought was how heavy it was i would have thought for the price it would be light as a feather, so i pluged it in and started testing it and it works good it sucks good and it heats fast up it also turns itself of if you dont use it in a while.
I know this is cheap desoldering station but i cant justify using 300-500$ on a desoldering station because i only solder a couple times a month, i was looking for a hako 220volt but they are to expensive.
I put out some pictures of it sorry if i posted this in the wrong subforum.

been working for years and all I have used is a solder gun, a cordless gas powered and a desoldering iron. I think I have $75 in all of them.

I had a desoldering iron but it started leaking and this is much better it sucks the feet out of the vias and there is no leftover solder in the vias im always scared of using to much heat with this it goes faster to get the solder out.
Now i dont know what desoldering iron you are using but i notice a big difference from the one i have and i love a new toy
