I use a Hakko 808 for desoldering, and a Weller WS-80
computer-controlled unit for soldering. Each is nearly ideal (for my
uses) for the particular application. I like the dial-up heat and
extraordinarily fast response of the Weller soldering pencil. Less than
30 seconds from cold to 700 degrees.
For really serious soldering where a LOT of heat is needed, I have a
Weller 120-watt iron - the type with a 1/2" diameter, 3" long solid
copper tip. That last one only gets used once a year or so, but it's
a bit like a parachute - when you need it, absolutely nothing else will
do.

but which Hakko soldering station do you like?
