I have a Hakko FX-888, works great, looks like a kids toy. I have a variety of tips, large screwdriver to very small conical and have done everything from AWG4 lugs to SOT23 SMTs, leaded and lead free solder. Temp adjustable and very good heat and recovery. I have also used a Metcal and like the Hakka just as much. Lots of tips available.
