I have the genuine HAKKO FX-951 (ESD safe) solder station which is essential for good soldering. It does cost double the other guys but the "sleep" mode is very nice as tip temp is dropped to 450F when solder iron is parked in its holder. It returns to 670F (temp fully adjustable) a few seconds after I take the iron out of the holder. This feature really extends life of the tips. Having a professional station really makes my little business of building kits much better/easier.
