I'm using one like this since about 5 years: http://cgi.ebay.com/KADA-852D-Rework-Welder-Station-SMD-SMT-Hot-AiR-Iron_W0QQitemZ160397453373QQcategoryZ63941QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3907.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BFICS%252BUFI%252BDDSIC%26otn%3D8%26pmod%3D190449294782%252B400153105665%252B280560774343%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5248818729031469833#ht_796wt_932

If you're planning to work with small smd (0603 or 0402) and very small components (SOT, TQFP, etc) then you need one with mechanical air flow meter.
