Surprisingly the 852D+ which is a very cheap rework station is quite good.
Quite a few reviews on the EEVblog.

Hi Tom,
Personally, I wouldn't touch this without a hot air gun. I don't know what
your budget is. What I consider reasonable may be an order of magnitude
smaller than for you. So, I use a generically labeled 852D+ rework combo. It
has both solder pencil and hot air gun. There are better hot air guns for a
reasonable price that have a better system for changing the nozzles. OTOH,
I've heard some complaints about this "better" system where the nozzle has
fallen off. If you've got a Pace soldering system, then you already know what
to do. =)

See C13 in the attached photo. I need to replace some blown caps on a few
boards [1]. In one instance the cap got so hot it melted itself off the board.
Quiet convenient, actually -- it acts like its own fuse -- but I don't think
the 5071 designers had that clever feature in mind.
Having not done SMT before, how should I do it with minimal risk to the very
precious PCB. Or, what equipment should I use this as a good excuse to buy?
Thanks,
