Ken,

Just for once, we can buy something cheaper here in the UK.

I bought one of these from Maplin here and it's a Chink made station.

The only problem is the crap plastic isolation cables, which just have to be 
replaced. Nothing complicated but have to be done.

I use mine to solder even the finest TQFP chips from AD...

Also, buy an extra bag of tips for it.


Cheers

Dan
