Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Desoldering station

Hi Steve,

I found the cheap AOYUE and clone units are not up to scratch for me.

Just bought a DENON SC-7000 desoldering gun at work (~350eur), that
one works great so far. But somewhat out of my price range for home
use.

I haven't found anything even useable below that price, so far.
