First of all, I am a hobbiest so I am not looking to acquire top of this line equipment. With that said,
I would like to acquire some new soldering/desoldering/etc. equipment for electronic hobby purposes.
Obviously, whatever I get, I would like to be able to use it for a few years, so durability is key. Also, with more and more components being surface mounted, I would like to make sure the equipment provides me the ability to work with SMD components.
My first thoughts, just for starters, were:
1) a new soldering iron
2) new multimeter (but with what measurements other than the obvious)
3) heat gun (what kind and what temp range)
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
