@arandomhitman nobody on here can give you an objective answer. WE can only tell us what we like. that is not what we want to do. The best tool for you is the one that works for you. It does you know good if I tell you that my Weller is the best. Tools are just like anything else, they have to work for you. It does not matter how much they cost or how pretty they look, if they just don't feel right to you. Tools are very individual and thus none of our opinion should sway you one way or the other. I have seen some amazing work being done with some Walmart soldering iron and have seen some nasty work done with Hakko stations. It's not the tool that makes the tradesperson. The trick is that you need to learn to walk before you start running.
