What is a good hobby solder station to get?

A lot depends on if you are doing surface mount or through-hole work. That is why I like the unit I have above, because it has an iron, a hot air tool, and a solder extractor. While solder wick will work in a pinch, nothing beats a quality vacuum solder extractor. And I don't mean those spring loaded POS ones like this.  knockout

I don't know but here's a cheapie Japanese combo unit that might work...
Has a digital temperature display too!
Don't ask Blueridge if it needs a Clear chip if an error code pops up though!   rotflmao

Yeah, I stocked up on the leaded solder....

I have over 20 pounds of it. Smiley

Fry's had 1/2lb spools on clearance for $1.90 a year or 2 ago and I bought a bunch there... then at the local Dallas "sidewalk sale" sale a few months ago I picked up over a 1/2 case of 1lb rolls for $5 each.

I should be set for years now!
