Hi, This is my first post here. I have worked in the offshore electronics industry in various capacities for many years. When working in a manufacturing/testing/repair facility, the company used Weller soldering stations. I want to buy a decent quality soldering station for a variety of electronics jobs at home, and need something that is ESD safe, and has a temperature-controlled facility. Does anyone have any recommendations for any alternatives to a Weller that are good quality, and a reasonable price? I have been browsing the web for articles, and come up with the name AOYUE. There are a few favourable comments about them, but I would like a wider opinion. Does anyone have any favourites (and why?) for a good quality soldering station that is ESD safe and temp-controlled, either from Aoyue, or any other manufacturers? Cheers, Rob Cheers, Rob
