I couldn't find anything on this, so...
I have been recapping motherboards for a few years, and have a decent Weller soldering station (WLC100) that I like alot. Easy to use and maintain. However, I am in need of a good desolder device since 98% or what I do is rework.
Radio Shack bulbs suck. They only last a week and do more damage than good. I at one time had a Hakko 808, but had to return it the next day due to needing money for unforeseen circumstances. I never got a chance to learn to use it.
Is there a cheaper alternative to the Hakko 808? I 'd prefer something that didn't need braid, as most of the work I do is through-hole, not surface mounted.
Thanks!
