Re: What is a good de-soldiering iron/tool?

After reading the desoldering forums, I do want to step up to an easier way to desolder than a squeeze bulb or spring method. It looks like a really good and affordable one, is the Aoyue 474A++ Digital Desoldering Station. It is around 200 so I hope it good. I read some reviews that it works OK on motherboards but I was not so sure. This is my main use right now. Anyone use this one???...

Old data sheet is at...
