    It looks nice, but the site lists filters but doesn't show them for sale. I wonder if the Hakko filters would work. The gun looks identical to the one listed at the Amazon link. I wish they listed what brand it was.

    Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

    The one I linked, the Aoyue 474A+ uses the same filters as the Hakko, they fit fine. It's a knockoff off the Hakko station.

    Good to know, thanks. I have a nice Weller soldering station and a Hakko 808, but wouldn't mind having something I could leave in the garage for the few things I do out there. (My normal work bench is in the basement, and it would be nice to not have to move stuff back and forth all the time.)

    Quoted from johnwartjr:

    Aoyue get decent reviews. I would strongly advise against Circuit Specialists or Specialty tools. I've had a couple of their desoldering guns melt down. Literally. On the workbench.

    Thanks John, that decides it then. Glad to get info from people with past experience with products.

    Quoted from centerflank:

    Just got a hakko 808 in mail today, cant wait to try it out.

    Just make sure you let it warm up the full 5 minutes before using it like the manual says. You will love it, it works great. Buy some extra filters (the paper ones) you will need them. If I can find the link on rgp there is a good post on what tips and accessories to get for it. Also if you need a good place to get tips and parts go to Testequipment.net they have every replacement part made for Hakko guns, and good prices. They also sell and have good prices on Weller stuff.
