    I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but any experience with these inexpensive tools?
    I am a rookie at electronic work, haven't done any wire soldering since my motorcycle days 30 years ago. I'd like to start practicing on some junk boards and maybe do a restoration on an older ss pin.
    These soldering stations are under $100 on ebay.

    The Tenma 2 in 1 looks like about $175 and the Hakko is like $4-500.

    Okay, so a good soldering station and use like a Sodapult for desoldering?
    Thought I would watch some tutorials, do some more reading and start practicing on some old PC boards. I'm still trying to make a deal on a pin that needs work.
