I use solder/desolder stations with handpieces. Professional type equipment, but outlasts and outperforms the guns all day long. The Aoyue 474A I saw referenced in a prior post looked interesting and a nice hybrid at a good price. I use Xytronic (not x-tronic) and Pace with good results. I do this for a living, and the more difficult reworks are almost impossible with a one piece gun. YMMV.
