    Back when I was a young man I worked on an Air Force base as a technician. That is where I learned to solder. The equipment was state of the art but 20 years old (just like everything else in the military including me). I have a basic Weller now but I want something higher end with foot peddles. Can anybody give me a good recommendation.

    Thanks but I was looking for something with the foot pedal controls for desolder. Makes life much easier.

    I guess I'm looking for something more high end. What I have been offered so far are fairly inexpensive units. I'm looking for a nice setup that isn't made is some questionable country. Foot pedals are the best plus that is what I'm used to. Dropping 1000 plus on a good unit doesn't seem like waste. I have over 40 games in my collection when you factor in my arcades.

    Quoted from Pball:

    We recently switched from Metcal to JBC soldier stations at work. I sill use metcal at home, but the DR560-A is a really nice desoldering iron.

    Now this looks good and I see an option for foot pedals. I think I like it.
