You might consider a combo workstation if you don't already have a hot air rework station for SMD work. |

A separate Chinese clone 858D hot air station ~$45 as far as I can tell is the best bang for buck before something like a Quick 861DW hot air station ~$240 shipped from China. |

I have the Quick 957DW which can be had for $95 USD. Much better, though the hose is a bit stiff. |
