I had one of these and the main transformer went on fire leaving me with no tools at all. The quality of these Chinese stations is not good, I would spend a little more and get separate tools that way you won't get caught out if one explodes!

Well as expected. I have all tools except desoldering tool, i will have to dig deeper to find one then

I too would prefer separate tools rather than these all-in-ones. Dave did a review of the Atten unit on one of his vids. I use a Sirocco hot air unit which I believe is made by Aoyue.. you can find them on ebay maybe.. just search for Sirocco hot air.... or I get mine locally at circuitspecialists

IMO these are the sorts of things I expect to throw in the bin every few years

Thats not the type of desoldering tool i was thinking about. Im in search for heated gun with suction.

Looks nice, i could order one for review but its 110 VAC

Some Aoyue stations use 110V/220V transformers. It's a matter of rewiring the primary side of the transformer.
